Season 10 Episode 16
Beloved Hoffman teacher and coach, Corey Campbell, had no thought of becoming a Hoffman teacher when he arrived for his week at the Process. Rather, he came because he was exhausted and didn’t know why. He hoped to find something that would help him change his approach to life.
Often, people believe that if they have good parents and/or a happy childhood, there is nothing to be gained from looking at their parents’ or caregivers’ behaviors. But Corey’s story is a beautiful example of that not being true. When he came, Corey was sure most of the patterns he needed to release didn’t come from his mother. It turns out that the exhaustion he was experiencing from serving others could be directly traced to his mother’s patterns. Often, even ‘good’ behavior is driven by unconscious needs not being met. What matters is what’s driving the behavior. When driven by patterns, we will attempt to meet that need in a way that doesn’t work.
At the Process, Corey saw through the patterns and opened to deep Presence. Lying in the cold creek water, staring up at the sunlight through the trees, he had a moment of realization. Corey realized that he is enough just as he is. This pure clarity has changed his approach to life. He now understands that loving and caring for his wife and son, Cayden, is enough. If he does other things in his life, great. But he no longer lets his patterns convince him he needs to be more because he is enough. (Listen in to hear why Corey was lying in the cold water!)
We hope you enjoy this insightful and loving conversation with Corey and Sadie.
