Episode 0074 – Original Pain Work Revisited (Subscription)
Confronting Your Original Pain (Shadow Work): Original pain work is the most profound and challenging self-work you will ever undertake.
In this episode of It’s Not You; It’s Your Trauma, Joe Ryan delves into the abuse he experienced as a child and how he spent years disassociating from that pain through denial and repression. He shares how he packed away these traumatic experiences into a dark corner of his mind, intending to deal with them later. Decades later, Joe recounts how he has had to work his way back to those origins of pain, abuse, and fear to understand how he arrived at his current state. By confronting and correcting these deep-seated issues, Joe has been able to move forward.
