The Secrecy Trap
Soul Empowerment Episode # 22
We all have secrets—things we don’t want to share with the rest of the world. But a big problem with secrecy is that it tends to feed on itself. We start out thinking that one particular thing is really private and we don’t want to share it—and possibly with good reason. But then, later on in our life, something else happens and we create a story in our mind that this needs to be withheld as well. It doesn’t really matter what the subject matter is; we may simply feel some shame about it, so we choose to keep it close to our chest.
This kind of secrecy—often based on our feelings of shame—leads us to hide more and more about ourselves, until we are virtually invisible to the rest of the world! Not a pretty picture!
This cycle of secrets can (and often does) lead us into a self-imposed trap of not being open, honest and authentic in our lives and in our relationships. In this episode of Soul Empowerment, we take a deep look at this subject. We answer questions like:
- How do we deal with the internal shame that leads us to hold so much in secrecy?
- How do we heal ourselves and find freedom from our self-imposed secrecy traps?
- What can we do about this and release the old and cultivate new spaces where our true light can shine bright?
Check out the video recording as we open the door and shine light on this common issue of the Secrecy Trap.
- Gain understanding about the hidden aspects of self-imposed secrets.
- Learn practical ways of defusing the power of secrets in your life and releasing yourself from the trap.
- Learn new ways to become open, honest and authentic.
