Understanding Injury
Then I talked to my friend Tracy Dunblazer, and Tracy and I talked it through a little bit, and she kind of came up with the same thing and was like, yeah, I think it has to do with these things we store from our parents that aren't necessarily ours. It's just like, things that this injury was moving, that thing that I don't need anymore. So I thought, yeah, that feels really right to me

My nutritional icon grandma. So we are taught things in our lives over time, even as our world changes, our cultures change, our relationship to those things change, right? So the change agent that all of those things have in common is grief. And grief, of course, is the way in which we emotionally expel pain through crying, wailing, gnashing of teeth, sometimes maniacally laughing, right? But it's a way that we actually use our body and our brain to release energy

And so then how do we know to process it? So that's my first question. Then my second question is, is there a way to kind of process this pain or this trauma or these things that are in our body that we don't even maybe know about? Or even if we do know about it, we don't know that we're holding on to it. Is there a way to do that before injury or illness or pain points it out to us?

And by forget, like, we literally when when you grieve a lot, you you forget the trauma and you put it in a different you know, I don't have scientific knowledge of this, but as an empath and having cried for the first 50 years of my life, every day, everybody cries. I cried every day. Definitely it's unique because it shifts it to a different part of the brain. That's what it feels like to me

That seems confusing. But there are studies. I mean, there are courses on staying happy and being happy. But I think what I'm getting at is that it seems like grief and experiencing grief is part of that process, and we shouldn't be hiding from it

We have to surrender those emotions in order to feel the expression of grief and then the vulnerability and sometimes guilt and shame, depending on how you grew up, with whom you grew up, right? That comes with feeling big emotion, especially sorrow and sadness. There is never a time that one in quotation marks just gets over it. That just doesn't happen. That's just not a truth anywhere. Now, understand, in our culture, people do it, right?
