My 02 cents. Disclaimer, I’m only on my 3rd listen of Genesis so far. The best way I can describe it, is it’s very very direct yet flexible. That’s just for me though, it could manifest different in others. What I’m trying to say is Genesis is just straight no bs. It’s like an internal mirror to looking deeper within yourself. I never got along with some of the other subs because deep down I couldn’t even tell who I was.
What would it look like if you abandon other people? How would that specifically show up?
I want to share something with you, maybe it’ll be common knowledge for you or maybe it’ll be a perspective shift. Those of us with attachment issues or trauma sometimes have a tendency to project how we feel onto others. I did this a lot and still do. Maybe your perceived abandonment of others is really just putting yourself first once you’re secure and making time to enjoy your life. Emotionally healthy people in relationships understand that, they have other friends, they have their own lives, they’re able to emotionally regulate or talk it out with you. It’s not all on you to keep these relationships together. And sometimes what we feel as a huge emotional wound or trigger with behaviors is like a pebble in the shoe to other people. You really can’t predict how people will react emotionally to things, sometimes we can really stunt our own growth by getting too deep in imaginative narratives that replays our own traumas.
I’m aware of how rough it’s been for you. It’s definitely not easy to reform relationship dynamics when you grew up with unhealthy ones. I think Genesis would be really good.
