Contemplation isn’t only for introverts but it is one of the quiet gifts we offer to the world.

04/23/2021

Many have asked me what it means to experience or have toxic hope. Here's how I understand it from a parts perspective of multiplicity.
Hope lands on desperate parts that are holding pain so naturally, they cling to the hope. When a part that’s in pain clings to a hope that fails to happen, it can cause despair and turn hope into toxic hope. Toxic hope would be wishing for something that has proven not to be an option (usually because of the free will of another person).

Helping parts hold hope loosely with an open palm faced up instead of clenching it with a tight grip, allows hope to receive light, fresh air, and water which nurtures it to eventually blossom. This blossom often times doesn’t look the way that desperate part wants it to look but it turns into an unexpected gift nonetheless. If hope is not held loosely, it can’t receive light, air, and water (God’s nurture) and will turn toxic, growing slime and grime (shame and/or sometimes anger at God.)

We can pray for the parts of ourselves that are clinging to toxic hopes to help them grieve and let go of wishing for a better yesterday or a different tomorrow (wanting what we want the way we want it). Acceptance of what is- is a process of comforting the parts of us that hold the pain of disappointment, longings, and loss. God sends both Christ and the Holy Spirit to comfort our wounded hearts. Imagine Christ cradling the parts of you that hold pain and feel the 'with-ness' of His nearness.
