One helped me survive
The other helped me remember who I am
I want to be clear: therapy helped me
I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s important to repeat.
Therapy gave me a place to start when the confusing grief was too big and the floor kept falling out from under me. It gave language to the abuse. Validation, witnessing, and relief—all very important!
My therapist told me I experienced:
“Chronic, egregious, manipulative abuse at the hands of your mother.”
I wrote that down right after she said it because I needed to hear those words and I didn’t want to forget them. I clung to them.
But therapy had limits. There were places it couldn’t go and layers it couldn’t reach.
So I went beyond the veil.
Demi described it like this: “I’m a huge proponent of therapy, I feel therapy helps people at levels that create a greater access to our soul. At the same time, there are constrictive aspects therapists cannot go outside of.
“Typically what is experienced in the type of work that you and I are doing is a soul communication versus a cognitive communication. When we’re talking about those layers [Source, soul, spirit, human as shown in the image below], we hold those layers within us as the human form.
“Therapy helps the outer human layer. When we dive into this level of work you and I are doing together, it impacts the spirit level which then reminds us of our soul level and eventually reminds us of the embodiment of God [Source] level we are, taking you beyond the human construct and bringing forward a deeper remembrance of your own truth. It then changes us at the cellular level. ”
Therapy helps the human layer.
What Demi and I did together during our channeling sessions was not about the human layer. It impacted the spirit level.
Not just talking about the wound, but connecting with the energy of it. Where it lives. How it shaped me. And, to receive the answers to the hard questions about WHY.
This was the difference I constantly craved!
Therapy worked with my thoughts, but channeling worked with my truth. Both are powerful.
Channeling enabled me to ask WHY and to get the real answers from my mother’s spirit without guesswork or cryptic answers.
And for someone like me who was raised in fear, silence, and survival, that was the only way I felt I could come back to life.
