Our
Favorite Quotes from Brooke Dooley and Erahm
Christopher
Everyone seems to be in pain, and no one is listening.
How do we heal?
Listen: To pay attention to. When you truly begin to
listen, you begin to discover that everyone lives a life of pain.
~Erahm
The
process of working on these project is so rewarding. It's very
therapeutic for myself. There is therapy in the process...if you
let it be. ~Brooke
It
helped me get in touch with my emotional side [and] what pain I
have in my life. With different types of trauma we can detach
ourselves and go into autopilot. We want people think about how the
pain in their lives can be coped with. You don't have to
disassociate from it but you also don't have to let it take over.
~Erahm
A
very traumatic incident in my life prompted me to explore the
concepts in this work. It's interesting that it brought me back to
pain. ~Eraham
Everybody has their own definition of the word pain.
Most people go to the physical definition of pain and only some go
to the concept of emotional pain. The Great Ache is a universal
ache that we all experience. Your pain might be associated with
loss, my pain might be associated with a relationship, but this
Great Ache is something we all deal with. We are not alone in
dealing with pain. ~Eraham
I
found I was able to look at my emotional pain when my physical pain
became unbearable. ~Erik
People are afraid of the pain. ~Eraham
We
both realized the importance of creating content that provokes
people to see a different perspective of themselves and of others,
so they may have an ah-ha moment that will shift how they see
themselves, and how they see others. ~Eraham
We
are trying to provoke your ability to see the good inside of
themselves. ~Eraham
I
think the worst pain in any relationship of mine is when I don't
feel heard. ~Erik
When
you give someone the opportunity to be heard, it's amazing what
will change. ~Erahm
Trauma is what happens when you have a difficult
experience in your life without an having an empathetic witness.
~Lyn quoting Benjamin Hardy
I
grew up in an era where you needed to be strong and face the
bullies with strength, no tears. It was a man-culture thing. I
think this can be extremely unhealthy because you stuff these
things and they go underground and they manifest in other ways
constantly under your skin like an infection. ~Erik
In
2020, not being okay become okay. I hope we can hold onto this
lesson and remember that we are still human. ~Lyn
It's
so complex. Pain, vulnerability, trauma, mental illnesses, what
does it mean to be masculine and feminine is so complex. The more
that we talk about these words and not be afraid of sharing how we
feel is a key thing. ~Brooke
I
used to be afraid of sharing what I feel because I didn't want my
feelings to bother someone else. It's such a twisted way to think.
Everyone should have the freedom to be able to share how they feel
and not feel like they will be hurt, judged, attacked, or put in a
box...and then have someone on the other end to listen.
~Brooke
It's
very curious when we pay attention to our bodies and our triggers.
This is an important doorway to help us be aware of how we are
feeling. ~Brooke
