How to heal your 'inner healer's' fear of judgement and rejection so you can share your gifts authentically

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole explores the juicy topic of one of the most common fears of becoming a healer, teacher or guide: the fear of ‘judgement’ and ‘rejection - and how to heal it so you can share your gifts authentically.  She explores the Archetypal Remedy that you can harness to begin to unconditionally love and approve of yourself enough to not need approval, sharing a vulnerable story about her own experience of rejection and how going *into* the experience of rejection helped her heal her fear. 

 

In this episode we explore the 3 stages of reclamation of our wild, authentic, true expression, why it’s important for healers that we are authentic, the signs we are being called to heal our fear of judgement and rejection - and the most important things to do as a beginning step into this self-healing.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

• The common fear of being a healer and being ‘judged’ and ‘rejected’ is part of the Witch Wound, which makes sense due to epigenetics and how we feel this fear ingrained in our bodies

• The challenge with healing our fear of ‘judgement’ and ‘rejection’ is that we have to experience it to fully liberate ourselves from it

• We can take small, tender steps into learning to heal our expression, rather than having to make big leaps - steps that have us expand with a well-tended nervous system

• The deep work of healing involves us learning to unconditionally love ourselves, harnessing Archetypal Mama She-Wolf’s (or Lupa’s) self-motherly energy.  When we love ourselves deeply enough, others rejecting us can’t have the same impact

• There’s a swing between the poles of Good Girl and Rebel that is often needed as we begin to heal our fear of judgement and rejection - and claim our true ‘wildness’ - but the real alchemy is in the ‘third way’; the way of learning to be our true, authentic selves, from love and vulnerability - baring our souls as the medicine they are.
