Learning about my relationship with CHAOS.

Growing up, I felt responsible to fix the chaos that deeply disturbed people and caused disharmony. When I was 2 years old, a prime time in brain development/ attachments, chaos swept over the life of my primary caregiver. I identified with the responsibility to emotionally buffer and harmonize grief, chaps, and family conflict despite having no resources. As an adult, I find challenge and benefit in continuously questioning my role in the chaos of others, which easily becomes my internalized responsibility inappropriately. Admittedly, it seems chaos benefits from my presence harmonizing and organizing, however, if my presence is fruitless, or burns me out, I recognize this pattern as no longer constructive.

Here are the questions I’ll be pondering:

Where is the line between care and self-abandonment?

What part of this chaos actually belongs to me, and what part belongs to the other person?

Where do I stop, and where does the other person begin?

What responsibilities am I assuming that were never mine?

How do I know when I am crossing from compassion into over-functioning?

Which of my own needs get lost when someone else is in chaos?

What happens in my body when someone else is in chaos?

Do I move into fight, flight, freeze, or fawn?

Is my reaction based on the present moment or on a past wound?

What would my nervous system need to stay regulated in the presence of someone else’s turmoil?

Am I choosing to engage in this chaos, or am I being pulled in unconsciously?

What would it look like to stay present without getting pulled under?

What are the consequences of staying? What are the consequences of stepping back?

If I imagined myself with full agency, what boundaries would I set here?

What version of me participates in this chaos, and what version steps out?

Is this person’s chaos a pattern or an anomaly?

Does this relationship depend on instability?

When their chaos increases, does the relational balance change?

Are you needing an escape or are you needing to return home?

Home is sobering. Initially, hard to return to; to sink in to; to allow being held in. Home is comfort. It’s a release and surrender that is followed by clarity.

Escape is distracting; dizzying; chaos perpetuating. The short term effects of escape allow us to push through a bit more time. The long term effects of escape are suppressed emotions, dependence, numbness, and confusion.

Get clear on your desires.
Get clear on your long term goals.
Then, ask for home; to be held; to get still; to release and be in safety.

We do not evolve alone. Relationships shape us when we open to growth. We wake up together. We walk each other home. We are in connection with the universe around us.

🩷☺️🤗🥰Taught the last class of semester on loss, grief, and bereavement. As a professor with a background is social sciences research, I prefer to bathe in the research of whatever topics I’m teaching. I stretch myself to understand the most currently topics, as well as topics being sidelined in research. I read the data and the survey questions. Like any scientist or skeptic, I critique the way they ask questions and their choice in participants/ recruitment strategies. I go deep and broad and end up learning a lot. This is how I find satisfaction when I’m working these days. When the content is heavy ie. death or grief, I find bathing in these topics really penetrates my life. I willingly resign myself to be shaped by my learning while humbling myself and remaining open. Yes, this is painful, but it also feels valuable. I know that I value growth and deep learning so I choose this. NOW is time to rejuvenate, recharge, and mark papers.

Invite ing disconfirming spaces takes courage and can be incredibly disorienting and destabilizingzm. However l, they also help us to reorient ourselves to new perspectives providing greater insight and consciousness. Can you increase your capacity to see?

Heaviness; currently, life is heavy. The resilience toolkit that I’ve been cultivating is being used to its fullest potential and I’m still humbled and accepting the suggestions of my community osteo, naturopath, etc. I am considering sharing more by restarting the podcast or hosting more dialog and group events. This will come however, right now, life is breath to breath; moment to moment; and day to day. Wherever you are min life, I hope you trust the seasons and continue to nourish yourself in ways that keep you in the momentum of increasing capacity.
