Repairing Ourselves from Harmful Cultural and Familial Messages

In the journey of self-repair, we often uncover messages from our past—those repeated so often by society and family alike that they seemed true. Yet many of these words placed unnecessary burdens on us, limiting who we are meant to be. “Boys don’t cry,” “Pull yourself up by your bootstraps,” “Know your place”—phrases like these, whether spoken by loved ones or reinforced by culture, may have shaped us, but they do not define us.
This month, set aside time to reflect on one or two of these messages that impacted you. Consider how they affected you, how you resisted or softened their influence. Come ready to share your story of overcoming as we work together to repair and reclaim our truest selves.
