Guest: Karen Day
Karen shares her intimate journey of how she captivated love for herself, after a dire suicide attempt, and how this became her benchmark for the work she does now as a therapist herself, where she leads the role of guiding people through their ‘dark soul of the night’.
Karen talks about how she has worked her path so deeply and intuitively that she is no longer emotionally triggered as she thinks back vividly to such a dark time in her life. Karen expresses that she can feel all her feelings and still feel fully intact — because for her, integration has occurred, and she now has the capacity to talk about the painful experience, remain present in the here-and-now, and not be triggered. Karen unveils how this single experience, the attempt on her life, changed her and with openness towards metaphysical literature, and commitment to life above all else.
Karen’s message to listeners is to start with a spiritual practice if you don’t have one already even if you are not religious; learn to sit in silence and transcend your thought-based way of living; don’t waste a good crisis; whatever you do, don’t have tea with the monster; invite self-compassion in and really let it sink in.
