Write of Passage 9: Christin’s Mentor Session 3

Session 3 Recap

• Some emotions are hard to name or are actually quite complex behind-the-scenes. So befriending them is a touch challenging…but what if we honor them instead, and just get to know their “true names”?

Exercise

• But sometimes, the feeling of tiredness/drained can be a disguised emotion…

• “Tiredness/drained” can represent physiological needs, or perhaps unnamed inner conflict!

• It is really important to address physiological needs!

Words Used By Attendees to Describe Inner Conflict

• Tug of War
• Indecision, self-doubt, second-guessing
• Resistance
• Dissonance
• "two wolves inside me, one wants a cuppa, one wants a chai tea latte"
• Feels like Adam Tank’s Demogorgan is a good name for an internal demon
• Two magnets with the same poles pointing at each other.
• nice tie in bananas
• “Out of integrity”, or “out of alignment”
• Uncalibrated from my Values GPS
• Bicameralism
• The Way of Integrity by Martha Beck is a great book on this topic.
• Something is pushing me away… and I need to sit down with myself and ask myself why that is
