Avoiding Vulnerability Leads to Feeling Empty — Alyson and Tripp Lanier
Is our drive for more money, more status, or more stuff really just an attempt to fill a God-sized hole in our lives?
Do you ever feel awkward when expressing love to others?
And how does our need for safety block us from having satisfying relationships?
Today Alyson and I try to understand why love can be so challenging to receive. We discuss the ways we armor ourselves to avoid vulnerability and how we can still feel alone even when we’re with others.
In this conversation:
- Steve Hardison, The Ultimate Coach
- Fearing our light and wholeness
- Being afraid to express love
- Is the ego really the enemy?
- Why we push love away
Plus:
- How do we get emotional needs met without being vulnerable?
- What is the small self?
- What is the soul?
- Armoring ourselves to avoid vulnerability
- Christ consciousness, love, and forgiveness
