Unmasking Change: Steven Wilson on Life’s Realities and Self-Discovery
Life is about relationships with ourselves and the outside world. But the relationship with ourselves is the most crucial to our quality of life.
Have you ever wondered if true change is possible or if we're all just wearing different masks to get by? In this thought-provoking episode of 'The Leaves of a Victim never more', Steven Wilson dives into the complexities of change and self-identity. Drawing from his own experiences as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and a recovering drug addict, Steven challenges the idea that change can be permanent.
He argues that constantly switching 'costumes' to fit societal norms isn't sustainable and questions whether our impulsive actions are inherently part of us, regardless of past trauma. This episode is a deep reflection on the relationship we have with ourselves and how it shapes our interactions with the world. Steven also touches on the price of self-awareness and the limitations of change, especially for those who have experienced significant trauma.
If you're grappling with your own journey of self-discovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a raw and honest look at what it means to be authentic in a world that often demands conformity.
