There is a lot of division and disagreement in the world… here’s one small way to disagree more skillfully so we might actually be able to hear each other.

The research shows us that secure attachment does not require a rupture-free relationship. Focus on THIS instead. What’s your favorite way to repair?

Have you found yourself looping over the same thoughts and behaviors over and over?? This might be a missing puzzle piece if you’re an intellectualizer like me!

When we feel blamed, our brain’s safety alarm center, the amygdala, can get flooded and go into “fight-flight”, effectively suppressing some of the reasoning capacities of our prefrontal cortex (the part of the brain needed for word processing, understanding, logical thinking). The key to increasing the likelihood that your message will actually be heard and understood is creating a SAFE container for the hard conversation. Note: “safe” may still be uncomfortable *but tolerable and consensual* for both parties. This tool is unlikely to be useful in oppressive or abusive dynamics— that’s not a “communication” problem… that’s an abuse problem. Thoughts?

Hopefully this goes without saying but it works best when your immediate environment really IS safe. When there is danger… your instincts know what to do.

Be kind to yourselves today.

Codependent patterns say “If YOU could just do THIS, your life would look better! [But really a scared/traumatized/insecure etc. part of me needs you to change this thing so I can benefit/feel safer/get validation etc.].” Sound familiar? Codependency looks a lot like control but like so many survival strategies, it’s an attempt at creating safety. We may have learned that fawning or hyper-attuning to others kept us safe, and reenact patterns of trying to change others—often unconsciously at the expense of our own inner experience. We might even feel self righteous or superior like we know what’s best for others (I meannn sometimes maybe we do?? But that’s still not your life!!). Healing this pattern starts with curiosity and a commitment to stay in our own lane. We can only control ourselves and our own reactions. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is honor whatever choices other people make and protect yourself with healthy boundaries. Thoughts?

Spoiler alert: sometimes feeling unsafe and on-edge IS CONGRUENT. The world is not always a safe place. Here are some small ways to notice what safety MIGHT already be available… and then see what happens with your sense of confidence!

If your nervous system could use a little extra FREE support right now, I love the annual Trauma Super Conference as a resource. I’ll be speaking on Day 2 about gentle methods to heal from trauma and care for yourself amidst the chaos of life— the link will be posted in stories or comment LINK below if you need it!

Again it’s a FREE resource with incredible speakers including some of my favorite teachers! .orloff.md

People-pleasing is often an attempt at creating psychological safety, especially if we learned at a young age that conflict is dangerous (btw conflict is NOT necessarily synonymous with aggression or violence!). Reworking this pattern often requires both external skill-building around conflict deescalation/assertive communication skills and internal shifts in the way that you relate to the part of you that fears conflict. Thoughts?

I hear this one A LOT! And I have parts of me that sometimes still fear continued growth (ahem, especially the parts that cling to perfectionism /hardworking strategies!). This framework can help soften that fear. We don’t have to eradicate any parts of you; we RELATE to different parts of you, and help the challenging parts to come into more alignment. What if all you change this year is the way that you relate to your least favorite part of yourself? What would you shift? 🧐

Sometimes our bodies are more wise than we realize! Your physiology might be implicitly responding to stress it remembers from the past, especially if this time of year used to be commonly coupled with loss, grief, trauma, or dysfunctional family dynamics (instead of the light, joy, and gratitude that many of us think we *should* be feeling). Whatever your experience is, you’re not alone! One of the ways we can support the brain, is to first NAME our internal experience, and then NOTICE: in present day life, what’s similar to those past experiences… and what’s DIFFERENT? What new choices and agency might you have now that you didn’t have before? Lean into the options and resources you have now, and know that’s ok if your system doesn’t immediately jump for joy at the sound of Mariah Carey 😬❤️🎄

How do you tend to feel this time of year?? Drop an emoji below:
🎉= GREAT! Love the holiday season!
🎁= so-so; holiday tasks are stressful
🤍= in need of extra care (sending digital hugs!)

Sometimes more activation means our body is thawing out of freeze and trusting us with a bit more aliveness (aliveness that might feel scary and confusing at first!!). That anger that wasn’t safe to express before? It’s there. The grief you had to stuff down to get through the storm? It’s there too. We don’t have to feel all the things all at once, we can take it one day at a time. And try to lean on whatever supportive resources are available to you as your as body learns it’s safe enough now to handle what was too heavy before.
