Thank you Mark for allowing me to tell my story and to all who’ve taken the time to listen. Your kind words of encouragement are deeply touching and so appreciated! Very emotional right now ❤ I’m glad you found some value in what I’ve shared. I encourage you to keep going. My favorite Winston Churchill quote “if you’re going through hell, keep going!” Has helped me push through difficult moments so I don’t get stuck in the worst part of a challenge. Keep pushing through! Don’t set up camp! Believe you can do it and don’t give up until you’re on the other side of your challenge. Find something within worth investing in, something redeemable about yourself. Give yourself permission to begin allowing something better into your life. Begin with a better story- one of possibilities rather than limitations. I need to add that much of what I talked about I learned from people who have walked down their own difficult paths, learning from their own experiences and have shared what they’ve learned along the way. I quoted a few people w/o giving them credit so I’d like to say thank you now to those whose words have helped me most. Dr Joe Dispenza, Dr Wayne Dyer, Dr Huberman, Ram Dass and Tolle are a few of the many I’ve learned from and continue to learn from (all available on KZfaq) Thank you for helping me find my authentic self!

I’ll be 50 in December and I have lots of similar stories and experiences. Minus the alcohol and marriages. I am also the product of severe childhood and generational trauma. I have spent the last 5 years working with a brilliant psychologist and have been on a healing journey too. It’s a work in progress. It’s not finite. I picked her as an artist before she even mentioned that. What a beautiful woman, she has obviously done lots of difficult soul searching and has been through so much. “Courage is being afraid and still doing the hard thing.” I wish her so much love, strength, healing and peace.

Love to you! Chronic pain can make us weary and bitter. However, it can also make us kind and loving. Children come into the world and experience the pain that we, as adults, believe is so debilitating. We are just gosh darn wimpy....but if asked, I'll swear to God you are in the worst pain that I have ever seen. I will declare to it, stand by it, and challenge anyone who believes you should endure. I just can't understand why a 70-year-old man doesn't qualify for high-grade, government-paid for pain medicine. I have worked for 40 years so that you can have legitimate comfort. Love to Mark, but I really want you to be okay too.

I am close to her age (probably older) and people didn't seek help like they do now, nor did they know as much about mental health. So now there's a lot of traumatized people and we're passing our trauma on to our kids. In my parents' case, they did the best they knew how and so did I. I just wish I knew then what I knew now.

To be honest, a few days ago I actually felt like I needed a break from SWU. I've been watching every day for a long time, 1,5 year maybe. The addicts stories are very hard for me to watch. Some of them stick with me for days. I believe it was during the weekend when Mark released an interview with this 39 year old prostitute from Thailand. Watching that video broke my heart. I know I'll be thinking about her for a very, very long time. Maybe I'm different than you. Because to me not many of these interviews are inspirational. Yesterday's interview with Pretty who was a recovering Fentanyl addict, was inspirational! Also, I love Frenchie's interviews, she's so great. I love her mindset! And this woman's story gives me hope and I admire her. I'm not trying to be rude or argue. I ask because I find it interesting. Which interviews do you talk about? I just wonderer if I'm to pessimistic to see that there's inspiration in other interviews as well. I'm struggling with depression so that kind of are colouring everything. Or it takes away the colouring is actually more correct because most things become grey and that's sad. I'd love to see all the colours. Maybe you see more colours than me. Or it may be the definition of inspirational, maybe my interpretation is different than yours. I'm sorry for rambling on. I just find these things very interesting.

Pure gold!!! Christine you are a brave and capable woman. Thank you for sharing your story of hope and resiliency in spite of the trauma. Generational trauma does not have to continue if we are brave enough to face our fears and create our own story. We have agency as adults, but if we are stuck in the trauma our inner child is in charge. Our focus turns to comforting the traumatized child, loving them, and thanking them for protecting us at that time. The maladaptive coping mechanisms like dissociation and compartmentalization kept us safe, but as adults those tools are not sufficient. We need to show up as adults with appropriate tools to communicate and to love. You start by loving yourself first. Christine is a living example of this! All of the people you work with are so blessed to have your knowledge, experience, and candor. Be the change you want to see! 🎉🙏❤️‍🩹

The reason she doesn’t talk about the details is because then we would find out the truth about her. She’s had how many marriages now? ALL the men are baddies. LOL! Typical modern American woman. Totally selfish, blames everybody for their problems (especially men) ends up living with a cat and taking in strangers to pretend they now can help others. Notice that she never is the victimizer in any of her stories. Women are just as, if not more, emotionally abusive than men, yet most of them have no clue that it’s even possible as they have been raised in a matriarchal western society and that they themselves are doing the very thing that they are accusing others of. Men are waking up, hopefully women will eventually do the same so we can improve society. It takes two to tango ladies.

