How beautiful would it be if we said to people we loved: “I’m not feeling like my best self today, can you remind me of who I am?” And that person said a few reasons why they appreciate you, for you. Appreciation and connection heal us.

If you grew up walking on eggshells, someone walking into a room, a door slamming, or someone raising their voice can send your entire body into fight or flight. The body remembers, even when the mind can't recall.

In dysfunctional families siblings can be: competitive, emotionally abusive, or controlling.

HERE'S WHY:

Healing isn't always a linear process. There are times when you take two steps forward and three steps back, or vice versa. It's okay to be where you're at right now, just keep going.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

I’ve found that people get hooked on endlessly intellectualizing their emotional patterns as a way to avoid doing anything about them. The problem is that intellectual understanding can give a sense of progress & change without progress or change actually occurring.

If we grew up in a chaotic, unpredictable, or unstable environment, we confuse excitement for intimacy.

Here's why:

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

The silent treatment is a normalized form of emotional abuse. Part of maturing is learning how to communicate, rather than using silence as punishment.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Part of maturing emotionally is knowing who and what is worth your time.

Abandonment trauma will have us seeking relationships from anyone who shows us surface level attention and trying to keep relationships with people who actively hurt us. Loss becomes our greatest fear.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Relationships won’t rescue you or save you from life as you know it: they’ll reveal who you actually are. Pay attention.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

You might not always *feel* good in a safe relationship. You will be challenged. You will feel discomfort. But a safe partner doesn’t weaponize your emotions or shame you for having them.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Being trauma aware can change the way you relate to yourself, and create healthier relationships in your life.

Here's how to practice trauma awareness:

Introverts are explorers of human behavior. And they observe everything. Your Actions. Your reactions. Your patterns. How you think. What you think. And the biology & psychology of why you think the way you think. They may seem quiet. But trust me they're Godzillas of observation

Take more pictures of yourself this year. Your anxiety is lying to you. You’re truly beautiful and all those insecurities are in your head.

[Inner Practitioner @MindTendencies2]

Trauma makes you feel like you have to be available for someone who is emotionally unavailable so you can feel worthy and they won't abandon you. Healing makes you realize your self-worth comes from within, not from others, and reciprocity is the key to healthy relationships.

Normalize not feeling bad for distancing yourself from anyone that didn't feel bad for hurting you.

Friends don't turn into enemies. Enemies stop pretending to be friends.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Authentic love doesn't always feel good. There will be conflict and challenges, stressful times, and hurt feelings. But there will also be the releasing of trauma, deeper levels of Self connection, and the freedom that can only come when love means evolution
