Sometimes we forget.
We are on autopilot for so long, we don’t even notice.
As family or friends, we stop asking meaningful questions.
“How are you?”
“Fine.”
Fine is not even an emotion!
Then our kids learn this unintentional but disconnected way and becomes their norm too.
Relationships can feel dangerous, unsafe and untrusting, especially with how the world has unfolded over the last few years.
Keeping people distant, staying quiet, suppressing the real feelings and emotions might feel more safe, “it’s better that way”.
Except it all catches up.
We are biologically wired for connection.
Meaningful relationships, the ones that ask those hard questions, the people that see you beyond what is in front of them…those safe, trusting and reliable relationships are important for survival.
We don’t need many, just a few, to help us through those dark times and share our celebrations.
Let us experience these relationships and let’s model this for our kids. Be that attuned friend or family member that feels comfortable going deeper.
Somatic therapy with IFS can be the work that makes all the difference.
