Thank you ever so much for sharing your thoughts on how Katie’s remarkable ability to transform her own suffering into a source of support for others has inspired you.
I truly value your insights and will certainly make a concerted effort to engage with the strategies that have helped her reframe her experiences.
That said, I feel it is important to share that as someone in my fifties who has navigated significant challenges related to exploitation and abuse—particularly in relation to being on the spectrum with delayed processing—the healing journey can be quite challenging for me. It appears that those who have drawn benefit from my hardships wield considerable influence over my situation, shaped by their connections and resources. Unfortunately, finding appropriate support to escape distressing circumstances within a community that often makes grand promises while prioritizing its own protection seems to complicate matters further.
At times, this entire situation feels rather overwhelming, especially when I reflect on some of the more troubling aspects of human behavior in affluent communities.
I sometimes find it difficult to envision a path forward, given the burdens I carry, and I occasionally worry that finding healing and peace may feel elusive.
Nonetheless, I remain committed to exploring Katie’s works, with the hope of alleviating the sorrow stemming from exploitation and the misuse of power, allowing myself the opportunity to heal from the difficult experiences I have endured for the fleeting gratification of others.
Thank you once again for sharing what has contributed to your journey.
Sarah, thank you so much for this beautiful comment. Like I said in the post, severe hardship and trauma in the realms of abuse / neglect - I agree those are incredibly hard things to navigate regardless of anything else. I once saw Katie doing The Work with a woman who had lost her child. No words.
Speaking simply from the workings of The Work, I know statements such as "those who have drawn benefit from my hardships wield considerable influence over my situation" would be a great place to start in terms of actually doing The Work. You could even break it into a smaller statement such as "People draw benefit from my hardships." Doing The Work to find out if that statement is actually true. In order to find that out, you would have to do some investigation -do The Work!- and as Katie says sit with it and not feel the need to answer right away from the same space you are used to answering from.
Sending all positive thoughts to you on your personal healing journey. ~ Cory
Interesting. I have heard of Katie's work but never pursued it. For me, I found a practice developed by source channel David Strickel calls TYA: Trust Your Abundance. The essence of the mindset practice includes a similar idea, freeing ourselves from our self limiting beliefs that keep our vibration low, which manifests the same victim-type of scenario over the course of our lives until we "detune" the person or situation and trigger that takes control of our sanity. The TYA practice has helped me continue to dismantle the depression, oppression, and deeply engrained victim-vibe in which I have been immersed literally since birth. Isn't it amazing, the power of our thoughts and intentions?!?! Thank you for bringing this to mind and sharing your experience with this work. Thank you for writing and caring. xo
Brilliant!

Yes it sounds similar. I think we, or I, tend to forget that perspective is so much. I live out of what I perceive to be true. XO
