This one has been very meaningful for me personally. I grew up with very controlling parents and my relationship with them has always been difficult. Even as an adult, I think it is easy to underestimate how much the patterns we develop with our parents can continue to affect us long after we become independent.
Since using this field, I have noticed that separating myself emotionally from those old patterns has become considerably easier. There is less of that feeling of being pulled back into old roles, expectations, guilt or obligation. I feel more comfortable recognizing that I am allowed to make my own decisions and live my own life without needing their approval.
What I particularly appreciate is that this hasn’t felt like becoming colder or more resentful toward my parents. If anything, it feels more like creating a healthy emotional distance and seeing the relationship more clearly, without being as entangled in it.
I’ve done quite a bit of work on this part of myself already, so I was actually surprised by how much this field still brought to the surface and helped me process. For anyone who grew up in a controlling or enmeshed family environment, this can be a very interesting field to work with.
Thank you Maitreya for creating something addressing an issue that I think affects many more people than we realize.
