Let’s look at guilt. It is the inward process of beating yourself up through harsh thoughts. Nobody can put a guilt trip on you but you because these are your thoughts. Some thoughts could be: I won’t make them happy or do what they want. They are going to dislike me or leave me. They are going to think I’m not a good person.
How do you go your way without the guilt?
Many people live with regret because they did what their parents wanted instead of what they want to do.
1. Why do you feel guilty?
2. How has this guilt shown up in my family before? When do you first remember this guilt?
3. What would be the one thing that the inner child would love to do, love to hear, and love to express?
4. What could you say to the family member to tell them about what you want to do instead of the ‘trip’ they think you should do?
5. Do you value yourself?
