I recently acquired three books authored by yung pueblo, a New York Times Bestselling Author. After reading just a few pages of inward, I feel compelled to share how the words lifted off the page and spoke to me. This is likely to be an ongoing topic, Healing Insights, where I can provide my understanding and offer how the words of yung affect me and connect with the T3 Coaching Philosophy. Let’s get started!
“i spent so much time creating versions of myself that were far from the truth” | yung pueblo, inward
These words really hit home for me. For years, I felt trapped in an abusive relationship. Creating multiple ‘personas’ was a partial coping mechanism. Within the walls of my home, I was a timid, subservient person, who was in an almost constant state of unease. However, with three young children at home, I dedicated myself to shielding them from the anguish I was experiencing. Holding the role as the primary income provider, I projected a completely different persona in the workplace. Almost NO ONE could have imagined how the different versions of myself were struggling.
Upon reading the entire verse, I was brought to tears. I find myself deeply relating to these words; they reminded me of the courage I gathered to seek help and support from others to liberate both myself and my children. Today, I am grateful for beginning a healing process over twenty years ago. Healing continues daily, through the four fields of growth processes. The words of yung pueblo are powerful reminders that reaching out for support CAN make a difference. I created Transform To Transcend, for this purpose. I hope you find value in this Healing Insight.
Given the strong alignment of yung pueblo’s writings with the the T3 Coaching Philosophy, it’s clear his work will continue to provide more healing insights for me to share. The ability for us to truly cultivate a deeper relationship with ourselves, gives us the power to develop healing insights to share and connect with others.
“i spent so much time creating versions of myself that were far from the truth, characters I would perform depending on who was around
layers that could hide the inner dance of turmoil, between my lack of confidence, the pain i did not understand, and the uneasiness that comes with reaching out to others for the love that i was not giving myself (before the healing)” | yung pueblo, inward (pg 8)
