They Didn’t Mean it! Healing Childhood Wounds

February 22, 2017 by Mark Shepard

They Didn’t Mean it! Healing Childhood Wounds

Day 45 of the current 90 Day Transformational Challenge

Sound Healing Hypnosis Session (New Song Alert)

Song #537 “They Didn’t Mean It!” Healing Childhood Wounds (especially the self inflicted ones)


About this Song/Session:

I was in a conversation with my friend Robin who has been so kind as to help me beta test this new Sound Healing Hypnosis Format that has been unfolding during this 90 day transformation Challenge… and somehow it came up that my mother used to teasingly say to me, “You know Mark, You could be replaced by a St Bernard Dog”… She was being silly and sarcastic. She was actually expressing delight and admiration at my moxy for doing or saying or thinking something… but to me it felt like she was really thinking about trading me in for a dog… Little kids don’t understand sarcasm. They, like your unconscious mind, take EVERYTHING literally.

The big take away here for you is that at some point we all internalize these parental statements about us and our often negative interpretation of something that probably was never intended to be hurtful…. and by remembering it over and over again we literally program ourselves to behave in ways we think will solve that problem… in my case my problem of my mother replacing me with a St Bernard Dog…. It’s a really stupid thing to believe… But I was a kid and I didn’t know any better… Trust me on this you and I are a lot alike. and if I’m doing this and causing myself pain with it? Well you’re probably doing it too.

And if you STOPPED doing it… hurting yourself by believing shitty things about yourself because of what somebody said or didn’t say or did or didn’t do how many years ago? And yet we’re still fighting these old battles…

I used to think that my mother said to me, “Mark nobody wants to hear your music.” But when I really examined that memory, and put it into context what she said was said after my dad has insisted I play some songs for a couple who were having dinner over… what she really said was, “The Jones didn’t come here to spend the entire evening listening to Mark.” and it hurt my feelings because I wanted her to support me doing my music for a career and she just never would.  Blah, Blah, Blah…. we have all these fucking stories and dramas that we are carrying around all the time and constantly projecting out at other people.

So today. Just accept that you and I and everyone else on this planet spinning through space have stuff we have been telling ourselves for years that we need to stop telling ourselves and instead start just accepting and loving ourselves. Boom! When you really love yourself, you take really good care of your body. When you really love yourself you hang around people who treat you well. When you really love yourself you give yourself permission to do the stuff you most enjoy doing for work. When you really love yourself it’s easier to learn because you don’t have to get it right the first time. It’s alright to try different things and explore what really turns you on to life. Why not?

Let’s DO this thing cawled LIFE! Let’s really DO IT!

Thanks for stopping by,

– Mark
