Absolutely, not easy at all. But it’s absolutely possible. Some will have it easier than others no doubt, but these aren’t things to compare. As long as we are improving ourselves no one can say anything. Be the best you. It’s the journey and process of a lifetime.

As for the girl you mentioned, bless her soul. I do believe anything is possible but would never push her into it. I know some people with extreme complex PTSD and after several years of hard work, lots of tears and sadness, they’re stronger than ever. It’s entirely possible for someone like her to do so, and also entirely understandable that it’s monumentally difficult to do.

Regardless, I have high hopes for humanity in that our children or our childrens children will be able to grow in a world without insecurities and distortions of universal love. The inner work is something I truly believe humanity will get through one day.

That's great. It does not mean your experience is universal or that people should be shamed for being traumatized and not being able to "overcome" it.

Who said anyone was shamed? I’m saying the human body and mind is capable of more than we give it credit for. Going through this procedure doesn’t have to be the only option, others deserve to know it’s possible to do inner work and they can make their own choice if it’s for them to start or not. Any choice they make is acceptable. I’ve already acknowledged it’s not a simple easy thing to do, but it’s possible.
