Back at place

The most satisfying thing in the world for me is putting things back in their place.Returning awe to the heart,and returning the roar to the throat.

That’s why my great love for guiding people who rise up against toxic relationships and abusive partnerships has already brought countless such stories into my clinic.

So let me tell you how it works.

There are very few people in the world who simply know that what harms them is harmful enough to resist. The vast majority of human beings were born into the web/spiderweb concept, the honey-trap that says, quite simply:It’s okay that you’re suffering.

That’s just how it is, and there’s nothing to be done.

Annoying, yes, and it burns the eyes. But it is very important to pass through that place in order to understand which part of humanity you’ve chosen to belong to:Those who wake up and eventually find the strength to learn how to roar,and those who will remain there forever.

And this is what makes the process of rising up so beautiful and inspiring, because it is not natural for us.

And so a sentence like “You don’t break up a family over this manages to become an effective stone around the neck of anyone who suffers and agonizes and doesn’t know where to find the strength to resist. So yes, the world is divided in two on this matter. And you have to choose.

And how do you choose?You train the muscle of our simple truth.

Yesterday we practiced an excellent mental exercise.

So let’s take “You don’t break up a family over this” and ask: If your husband trampled you while riding on a horse, would you get up and leave?If your wife spat in your face, would you find the strength to walk away?If they left you to die in a tunnel, would that be a reason to end the relationship?

And there you have it, you can start simply by shouting “shame,” by roaring it.

And half a million people, thanks to whom the hostages will return, chose an excellent side. They chose to restore the right to roar, a right that is a duty for anyone who wants to end a toxic relationship. And in return, they earned the ability to feel awe and emotion from knowing that they helped save lives.

So to all those whose ears burn at the sound of the roar, it’s okay. You’re only strengthening the roar of uprising.

Because no, there is no difference between a partner who spits on you and a prime minister or minister who spits. Rising up is beautiful.

And for anyone who wants to find the courage to rise up, I am here to be with you in it.
