Attachment, Boundaries, and Finding Yourself: Relationship Mailbag | Being Well

[@KalebForseen-q3t]

I used to find myself paralyzed often with overwhelming and repetitive anthems saying internally "you're not good enough" "you're not good enough" "you're not good enough" ... I am still impacted by this at a core level.

"How can I let my thoughts and speech flow more naturally?" - 1) Learn to regulate your nervous system with breathwork and other intentional exposure to discomfort (like cold / heat, strenuous exercise), first in safe solitude or with trusted friends and THEN practice regulation IRL; 2) Connect with what that over-criticized child within you needs, and learn how to provide it with any kind of nurturing you can / whatever works, you may need to get creative and you may need guidance, so that child isn't seeking those needs in your interactions; 3) keep breathing and stay connected to your body, literally feeling your feet on the ground will help you in any conversation

Another amazing video with practical tools to heal! Insecure attachment and shame bounded perspectives are huge problems in relationships especially in group settings. The questions were so clear, as were both of your answers delivered skillfully and ever so compassionately..it just opens my heart and lifts spirits. So very thankful for you both as well as Elizabeth!!😊❤

I would really love to see an episode where Rick and Forrest annotate some of their favorite quotes.

Tricky to keep up with your weekly presentations but doing my best. Always informative and insightful..

[@KalebForseen-q3t]

the healthy and unhealthy wanting is huge for me right now. I don't want to talk about it with my partner. I am extremely avoidant, enmeshed, insecure, and codependent. lol I'm a keeper for sure. hahaha

What do you do if there is no “before the world got in the way”? I have a lot of trouble connecting with my younger selves because some of my earliest memories are of abuse and I have a lot of gaps and triggers in my memories of early childhood. When I think of who I was and what I wanted at that time I was already disconnected from self discovery that mostly I just wanted to be safe or to be the person people wanted me to be, especially related to religious trauma and cult mentality. How do we connect with something that never got a chance to be?

What you think of me is none of my business

Your content has such valuable gems, and the monotones delivery make it so hard to listen and find them.

What's funny about any of this? Please stop laughing when talking about people's pain.

[@ezhilsrikanth9907]

Thanks for sharing your feelings. Humor can be a tricky tool in these discussions, for some, it helps lighten the burden, while for others, it can feel dismissive. We all cope in different ways. Let the sweetness of light hearted laughter find the innocent place deep inside you that doesn't get offended.
