WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES when we go against our instincts? What are the consequences of not speaking out? What are the consequences of guilt, shame, and doubt?
Terry Tempest Williams' "When Women Were Birds" examines the profound effects of silencing one's inner voice and instincts. When individuals ignore their intuition, they risk losing connection with their true selves and their authenticity. Not speaking out can lead to feelings of powerlessness and regret, preventing the expression of vital truths and personal experiences.
The book also delves into the emotional turmoil caused by guilt, shame, and doubt. These feelings can be paralyzing, stifling creativity and preventing meaningful communication. Williams highlights that addressing these emotions is crucial for healing and reclaiming one's voice, emphasizing the importance of courage in speaking out and embracing one's instincts.
