SPFPP Episode 185: Resistance to Receiving - A Journey of Acceptance

The journey from resistance to receiving is tough. Think about how we look at what a herpes diagnosis has taken away from us without ever looking to see what it has given us. There's a natural rejection to what is undesired, followed by an inevitable need for acceptance to it. I interview a fellow Yogi who shares how he began to heal by accepting that his herpes diagnosis was a good thing for him.

Some interesting dialogue here brings up the point of challenging our reasons for only dating people who have herpes. When we give someone who isn’t knowingly positive for the virus the choice, why can’t we let it go after informing them. It’s also their decision and if they like us and wanna connect more, why can’t we let them? Do we minimize our humanity that much to where our value with the herpes virus weighs more than our identities we subscribe to?
