Hey Heidi, I have a quick question. Thank you as always for your great insights. I've found this video helpful to refresh whenever I feel rocky in my relationship. It's actually shown me that I am often contributing to issues I saw as my partner's fault, in ways that I'm blind to (your blindspots series was so eyeopening for this), because I was definitely outsourcing my own needs onto my partner. My question is, with this framework is there any reason that social networks and partner are separate? I understand that partner is potentially a unique type of relationship so it comes with it's own unique focus, but I guess I would have placed it within social networks?

Im a FA leaning anxious. What i don't understand is how do people stay years and years in these relationships. 4 months feeling miserable and i end it. I can't endure pain for to long. My last boyfriend left me hanging on my birthday to be with his friends, after i told him that was important for me. This on top of everything else he made me go through, made me snap. I ended it right there because there was no reasoning with him. I know it wasn't important for him, but in my mind when it's important for the person we love, its important for us. He couldn't understand this (or he didn't want to) so i ended it.

For me and my husband, we both basically recreated our toxic families so we thought these dynamics were normal 😔 We had become enmeshed/codependent which made it difficult to see and feel clearly. Felt like we "needed to fight" for the relationship without awareness of where to draw the line. Even unhealthy relationships provide a sense of security to insecure people and we weren't abusing each other so it wasn't super obvious to us that this wasn't healthy. So lots of healing to do now that I've left 😅 but glad I am aware to all of this now

Thank you ❤ This is very comforting as much for the confirmation and information, as for the clarity. I've been in the midst of a complex break up for the last three months. I keep trying to make it a simple one by stating my truth over and over again and trying to understand where he's coming from, but we just aren't able to get there. It's like he keeps slipping through my fingers, keeps acting different and saying different things.. offering help and showing care and then shutting me off and ignoring me.. I still can't tell if he just needs some time to process or he really wants to be done. And I'm guessing I'm gonna have to decide for myself, without knowing all the facts or "checking all the strategies" as you say.. there's always "something more I could've done" or "maybe I didn't give him enough time and space to work through his freeze response everytime I expressed what I was feeling"... but it's most likely the problem was me doing too much.. It hurts so bad, especially because what began the dissolution, was his negliegence of my dog who got badly hurt because of it.. I'm now taking care of her 24/7, hoping she'll recover enough to have a peaceful, natural death (she's 16 yo).. He says he was just too burned out to care, from working too much and driving to my place and back again (he wouldn't move in with me even after two years, because he was afraid of loosing clients; he's a house painterand I couldn't move in with him as he was still living with roomates and dogs weren't allowed there). What's most confusing is, like you mentioned, there seemed to be much understanding on his part of what wasn't working, but then never actually making the changes in behaviour. And he never wanted for anything. Even though I let him know continuosly that it's okay to have needs and that I want to know him in this way too, he saw expectations as an unspiritual thing. So of course he burned out. 😢 It is so confusing when they seem so aware and willing to work on it, but then just cut off emotionally and fade out without keeping in touch and trying to resolve it, like they said they would.. and what is heartbreaking is knowing we did love each other, still do, but the old trauma just keeps getting in the way.. 💔 Oh, I'm a mess.. but this helps a lot. The main muscle I have to build is connection to self and to Life! I feel like I abandoned myself and my faith the most.. the resource one is probably gonna be tough, too, because he helped me with my house a lot. I'm just so grateful to have supportive family and friends who are my strongest muscle, always. 💞

I think it is going to be harder when you are part of a culture that holds more traditional patriarchal values. Heidi comes from the US (I presume - or Canada?) which is really one of the few (mainly European countries) in which it is accepted that women can live independently and have multiple relationships with few social repercussions. Ie there are cultural and economic layers to this issue, as well as simply individual psychological attachment issues. I think we have to acknowledge those other layers to the argument rather than just saying ‘hey - if you feel unhappy and unfulfilled because of your insecure attachment styles you can just leave’. Tbh I suspect most people in the world will have some type of insecure attachment. But maybe you will find even in more traditional cultures that cultural expectations start to change. All the best to you and finding happiness in your future.