@@ToolFan68 well, growing up in a family where a 6-year old is sipping cocktails, it's not surprising she'd have a series of bad relationships. It's not that all men are bad and she doesn't say that. But it's likely she attracts a certain type of men and she says that too. It happens all the time people go from one bad relationship to the next bad one. Seems she has discovered she is better off on her own because she is not able to be in a stable relationship. She can still help others. Many people who are in toxic relationships are not wise enough to leave them and perhaps consider no relationship is a better option.

I sometimes feel shame when I realize how old I am and that I am just acknowledging so much… I also have several autoimmune diseases and had breast cancer. Physical pain management is what I do all day … every day within my limitations. It can be overwhelming at times if I’m unable to get small respites where it’s not dominating my thoughts.

Yes, me. I am a triple negative breast cancer survivor. Thankfully, I was otherwise very healthy, other than emotional trauma. I am so happy she got through the cancer and figured out her trauma. I hope you are doing well too, Tina. Good luck to you.

Thank you so much Mark & Christine for doing this video, so inspiring. This is the second time I’ve heard someone reference the book “The Power of Now” on this channel. We’ve been listening to Eckhart Tolle for years and it has really made a positive difference in our lives. Christine, thanks for also sharing your NDE, these experiences can have a positive impact on the experiencer as well as others who hear about them. ❤

Christine, You hit on soooo many topics that I'd be surprised if just one person could not relate to a portion of what you covered. There were several for me but the big one I related to is your mother and the "scaredy-cat" personality. My mother was like that and still is to this day. She wasn't there for me at really important times of my life, but fortunately my father was and taught me valuable lessons on taking care of myself. He did go through a period of drinking after my mother left him and took his kids with her...thankfully he backed off drinking when he developed painful gout 15 years later. Thank you so much for your interview. I have listened twice so far but this is one of Mark's videos that I will listen to a few more times. You have made so much progress in your life towards self-actualization. Congrats! Your interview is EVERGREEN and will teach a lot of people at a young age how to avoid some pitfalls. 🥰💗💜

Dmt was my “near death expierence” which brought me back to who I truly am and made me realize my part in my own suffering. She is a beautiful soul and I absolutely loved this episode.

Its very difficult to open up about our TRAUMA that we may be going thru some people NEVER open up and thats why so many People turn to Drugs Alcohol Gambling ETC...whatever makes us feel better in the moment they cant look beyond " IN THE MOMENT" so to speak...there are the chosen few who do find solice in Therapy and they do heal its a long peocess but it can happen and go on to live Long happy Productive lives but so many cant get past NOT FEELING ANYTHING NOW!! so i pray whoever cannot see beyond THE MOMENT! and want to NOT FEEL anything i pray you find the inner Strength that you can FEEL AGAIN with Therapy and medicine if necessary i pray you find that and Heal inside and Out..Im sending Prayers and Healing Vibes To all who would like to receive them..GREAT INTERVIEW MARK!!..?❤❤❤🥰🤗

What a relatable story. It takes so much courage to put your story on a platform, but it’s so healing for you and for all your watchers as many of us can relate. While I listened and I self reflected on my childhood and the personalities that influenced my life and my ego. What I love about Christine’s journey was she understood the domino effect of generational trauma and how it only continues on untill a generation becomes aware of it. I think she did a beautiful job drawing out how one develops a personality- which is no more than a coping mechanism from our childhood upbringing, experiences, and traumas we have endured. Once we understand that we are able to look at our selves objectively and help heal our selves. Christine thank you for inspiring us all!

You are a beautiful being of light and soul, and your light shines so bright it warmed my soul. I just wanted you to know that your words have touched me today very much so.
