I appreciate the work Aaron does here. I feel like I am closer to letting go of my past patterns and becoming more present day to day, minute to minute after being a person who always put everyone else first to looking after my soul. I have been stuck since my split with my ex in 2022 because I had been waiting for him to own up to his part of our demise, for five years, to get help and come back to me. But I was reminded, in this 4 days of lessons, that I cannot expect him to have grown the same way I have in these past five years. But I am willing to be present for him while he figures his stuff out, if he were to come back to me. And I want to add that I felt worse before I got better, in facing my future alone. I was so frozen in grief and fear for the longest time, about facing this chapterof my life, alone. But finally I think I am ready to step into the new me. To truly shift back into my old confident self again. And I will post a picture from 2022 when we first broke up to a picture from me now in mid 2026. I feel older but wiser. Thank you Aaron. I feel ready to shine again. I think I am more myself again after many years of self healing and your meditations and challenges. It took a lot to sink in. I will send a video testimony soon, as requested but I have no interest in AI Aaron I will wait to meet you for real one day.

I absolutely love the frame technique and learned it last year. It has helped me to look after myself when I am out and about and where I used to try to be nice to everyone, I now just focus on my breathing, and relaxing. I enjoy events more than I used to because I can be in my own frame. I also liked a lot of what you said about not trying to over please others and losing oneself in the process. I most likely, well definitely, tolerated way more then I should have in a bad relationship. Thinking I could fix the other person while losing myself in the process. But I know it's OK to feel anger and not just shame for being in an unhealthy relationship and allowing it. Nothing worse then people not believing what I went through or saying, why did you go out with that person? As if it was a fault or a mistake. I tried to love others and abandoned myself. But I am shifting into the confident person I used to be before I allowed it to happen. Life's lesson.

What I took away from the Mother Father dynamic is that as a child my parents were very different and when they separated I was very young and I wanted to be with both of them but couldn't. I felt left out because I was the third and youngest child and I started having to go to day care or be alone in a big house. My famiky never stopped treating me like the ' baby' in the family. Never allowing me to truly grow up. Without giving away too much personal stuff about my family I learned to become a person pleaser even before they separated to keep from beingvabused verbally by my siblings who seemed to have no rules about kindness taught to them. And with this somatic breathing technique I was about to feel connected to just myself again. To listen to my heart and individual needs. No longer needing validation from my siblings or my parents to be seen. That's a hard pattern to break. But I am getting there.

First I will start by saying I am a bit behind due to having a terrible cold and got a concussion and still healing from that. But as for Day 1 I really understood after tonight's lesson that I have been in the stuck mode now for a few years of learning and recognizing my patterns and being angry at my Mom sometimes but then forgiving the patterns I learned from having abuse step parents who tried to separate me from my real parents. I forgive her and am letting go of the friends and acquaintances who do nothing but use me to make themselves feel better by stepping all over me. Yet when they are doing well, I either don't hear from them or they brag about going to events we had planned to attend together. I actually blocked a couple of people, one person, I will call Ancy who loves to monopolize the conversation and say no to me about getting together everytime I suggest it. Then brags when she goes our with others. I am tired of hearing her complain and wanting my advice but then never making time for me as a friend. It's sad to end a long term relationship but when she admits using others it's clear she uses me too. I have another old friend I have known for 32 years who when I finally told her I was tired of being stood up or canceled on she tried to gaslight me saying I never stayed in touch while overseas, but I did, so I am done with that toxic relationship as well. I felt it was my responsibility to stay friends with these damaged people but they offer no or little support in my future and try to cut down my dreams or compliment me then show little respect for my time. I am allowed to set boundaries so I can feel less stress over their problems and instability. I will love them from afair but need space to heal from those patterns with them. It's sad when you realize when you must break up with a friend to make room for better friends and energy. I am ready to live beyond the old patterns.i have aware now now, for a couple of years but still stuck until this week just before I watched Aaron talk. I have been trying so hard to change at my core but I was in a codependent relationship with my ex for over 20 years. It's hard to learn to love oneself and put me first. But I am close. Very close. No more being in the loop of shame as Aaron put it. I don't think I have time try the AI because I need to watch the other 3 days before they go away. Thank you Aaron. You are the best. Sincerely, Elizabeth Kim

I'm on a flight to LA right now to go on a podcast this week and I'm curious and will touch on some of what I see in the content!
