The Seekers Exhaustion
Innocently, we outsource our wholeness and well-being. We believe the answers are ‘out there’, we just need to find it. We can become over informed and under healed. The tools we gain through valuable modalities and psychology models serve to equip us for resilience and managing symptoms that have previously de-railed us. These are life-lines for the sufferer.
Sometimes we can become saturated. Our effort-ing, continual striving and perpetual sense of unease and over-identification of being broken drives us deeper into the next promise of healing and hope for emotional freedom.
Some symptoms of this fatigue include:
Over-analysis
Identity built around healing
Cognitive exhaustion
Diminished sense of hope
The breakthrough often comes after this collapse of effort.
There comes a point in our journey where we must stop looking outside of ourselves. Not because these valuable resources have nothing to offer, but because nothing outside us can give what we most long for.
This is where we learn we can trust ourselves at the deepest level. There are many terms used for this.
Integration ~ “It’s not that everything is fixed - it’s that I am no longer fighting myself”
Post-Traumatic Growth ~ “I know who I am, and I can meet life from here”
Self-Authorship ~ “I take responsibility for my experience - without blaming myself”
Restoration of Agency ~ “I can pause” - “I can choose” - “I’m not at the mercy of my mind or body anymore.
Psychological Coherence ~ This often appears suddenly - as a click, not a gradual improvement. (This is what the principles of the Agape Bloom did for me, personally, and what I share with you. Author and fellow sojourner - Leeanne Meikle)
Whatever we may call this point - The Agape Bloom integrates this seamlessly through the lens of self-compassion (unconditional love (Agape) and immoveable truth.)
It is uncomplicated, and as we intuitively know, simplicity is a call to return to what has always been present beneath the chaos and mental noise.
Much Agape
