As a psychotherapist and ordained metaphysician, I am often asked what I’ve learned and gathered in my own personal journey about the true self that might uplift another soul. As I share in my book, From Psychotherapy to Sacretherapy: “I learned that we discover and honour the true self by paying attention, clearing everything through our inner knowing and learning how to trust and respect its counsel . . . Honing in on our divine sensing and willingness to hear the sacred call. And in so doing, we come to know who we are . . . trusting the clues that we are heading in the right direction . . . Accepting that there is more to the self than our physical beingness . . . and allowing that inner nudging to prompt us into investigating the layers of what it means to be a soul-filled being . . . Acknowledging that this inner knowing is like an oracle with prophetic sight revealing the way, offering life-changing, dead-on guidance . . . back to the true self.”

For me, the true self-was discovered when I understood that the true self is the spirit within, which came into our body-temples to share something beautiful. And that beauty is greatly manifested through our strengths and talents, not just our most raw, vulnerable selves. I observed that many believe that the true self is only “authentic“ when one shares their deepest insecurities and weaknesses. That perception is fragmented when one believes that “authenticity” focuses only on the frailties of the human experience.
