You Are Not Broken By Barbra White
A “Core Teacher” in your life can be an emotion, self-sabotaging pattern, or life issue, even one that you’ve faced many times. In your personal growth, when you bump up against a Core Teacher, you may hear yourself thinking thoughts like: “I want to die” or “I am broken” or “This is hopeless.” Do NOT believe these thoughts!
Here’s why you should not believe those thoughts: we are here on this planet to grow. In Nature, what does not grow… dies. Humans are no different from Nature. If we’re not unfolding into more wisdom, love, and awareness, we WILL feel dead inside. The diagnosis, addiction, or self-sabotaging pattern is a starting point…not the end.

Choosing growth opens your mind to new possibilities and awakens courage. As you choose to see everything in your life as an opportunity to cultivate empowering qualities within, you will feel on purpose.
After over 20 years of working with people on their personal growth journeys, I can tell you without a doubt EVERYONE has a “Core Teacher.” Everyone has something inside that is really hard to face and embrace.
A Core Teacher can feel like an overwhelming tidal wave that you must solve this instant! In other words, it often feels like life and death.
You can ride the tidal wave if you remember three principals:

3. Shame has no transformational value. If you’ve already faced this Core Teacher before, you have not failed. So, you can stop beating yourself up! Facing the same issue does not mean you’ve done anything wrong. Every time you re-visit and learn something, you become the next best version of yourself.

As you continually re-choose self-love in the face of your Core Teacher, there is an Order, Grace, or Intelligence that works on your behalf. You do not have to figure it all out.
Most Core Teachers are also ancestral. Your family likely has a history of the issue you are facing. For example, a lot of people come to me for help healing family of origin and childhood wounds and patterns. The high truth is that your Soul picked this family so that you can grow and unfold to the utmost. Believe it or not, your family is not a punishment. Worry, sexual trauma, addiction, people-pleasing or explosive anger, etc. can be passed on genetically.
This issue is NOT your fault.
However, it is your respond-ability to break the chain of pain! Three steps to take while facing your Core Teacher:
1. Educate yourself.
For example, if your Core Teacher is: People-pleasing—study boundaries and self-advocacy.
