Relevant
I’m relevant and always have been!
When I went to my 40th high school reunion I was quite shocked that people who I thought had no idea who I was were saying my name, first and last, and saying “It’s so great to see you!”
It’s hard for me to admit, but most of them were people who I have no recollection of interacting with.
That doesn’t surprise me.
I don’t really have a lot of memory of my childhood and my teens because of the abuse I was experiencing.
I thought I had lived small.
I was in disbelief that anyone really knew me and so my suspicious survivor mind went to, “Well, they obviously saw me on Facebook…“
So when I mentioned Facebook to one guy who I have no recollection of ever talking to in high school, he said “I haven’t been on Facebook in years.“
Hmmm… “Well that’s interesting,” I thought.
“There must be some other place he’s seen me lately, I’m sure.”
But when the guy said “I always remember you having bangs,“ I knew I had no choice but to recognize that while I don’t remember a good part of my childhood, people certainly remembered me.
People knew me. Noticed me.
I thought that I played small, I thought that I hid from everyone, and worse, I thought I was nothing.
A nobody. Completely irrelevant.
But it turns out that I lived big enough back then for people to know my name, to have remembered me.
I was almost in tears thinking that I had lived big enough back then, I was relevant, and people really did care.
I can’t express how wonderful that feels. How it warms my heart.
Still, a part of me is sad that I can’t remember so much of the me of those days, but I know that the more I go through and take apart the old memories and clear out the negative, I know positive memories have a better chance of coming back.
I think that is one of the biggest rewards of doing the healing work I do through NLP in Hypnosis and EMERGE.
I’m helping my brain resolve and clear out the troublesome memories so the many good memories can surface.
I want those memories. I want to remember the laughter, silliness, joy I know I experienced back then!
And I am, little by little, things are coming to me.
And I feel like I’m getting a redo of my childhood.
What a beautiful place to be!
And my clients are experiencing the same thing.
They are releasing. They are losing that connection to what has kept them stuck. They are bringing back memories of their childhood where they thought that it was a childhood of misery and fear and all those negative things. Wherein fact they had a lot of happiness, they just had to remember it.
