For any kiddos needing someone to talk to in Cleveland- Hannah Sexton does beautiful work with our local children/adolescents!

Our friends, our partners, our family, our sweet pets - to love is to be deeply vulnerable. And that’s as brave as it gets.

“Our culture teaches us to use self-criticism for motivation and to build self-esteem by constantly measuring ourselves against everyone else. We need to re-learn the essential skill of being genuinely nurturing and supportive toward ourselves." Kristin Neff, Self-Compassion Step by Step

Repost• .holistic.psychologist HOW TO STOP OVER-EXPLAINING:

1. Witness that you’re doing it. Over-explaining looks like giving long explanations for things you’re doing or not doing.

Ex: “I’m so sorry I ordered this sandwich without cheese. Is there any way you can take it back? Normally, I would eat it but recently I’ve been having a lot of stomach issues and just can’t chance it. So, if it’s not too much to ask, can you get me a new one. I’m sorry if it’s annoying. I get it I used to be a server.”

2. Once you witness this is a pattern, practice asking or stating something without proving an explanation. NOTE: THIS WILL FEEL AWKWARD! that’s ok. It will also increase your confidence with time.

Ex: “I’m swamped at work, so I can’t make it. Thank you for inviting me.”

3. Understand why you do it. We typically over-explain because we were raised in homes where we were responsible for adults emotions. So, if we have a need, we feel guilty and want to make the other person “feel better.” This guilt manifests as over-explaining. It’s important to begin to affirm your needs matter + that all healthy people have limits

Repost: Affirmation of the Day: I am safe. I am aligned. I am always getting better. I will not lose myself again. I release the need to please everyone; and I return that energy back to myself. I release the need to obsess over the future; and I appreciate what I adore about my reality. I am grateful. I am on my way to fulfilling my purpose. 🫶🏾🧡

🔸It’s is brave to do a thing that others conceptualize as scary.

🔸It is also brave to voice your needs and set boundaries, and push yourself when/where you are ready.

Repost: For example:
Distressed partner: “I can never get it right. I just feel like you’re never happy with me”

📌Now it’s good to notice that at the core of this issue is feelings of insecurity and fears of rejection or abandonment. It can be good simply validate how it feels to for them to ‘feel like’ they are a disappointment to the one person that they long to make happy. We need to approach with gentleness and empathy.

But if you want to encourage or build them up…

Instead of “you DO get a lot right and I love you”. You might try, “Hun, yesterday you gave me a hug when I came home frustrated from work and I needed that more than you know. It was the one thing that changed my day. I might not show it enough but you’re the one that makes me the happiest”

REPOST: Note: Infants are not truly capable of making the
decision not to cry. (They may have an involuntary
stress response though with repeated exposure to
extreme stress.) My intention with the first slide was to
be less factual and more anecdotal in helping to painta
picture of how a child might learn to slowly suppress
their authentic self.

This is a fictional depiction of *one* person’s story (that many can likely relate to, in different ways.)

It is not intended to be a prognosis. (A+B does not necessarily = C) Our parenting choices can have many possible outcomes in our children. This is only one of them.

And yes, many many parents feel irritated when their infants cry. I definitely did. And that’s okay.
As you’ll see in my next post, it’s not about not feeling annoyed but how we navigate it.
