Manage episode 422321880 series 3546765
This conversation explores the concept of truth and why we may turn away from truth. Is it because we don’t know how to deal with potential shame that may come up? Because we don’t know how to forgive ourselves or others? Or because we simply don’t know how to deal with the emotions that come up when we are truly with reality. This episode also touches on the lack of societal support in emotional processing and spiritual development. Emma shares personal experiences and insights on the transformative power of truth and barriers to embracing it.
