Are your helping patterns really about helping others or helping you to feel better? Sometimes we “need to be needed” by others bc we’re afraid that if we’re not “helping”/worrying/over-functioning in some way, we’ll just get left behind. It’s an exhausting and resentment-fueling pattern! What would it be like to be radically honest about your own needs (and then maybe even practice a boundary to protect one of those needs)? 👀 Trust that other people can handle disappointment (and you can too!) if you stop hyper-attuning to them, and see who appreciates you just as you are, without all the overdoing it. What’s the hardest boundary you’ve ever had to set?

Disagreeing doesn’t have to mean fighting! A few phrases to use to invite collaboration and disarm the alarm center of the brain… what would you add?

Look I’m almost never the strongest person in the room, so this reminder particularly resonated with me. Not at the exclusion of size and strength, but THIS is the skill that we need more often than not. THIS is the world I wanna live in… how about you?

We have to learn how to DO conflict well if we’re ever going to create peace. Anger often gets a bad rap because we assume it will lead to violence. Does that happen? Yes. And sometimes anger is just anger. If we can feel the emotion without acting out a potentially harmful behavior (violence), we have so many more options and are way less likely to cause harm. Thoughts?

Edit: you CAN change your thoughts and you can have some control over them, however, the research shows most thoughts are random and ifs often more helpful to shift how we relate to our thoughts rather than analyzing every single one.

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!
