Your worth is inherent. Most people (who are not sociopaths) have parts of themselves that are self critical, these inner critics have a misguided yet positive intention to try and criticise you into being the best you can- so that you feel good and avoid external shaming. When all parts learn to trust your self-leadership and really embody their inherent worth, the critical parts can become cheerleaders, consultants or perhaps just take a well earned rest.

Key organisations from around the world have recently met in Portugal to discuss Sexual Rights and Sexual Justice.

Are you guilty of 'Invisible Arguing'?
It is what happens to people who have an avoidant attachment style. They want the other person to know they are upset- but they have a lot of trouble expressing emotions when they are upset or feeling anything strongly.
Learning to speak up with kindness is so important for healthy relationships.

Many people would rather ignore the trauma and challenges of their past. And if it is genuinely not impacting the present then that makes total sense.
But of course the past is usually having an impact in mysterious ways. It shows up in the ways we have learnt to adapt. We become people pleasers, over thinkers, our relationships are not as deep as we want them to be, or we feel totally fine but our partner is miserable and full of complaints.
When you are ready- I am here.

All of our parts have good intentions for us (however their impact in the world is not always positive). But their methods for helping us are often in opposition with other parts in our inner world. This is struggle is what causes us suffering.

We call these little moments 'glimmers', the opposite of triggers. When you experience one- taking a second to really let it soak in trains your mind to seek and notice more of them. A great life is made up of many tiny little moments.
