This newfound freedom from shame really helped me move forward in my step work with grace and forgiveness for both myself and others, and I was able to finally distinguish what actually belonged to me and was my burden to carry and what never was.
Ever wondered how your past shapes your present? In this episode, Kina opens up about her childhood in an alcoholic and dysfunctional home, shedding light on the emotional and mental toll it took on her. As a teenager, she grappled with intense anger and frequent temper tantrums, feeling trapped in a cycle of rage. But her story takes a turn when she discovers ACA meetings, which become a cornerstone in her journey towards healing.
Kina introduces the concept of the family diagram, a tool that helped her map out inherited behaviors and decide what to keep and what to let go. This visual representation was pivotal in identifying coping mechanisms that no longer served her. She also shares five transformative gifts she received from working through her dysfunction: release, understanding, acceptance, self-compassion, and detachment with love.
One of the most impactful steps for Kina was the fourth step, where she learned to differentiate between what was truly hers and what was a product of her upbringing. This clarity allowed her to replace negative traits with positive ones, using affirmations to combat feelings of shame. Kina emphasizes the importance of healing the barriers that prevent us from experiencing life as intended.
Listeners will find practical advice on applying ACA tools not just in personal life but also in professional settings. Kina's story is a testament to the power of self-awareness and the courage to confront one's past. If you're seeking insights into overcoming the effects of a dysfunctional upbringing, this episode offers a heartfelt guide to finding freedom.
