Hey folk, my name's Ed.

 

I've been listening to Steph's podcasts for a while and the content has been very insightful, mainly his relationship discussion podcasts and then becoming more intrigued on the range of other topics covered.

 

I'm still wrapping my head around some of the ideas here pertaining to my ability to restate them in my own words, so I'm probably not going to be abundant in assertions or statements for a while, though hopefully I'll be able to offer some here and there words/perspective.

 

Looking forward to chatting with you folk. :D

Welcome Ed!   :Welcome:

 

Do you care to share what type of insights you are finding from listening to the relationship/call-in shows?  

 

I know when I started listening that the call-in shows were the most immediately useful to me.  I would so often find aspects of the caller's issues that resonated with my own, often issues that I had not been able to clearly see beforehand.  The main insights I received at the beginning were ones that acted to break down the family of origin narrative that had been so deeply programmed into me.  The result of this was me being able to see my mother's responsibility for the many bad things that I had experienced as a child.  This started an amazing journey of self knowledge and healing for me, for which I am profoundly grateful.

 

I hope you are able to find what you need also.  I look forward to your participation in the community!

Thanks Kurtis,

 

The biggest thing I got from the relationship discussions was that it all revolved around honesty and how weak and undefined my understanding was to that. Prior my main gist of friends was multiple people with common interests pretty much using each other for blather and if the interests remained the same long enough you just became better comfortable in describing someone as an acquaintance, friend, close friend, ect like there was some kind of friendship point ticker that ran in the background. Didn't have too many good friends as a result.

 

The relationship call ins also made me realize how fortunate I was with a lot of factors with my upbringing. I got some issues here and there like everyone sure, but the openness and painful issues people brought forward really gave me some gist that I had a lot of good taken for granted, but these things being one of the "don't ever ask about X" topics growing up, folk always kept quiet about it. Steph's conversations was a big eye-opener in showing I had another enormous chunk of the world I had no idea about.

 

But yeah, cheers and good to meetcha!

Hey! I'm living in Clearwater now for school and would be interested in meeting with fellow freedom lovers. I'm studying Neurosomatic Therapy and always looking for people to treat for homework.
