#262: How to Change Unwanted Patterns in Life and Love with Vienna Pharaon

Origin Healing

Vienna Pharaon introduces the concept of origin healing work, a transformative process aimed at addressing deep-seated emotional wounds. She emphasizes the importance of identifying, witnessing, grieving, and pivoting as crucial steps in this journey. "Our wounds are not out to harm us," she explains, "they're out to be healed" 1. This practice requires patience and repetition, as it involves shifting from a reactive state to one where healing takes precedence 2.

   

Trust & Safety

Trust and safety wounds are highlighted as significant barriers to emotional well-being. Vienna shares a poignant example of a man whose reckless financial behavior stemmed from unresolved safety issues in his childhood 3. She also discusses trust wounds, illustrating how betrayal can deeply affect one's ability to trust others. "Our systems are brilliant," she notes, "they will peek out and grab our attention" 4. By revisiting these wounds, individuals can begin to understand and heal them, paving the way for healthier relationships.

   

Witness & Grieve

Witnessing and grieving are essential components of healing past wounds. Vienna describes the process of witnessing as acknowledging the pain and loss experienced in the past, which is crucial for healing 5. Grieving, she explains, often follows naturally once the pain is witnessed, allowing individuals to process their emotions fully. "The moment you start to witness, the grief really starts to show up," she says, highlighting the interconnectedness of these steps 6. This practice helps in gradually resolving emotional wounds, leading to personal growth.
