Great video! Interesting that you brought in attachment theory for a moment. A more in depth attachment/Vipassana video would be interesting as someone who did a 10 day and is avoidantly attached.

Full caption: If you keep wondering why you “always” go for toxic people or you end up in the same cycles of toxic relationships, then the problem lies with you. That’s not to say that other people aren’t toxic, but we don’t have control over others. We do, however, have choices and often, our own toxicity prevents us from seeing potential healthy partners, or we might sabotage relationships with healthy partners and instead we attract, date and hang on to the toxic ones. Or better yet, maybe we want to be in a relationship to badly that we’ll accept whatever is given to us, no matter how bad. 🚩🚩 Whether your toxic traight is projecting potential onto people and not seeing them as they area, or choosing to ignore red flags or maybe you prefer situationships because commitment is too scary. You will keep ending up in one toxic relationship after another if you don’t do the work yourself. This isn’t an attack but it might be a wake up call.

This is true, idk why you all are shaming her for it. People tend to stick with those they are like the most and even people who might be traumatized might also be aware of their situation or even be an abuser themselves. Being a victim of abuse doesn’t automatically mean you are incapable or scared all the time, some victims become abusers themselves towards others because they might not know how else to act, might be too desensitized and lack the sympathy or empathy towards others, some people weaponize their trauma to guilt others, some people might even become abusers simply because they don’t want to seem emotionally vulnerable. Overall being a victim doesn’t automatically mean you are a good person or someone who can sympathize. Take me for example, I went through abuse a majority of my childhood and still have experienced some as an adult, at times I can be extremely desensitized and struggle to sympathize with others who are going through something simply because it’s not as bad as what I went through, for a while I was toxic because that’s all I knew how to be and I was an abuser at one point too for a short period of time. I eventually learned my behavior wasn’t okay, sought out therapy and help, learned to be more understanding and have more patience, and here I am today with a productive life and I am going to college soon 🎉

Trauma can also make you a bad person, for someone in psychology you sure seem to have missed out on the whole “victim can become the bully” stage. Not every victim of trauma ends up shy, anxious, or scared and can even become abusers themselves. 🗿

@gotabeta3847 Keyword here is "can." The phrase, "Hurt people hurt people" is true but isn't always the case. Some people break the cycle, some people continue it, and some people fall prey to it do to trauma from past abuse. Not everyone who is abused becomes an abuser.

@alanarama6 ай бұрын
Support from family and friends, engaging with employers to find a suitable way to have a break in some way, going to the doctors to make sure your health is good, attempting to have good nutrition and some self care. I'm sure there are other more intense things to do but I don't get the laughing face, so not sure if it was a genuine question but hope those give you some ideas

@selfwithamanda6 ай бұрын
@charityrocks there is definitely help for burnout which I cover in episode 60. As @alanarama said, asking for support, taking a break from work and reprioritising things while you recover, actively engaging in self-care practices and seeking professional help. Burnout isn’t something that just comes and goes where you wait it out a few days and you’ll be better, it can take months to recover from. 🙏

Doubt her self identity is her marriage. Maybe it’s causing problems with children if the have them. Maybe it’s the memories of 30 years. This is probably coming from someone that’s never been married and are self consumed.
@selfwithamanda6 ай бұрын
May I suggest that it’s possible for people to have an experience that you might not imagine having or different to what you know. Every person’s experience is different even if two people have “gone through the same thing.” I was married for 4.5 years, don’t have children or memories of 30 years of marriage. Please don’t make assumptions or speak on my behalf. Furthermore, many people resonated with this episode who also don’t have kids or were married for 30 years, so I suggest it’s not so unique or strange at all.
