Then, one
day you wake up and realize you are no longer
in the Glass Cave!
The Light is
SO bright, the sounds SO loud, the intensity of the new experience is
completely overwhelming your senses!
It is
hard to concentrate, to recognize and hear your thoughts, and ohhh the EMOTIONS
you are feeling…the pain, the anger, the shame, the guilt, all seem to drown
you.
A part of
you yearns to retreat to the familiar shadows and walls of the Glass Cave, yet
another part of you KNOWS that the Cave no longer is the right place for you to
live.
And retreat is not an option… The
Glass Cave has shattered.
This new
place you find yourself is completely unfamiliar and uncomfortable, and you have
no map to navigate from.
Perhaps you feel
like you have been dropped in the middle of a foreign city, not knowing the
language, the culture, with no sense of direction about where to go. This creates internal chaos, insecurity, and
you feel stuck, unsure how to get what you need. It’s hard to get your bearings without a
guide.
I see many
people in the Adoption Community who are struggling to find a way to live in
the Light, still driven in part
by the FOG, the Fear, Obligation and Guilt, as you try to navigate and
understand your own feelings, while also trying to make connections with your
Biological Families with the hope that you will find Peace and Wholeness in
that process. (Which unfortunately, many don’t)
Then there
is becoming aware of your Adoption Trauma, Abuses, or Unhealthy relationships
which all seem to comingle in the Adoption Constellation.
WOW!
It’s just Overwhelming!
Even if
you have a good relationship with Adoptive or Biological family, it can still
be challenging.
This Overwhelm
becomes your new Glass Cave and perhaps without knowing it, you feel so stuck
that you just resign that THIS is how you are going to live out the rest of
your life.
Still hoping and searching
for relief, for help with coping and managing this new existence.
I want you
to know, this doesn’t have to be your “new existence”. This is just an adjustment period, so you can
begin to get yourself grounded and begin building a New Foundation for your
life.
If you Keep Focused on Moving
Beyond Adoption, you will. Step by Step
along this Journey of Life as an Adopted Person. You are on a Journey to discover and create
Peace, Love, and Alignment with both the Physical and Spiritual / Energetic
aspects of you.
THAT is the WHOLE of who
you are.
Being Adopted is a part of
you, NOT the WHOLE you, and one that you are reframing into a smaller role.
