The Sad Truth About Feeling Butterflies

In this teaching, we are dismantling the romanticized myth of "the butterflies." We explore how that intense, roller-coaster anxiety is often just a familiar echo of childhood instability, a pattern we subconsciously repeat because it feels like home, even when it’s hurting us.

We look at how to break these cycles by moving away from reactive intensity and toward higher values like peace and steadiness.
