If you were socialized as a woman you were told to put everyone else’s needs, including some random mom on the PTA you barely know’s needs, before your own 🤦🏻♀️…
Being selfish destroys the patriarchy ANDDDDD helps reconnect you even more strongly to your intuition…
Patriarchal neural pathways tell you:
-
-
- Don’t be lazy
- Be more productive
- Don’t be selfish
- She’s going to think you’re flaky
- He’s going to think you’re too much
- Don’t be a diva about it!!
- It’s too last minute to change your mind!!!!
- Do you really deserve it??
- WORKKK HARDERRR!!
-
And every single time someone socialized as a woman defies one of these thoughts, the partriarchy dies a little more.
Leaving the patriarchy is like leaving a cult, a lot of people are going to judge you and try to convince you to stay in…
They’re going to repeat your deepest fears to you, and convince you you’re doing it all wrong by putting your needs first.
And it’s like withdrawing from drugs, it doesn’t feel good at first.
At first you are mired in shame.
At first you don’t even enjoy telling the PTA to find someone else because you’re questioning whether a good mother would do such a thing.
You don’t enjoy the take out dinner because you’re beating yourself up for not doing the cheapest option of cooking at home.
But slowly you get through the withdrawal period and start to enjoy the little things more and more.
And I’ll be honest, I’ve been leaving the patriarchal cult for 10 years and there’s still days when I’m back in the pain of withdrawal…
But the air is cleaner out here. Come join us in the sunshine!!
And part of the purpose of the Feminist Somatics Certification is to bring feminist coaches, therapists and healers together to support each other leaving the patriarchal cult and to support their clients to leave it too.
