Abstract
This paper draws upon my own lived experience as well as the work of Joseph Campbell to articulate a way of understanding the human journey. It provides an autoethnographic account of my experience with attachment, somatic work and the practice of self-compassion to articulate my process of awaking to my deep inner wisdom. By sharing my narrative of becoming, and linking it to the collective human experience, I hope to orient clients to the teacher within their own bodies, and offer a compassionate hand to guide them home.
