Many people can relate to feeling hurt and untrusting, believing that they don't have the space to allow someone into their lives. It is possible to operate on a level of trust, even after experiencing past traumas. I encourage you  to take accountability for the way you show up for yourself and others, as the lack of accountability can lead to being stuck in old patterns and resistant to growth.Feeling broken and guarded can make it challenging to open up and allow someone to love and nurture the wounded parts of their heart. We desire to protect the little corner that is still available for love and restoration but sometimes the suffering we experience is self-imposed because we are resistant to undoing the pain we have endured. Acknowledge that it is a step-by-step process but allow your heart a little bit of an opening, as experiences can help us recall the capacity to love and be loved.  It is important to not allow past hurts prevent personal growth and the ability to love and connect with others. Listen in as w dive in deeper…00:05:48 Breaking free from past hurt.00:08:23 Open up and embrace growth.00:13:07 We all want love and connection.Support the show
