#16 - How to Surrender - Admitting Defeat v Staying Hopeful, Spiritual Bypassing & Psychological Utility

In this episode of Kat Unfiltered, after months of practicing surrender and watching the miracles unfold - I discuss how surrender is not admitting defeat - but the courage to bring your pains & desires to something higher than yourself. I do a deep dive into common pitfalls of surrender (for example - how some people use surrender as a form of spiritual bypassing to circumvent their feelings all together) as well as the psychological and spiritual utility of surrender. I refer to Jung's theory of the integrated personality and explore how surrender can help us merge the conscious with the unconscious. I leave you with a few practical tips for the practice and look forward to hearing how you cultivate surrender.
