As human beings, much of our suffering comes from not accepting reality and trying to change the external circumstances of our lives before we’ve extracted their internal lessons. As Dr. Catherine Hayes, CPCC shares, “I’ve discovered that running from or ignoring what is rarely results in anything productive. In fact, it often means running in exactly the opposite direction from what your true, essential self actually wants, which is wholeness, integration, forgiveness, and peace. I firmly believe that when we commit to living in our truth, we are supported by the Universe.”
