A lot of people pretend to be something they're not because they fear that others will reject them if the knew the truth. That just leads to a whole bunch of people hiding their reality in order to be accepted by others who are also hiding their reality. It turns into a really elaborate and completely unnecessary charade. I think that lack of authenticity is rooted in lack of self-acceptance.

And healthy humility grounded in peace with self seems to have more strength than all the macho types in the world. Hi Urban Panther, Go Lion! I'm so glad he is there for you. A lot of folks don't know that post traumatic stress isn't just from having been in military war zones, it can come from stuff like this as well. My husband and I faced a lot of these "voices" and their triggers early in our marriage, but mine were woven around family perfectionism and his around worthiness issues. These issues tend to hide in the body, and when we face them, our bodies and emotions can take a roller coaster ride. Although I feel for you for undergoing that episode, I know it has cleared your path and vision immensely. It's nice to keep dropping that baggage behind us! Hi Jean,
