041. Trauma, Pain, Empathy, and Compassion - Modern Mysticism with Michael

Show Notes

In Michael Massey's beautiful fourth appearance, Alessandra discusses a past trauma she recently accessed and painfully processed. We discuss the importance of sitting with each other in our pain. Michael explains that when processing trauma we are trading temporal pain for eternal gain, and how when we go through something painful we are helping others who will then not need to experience it. He offers suggestions for healers and empaths in self-care. He also talks about the difference between empathy and compassion, and that there can be an ability to master one's own empathy to expand and contract as needed. Michael offers a story about how stored traumas can lead to life scripts, and the authenticity which is gained with honesty about one's life journey. He suggests a beautiful practice for working with one's past and future self in meditation.
