When children’s emotions are ignored or shut down, they have no understanding of how to express their feelings in a safe and appropriate way.

There is another kind of trauma. I'm talking about the internal experience, not the external event, which is called developmental trauma. And developmental trauma is where the child's emotions don't have a safe relational container.

Infants, young children, they need the attuned reflection of the adult, of the parent, to validate their emotions, to validate their experience. When the parents can't do that, without in any way being abusive, that child has to limit themselves, and their expression of themselves. So they will also be defended against their vulnerability.

Let’s talk about Locus of Control

Acting on what you have the power to control and accepting what is either currently or permanently outside of your control is so empowering.

Stop trying to force what you cannot control. Concentrate on what is within your power to control. What you can change and see how effortlessly things can move for you.

This is what is key to protecting your mental health, it’s in your hands, take action to achieve a life where you are in the driver’s seat 💛

I’m in love with Esther Perel, an amazingly insightful and brilliant psychotherapist.
She speaks so much truth about relationships, love catching her YouTube material…. and this absolutely resonated:

“Within relationships, one person is always more fearful of losing the other person while the other person is always more fearful of losing themselves”

Esther Perel 🙏🏻

Thinking about a very public display of letting your “emotions get the better of you” with Will Smith’s actions on Oscar night.

No one defends Chris Rock’s poor excuse for ‘humour’ but violence is violence and Will Smith was 100% in the wrong for his reaction.

You get to choose your behaviour, you can respond or react.

Will Smith chose to react…badly …and he has now denied himself and his wife the legitimate opportunity to be affronted by what was an offensive “joke” by Chris Rock.

Instead of using the opportunity to respond as an appropriate grown up, in a way that would have led to him being admired for his defence of his wife, he has now made Chris Rock the affronted one and he, a perpetrator.

So true.. do we love another so as to receive? Or do we love another so as to give? Is love a gift or an expectation?
Love motivations… something to ponder ..
