Accepting this is a lot easier than trying to understand it. Because what if the truth is that we are in the midst of a cognitive evolution, a 10,000 year process and the scales just haven’t tipped yet in the favor of evolution? I do believe we are closer than not ….I hope we are ’cause my research is just a feeling I have.

When words, such as ‘boundaries’ get overused and misused, a part of me really wants to stop using it. However, I feel differently with this word. We need to be correcting people’s understanding of it because it devalues what it really is and the amount of attention a crossed boundary might require. It is so important that we raise our children to have and respect boundaries. Boundaries aren’t ultimatums or threats, and shouldn’t invite activation as they have nothing to do with anyone but ourselves.

A part of what therapy can be is learning all the ways in which our bodies and brains operate as it pertains to mental wellbeing - really what we should have all been taught in early elementary school when our brains were primarily focussed on Self. Information is power and when we understand our own unique mechanisms of relational operations, light bulbs go off and the path to change suddenly doesn’t feel so long. There isn’t a soul on this planet who wouldn’t benefit from learning about themselves and there isn’t a soul on this planet who knows all they need to know already. Give yourself the gift of therapy because you deserve it.

I really am going to have a very long, on-going conversation with myself about this. My Imposter Syndrome is an oversensitive personification of my righteous moral compass Part. When someone asks me for something that I didn’t anticipate them needing, this Imposter part is there so fast telling me what a fraud I am - Grateful my Wisest Self can often check the Imposter Part fast (trauma therapy works). My less evolved Conscience, in this situation, would have fawned and apologized as though the relationship depends on it. OMG is this all bu****it?

Many of us had caretakers who didn’t have tolerance for, or patience with our feelings and needs as we developed through our little years. We were shushed and stilled in every way and didn’t get the practice needed to create confidence in ourselves. We learned to stay small. Well guess what, we all need to be noticed in the world, we all need to know we can have an impact. One way we learn to fill those needs is with the space to be authentically ourselves. Find that space and take it, being born entitles us to it, regardless of the messaging we received way back when, and our Wisest Selves know this.

Imagine being off the anxiety hamster wheel that prevents you from moving forward. Imagine hopping off and walking straight forward into an exciting space. What does that space look like? Isn’t this a better use of our imaginations than to use them on things that are very unlikely to happen? Anxiety hijacks our Imaginations.

It can be such a place of stuckness when one member of a twosome insists on an apology to move forward and the other member feels as though an apology is owning ill intention. Let's start with something we can agree on, something we participated in occurred and it affected us. It does suck when there are unintended consequences to our actions AND we still have to own the impact whether intentional or not, that's adulting. Is it easy? Not always. Can we tolerate it? Absolutely.

I have so many peers being tortured by their teenagers and STILL a part of me, a very loud part, is positive that will not be happening in my house...lol this part is ridiculous...it's coming for me.

Our inability to acknowledge our own cognitive dissonance so that we can justify avoiding acceptance is a real human skill, self-protective as f**k. Appreciate the part of you that will protect you to not end AND find your Wisest Self to remind all your parts that you can tolerate whatever meaning you are making of acceptance, you are built to adapt and you are capable of surviving all the feelings that come with it.
