If you are on a spiritual path one of the trickiest things, particularly if you grew up with any sort of trauma or emotional unavailability, is to not fall into a pattern of spiritual bypassing. This is just because spiritual bypassing is everywhere, is often an answer for any kind of suffering or emotional pain in life, and is typically very well-intentioned. Spiritual bypassing is when spirituality is used to avoid difficult emotions. I believe that exploring these feelings is the doorway to healing deeper parts of you, greater authenticity, deeper connections with others, and more embodied spirituality.
