Children not loved for who they are do not learn how to love themselves. It’s a myth that you must love yourself before someone else can love you. We learn to love ourselves by being loved by others.

Our core beliefs about ourselves, belonging, and worthiness are shaped at the earliest age through our relationships with our caregivers. For people who experienced abuse and neglect and didn't have guidance, care, and support as children, it isn't easy to provide these things to themselves in adult age.

For some people, the first safe relationship in which they get to experience care, validation, and support is the one with their therapist. In this relationship, the old wounds are healed, and people learn to create safety and be there for themselves (regulate themselves).

Do you ever feel like you go from 0 to 100 in a moment? If that sounds like you, you might find this information helpful.

👉You might have heard, “take a moment and be with yourself,” but what does that mean?

👉Or “just pause and reflect on yourself,” but how do we do that?

👉Most people are not used to paying attention to how they feel, what they think, and how their behaviors are related to their inner states.

👉When we “explode” and say or do things we didn’t mean, there is usually a build-up of tension and emotions we were unaware of.

✅When we check in with ourselves regularly, we become more aware of the gradual accumulation of tension and can take care of our needs before the “explosions.”

UNHOOKING from our thoughts means separating from them, seeing them for what they are, and allowing them to be as they are. The technical name for this is “defusion” (short for “cognitive defusion”).

👉 When we feel anxious, sad, or angry, we just want that feeling to disappear. Or in the case of intrusive thoughts, we just want these thoughts to stop so we can move on with our day.

👉 However, we cannot control our thoughts and feelings. The more we battle and resist them, the more persistent they get.

👉 By learning the skills to unhook from them, difficult thoughts and feelings are still there, but they no longer control our behavior, and we can engage in activities that make our life full and meaningful.
