Consider this your invitation to hear one woman’s journey with and through OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) to a greater realization of her own potential… and a very different way of living.
Stela Murrizi initiates a conversation with Randi White about the devastating impact on her life of decades of obsessive-compulsive behaviours; her discovery of a different place to stand when considering this challenge; and her realization that with a new perspective comes the potential for great joy in her life!
This conversation for me is a very revealing and relevant gift of hope… as Randi stated, a move from ‘prison to freedom’.
As one who hid her OCD behaviours as a young person into adulthood, I now realize that denying and avoiding the shame that fed those behaviours was actually the force that kept on replicating them.
Today, as I was present to this conversation, I had a different insight; during the process of my WEL-Systems® journey over the past 17 years, as I learned for myself that it was OK to face head-on into the discomfort of what I would have called shame, the hidden OCD behaviours have quietly integrated. Who knew?!
Once I owned for myself in my sixties that the essence of whom I AM rides in my body on the flow of my breath, my experience of life has embraced Joy as a cherished state of being, quietly, yet powerfully. I have so much appreciation and gratitude for the work, the life I now live.
Thank you, Randi and Stela, for an awesome and very moving conversation. Beautiful, indeed!
