There is so much beauty in your internal world. You’ve probably done a lot of work to make peace with them. Every part of you has come this far and maybe your not too happy with what these parts made you in the past. But they helped you by keeping you safe.

There are no bad parts to us, only parts that want to protect us. For example, that part of you who constantly lives in fear has a purpose. I know you may want to get rid of the feeling, but over time fear will resurface again, requiring your attention.

These parts of us that were shun away at a young age are designed to fulfill other roles in your life other than to hurt you. We have been trained to avoid, suppress, or escape from anything that brings pain. Maybe these parts of you do carry pain, and can feel confused about your actual age. Through connection, these parts of you are able to gain your trust and have a better understanding of how the self works.

I don’t think we speak often about how boundaries are an essential part of a healthy relationship. Boundaries improve emotional intimacy.

Why? Because boundaries creates personal ownership and responsibility in the relationship. Boundaries set the parameters for what makes you feel supported and most comfortable. You can create boundaries around alone time and time spent together.

You are allowed to say NO and honor your needs.

Weakened boundaries in relationships can look like:
•Agreeing with your partner when you actually disagree.
•You hide your true feelings.
•Decline something when you actually want it.
•You keep quiet when you don’t agree with something.

Here are some of the questions we discussed during the workshop. I hope you find these helpful.

Reminder that relating to some of these questions doesn’t set in stone your experience as a whole. This gives you a general idea that you might struggle with relationship anxiety.

Goodmorning everyone,

Let me reintroduce myself! I’m Alecxia an LPC. I help women who run from love create fulfilling relationships.

This past weekend I had my first workshop on how to Embrace Anxiety in Relationships. I couldn’t have done it without the help of Jesus the owner of Elotitos and my amazing friend Rosario

Jesus and I spoke about the importance of mental health and we are looking into having these conversations with the community of San Antonio more frequently. Mental Health conversations aren’t always meant to be kept in silence if anything these conversations should allow everyone to share and create genuine conversations in an effort to bring collective healing.

Let’s continue to have these “platicas y elote”. Stick around for more info later this month 💕

Oh boy! Let’s talk about anxiety in relationships.

Healthy relationships require work. Healthy doesn’t mean you won’t have a lot of ups and downs. Healthy means you are putting in the work to nurture and embrace your relationships in all aspects. Sometimes that includes supporting your partner in times of concern and doubt.

Will these times be easy? No, but embracing each other during times of difficulties can result in an unexpected outcome, maybe you learned something new about your partner or you’ve created a different meaning to a stressful situation.

Your partner experiencing anxiety isn’t their identity. Anxiety is something they are struggling with. Sometimes the anxiety they experience has nothing to do with what you’ve done or what you are doing.

Instead, you can start learning about your partners anxiety. Be curious. Be understanding and offer support the best way you can.

Why not always be lead by emotion?

Sometimes those feel good feelings can confuse genuine connection.

These are my thoughts about the healing process and what I’ve noticed in my own clients’ lives. Healing looks different for everyone.

Trauma is stored energy in the body which can translate to locked emotions in the body. Because you were in survival your body did not have the opportunity to process the emotions that came along with these traumatic experiences. Your body will continue to respond in the same way it would when you were faced with threat as a child.

This doesn’t mean you need to “feel your feelings” all the time. Actually that wouldn’t be a healthy thing to do.

But you can start my noticing. Noticing what comes up in your body when you are triggered.

What does emotional intimacy even look like?

When you fear emotional closeness, this makes it hard for you to truly create authentic and transparent relationships. Maybe there is fear in having the other person throw things at you from the past or a lack of trust.

Whatever the reason, you are deserving of emotional closeness. It’s possible for you to create a space where you and your person feel safe to share your biggest fears.

You can start of by creating a space for safety. Choose a specific day and time where both of you will talk about your relationship. Almost like a check-in. What can you ask?

1. Do you feel safe in our relationship?
2. What is one thing you valued about me this week?
3. What is one thing I can improve on?
4. Is there anything you feel like you are holding back because of fear?
5. What is one thing I can help you with this week?

Hey there hey 💓

Some things you should know about self-sabotage in relationships. Self-sabotage is a form of self-preservation. This means that it’s a defense mechanism that you developed to protect yourself from experiencing rejection or abandonment.

Maybe you set unrealistic expectations as a way of proving yourself right. For example, wanting your partner to know what you need all the time doesn’t mean they don’t care.

Whether your relationship is successful or not your beliefs and choice to protect yourself still go validated. The truth is that protecting yourself while in a relationship doesn’t allow for you to be vulnerable. It doesn’t allow you to share your thoughts, fears or doubts. Want a healthier relationship? Then this is for you…

The war in your body…

Your nervous system is constantly scanning your environment for danger. And your nervous system does a spectacular job at sensing when threat is near. But does this mean that your nervous system is always right?

The answer: NO. Your nervous system also warned you when you were in danger as a child. If you grew up in an unstable home then you will most likely react as you would when you were a child. Thank you so much, Nervous System. Yes, so if you were hyper vigilant of your mothers mood, you will find yourself scanning for your partners mood. Are they upset? Are they frustrated?

How can we start changing this? We can start changing this by learning what trauma response we are reacting from (fight, flee, freeze or dawn). This can help us slowly implement behavioral changes. For example, you can first recognize when you feel safe and what makes you uncomfortable. Create a sense safety before you learn to communicate your needs.
