Listen "How I Avoided Eternal Damnation"
Episode Synopsis
Join me in a rather embarrassing disclosure from my early days of innocence. It all began in seventh grade when Father Devine, my parish priest, gave the boys in my class an ominous admonition, one that altered my behavior for decades to follow. The problem wasn’t what Father Devine said, it was my misinterpretation that led to my problem.
All kids try to make sense of information that is often lacking or fragmented. Most of the time there is little fallout. Occasionally, like with my story, faulty interpretations can lead to self-doubt and unrealistic fear, stoking the flames of vulnerability and insecurity.
To a greater or lesser degree, some degree of insecurity is an unavoidable aspect of growing up in a challenging world. But the unfortunate truth is that the habits of insecurity aren’t something we simply outgrow. Velcro-like, they cling to us and accumulate throughout our lives, which is why, in this Self-Coaching episode, you’ll learn how to release yourself from the historic neurotic habits that have overrun your life, instigating emotional struggle.
