Do you have the courage to be honest with yourself and others even when it’s hard?
Integrity – it's not just about returning that extra fiver you found in your change. In this episode of Inner Bonding, Dr. Margaret Paul and Dr. Erika Copic explore the concept of emotional integrity, a blend of honesty and compassion for oneself and others. Imagine having the courage to face your deepest secrets, the bits of yourself you'd rather sweep under the rug. It's a tough gig, but essential for true healing. Dr.
Margaret shares stories that resonate with anyone who's ever looked in the mirror and thought, 'I'm not going to be like them'. Yet, facing those parts of ourselves that mirror our parents can be a crucial step towards healing. Take Marcus, for instance – a massage therapist grappling with inappropriate behaviour towards clients. Through his journey with Dr. Margaret, Marcus confronts his inner demons and learns to embrace the wounded child within.
It's a raw and eye-opening tale of self-discovery, illustrating how denial can prevent us from living in integrity. Dr. Margaret also highlights the importance of tuning into our feelings as guides to discern truth from lies. It's about recognising the heart's openness when we're aligned with our higher selves versus the tightness when we're not. With anecdotes and gentle humour, she invites you to reflect on your own emotional integrity and consider whether you're living in truth. Why listen?
Because understanding emotional integrity can transform your relationships and how you view yourself. It's about finding the courage to be honest even when it's hard, and learning to love yourself through life's challenges. So, are you ready to face your truth?