STALKING a married man relentlessly, can most definitely create anxiety and unnecessary STRESS inside MARRIAGES. So MY advice to women is to STOP stalking and FOLLOWING married men around the globe. Because a decent woman should be able to find her very OWN man. I'm sure the man of her dreams is out there somewhere....waiting to meet her.

okay cried a lot watching this video!! after lot's of therapy never in my life I understood so clearly why I always stay in difficult relationships until I'm deeply depressed. I noticed ALL of my other 'muscles' often rely on romantic relationships and thus I find life being single super terrifying and pointless. I will try to make this video into text form and print it out so that i can keep it with me forever and reread it regularly. I do have another question with me though. I can say I'm quite 'love addict' since I am rarely single for more then a couple of (terrifying) months, sometimes just weeks or sometimes immediately. Everytime I tell myself after a breakup now is the time i learn to be comfortable by myself, but everytime my panic takes over me and I start looking for dates, 'just to reassure myself there's other options', but then I do meet someone new who i sincerely like, and feel almost disappointed because actually it's way too soon now, but I don't want to blow it of just to stay single and learn the hard way. My question is, do you (or anyone is the comments) believe I can also work on this, while giving in to myself and continue dating? Or should I just tell this person who'm seems interesting, that I want to stop dating because I need to be okay by myself without him before hand? I realise its more logical to do the second but it feels so hard, though I'm scared it might backlash getting into something new too fast again

It sounds like you’re navigating the complex dance of attachment styles-your avoidant tendencies might be pulling you back, while his anxious attachment prompts him to seek more connection, perhaps leading to behaviors that feel like love bombing or hoovering. This tension can create a painful push-pull dynamic. Understanding each other’s attachment styles could open the door to a more empathetic dialogue. It might help to communicate your need for space in a way that reassures his anxious attachment.

I’m speaking from personal experience. My ex-wife could have wrote exactly what you did, including all the lingo that implies intentional manipulation.

Very interesting that the partner got the center circle in the graphics. I would certainly put the connection to self or to purpose in the center, but it depends on personality types for sure. Very good elaboration though. Thank you for sharing.

There’s one part I got confused: Do I need to find out in what ways I will care about community to find my purpose? Does it come from external reasons? I believe that’s my biggest issue… 😢

I'm in a great relationship, we have a lot in common and want to be together. But they are preoccupied with another person and it's obvious to me we are never going to live together.

My Dear Heidi, Like many who write to you here, I love your presentations! You are so fluid and natural! Such perspicacity must be the result of high intelligence plus DEEP LEARNING (LIVING your profession)! Years ago, I had the privilege of belonging to the Southern Florida Jung Society. One of the lecturers we brought in for our monthly weekend seminar was Murray Stein. Not long thereafter I purchased his book, “Practicing Wholeness, Analytical Psychology and Jungian Thought.” A great little volume packed full of wisdom. You might enjoy it.

Your tips and explanations are great but they seem to focus mostly on stiuations where factors like time, private and societal circumstances and individual needs that relate to those things aren't considered, e.g. to make a simple example; if I expect a big war, virus or finance crisis to break out in the next month's/years I would have to consider this into my plans of staying or leaving a girl or generally what I want and need, for exampleif you want to have as much good sex and time together as possible before getting pulverized by defensive missiles or transforming into a formless blob after ten booster shots. Basically as a man I calculate many things around sex first and after that I decide what to do ^^ mainly because I realized during covid that I couldn't stand something like that again without having enough fun before and during such an event.

This was the best video I have ever watched ❤❤❤
@user-th7lu2yf7n4 ай бұрын
why do people in videos like these say "have friends" "have intimate connections" "if not, get a therapist" so easily, as if it's so simple, just that simple? it makes me feel injusticed, angry, hopeless, just very awful. they say it so easily and without any clue on how to do that, they take these things for granted i don't have intimate connections, no. and i dont know how to. and of course access for good therapy isn't there for everyone hearing these things being talked about so simply makes me feel more awful and miserable i watched this video and i haven't had a romantic relationship before, i watched it because the heartbreak talk in it was very accurate to many of my friendships that i wished to be deeper and more intimate but didn't work out. though it also hurts to be so confused about how to approach friendship from that intimate place rather than a shallow one though i did like the rest of what was said in the video, it wad very insightful

Heidi! Thank you so much. This is a weight off of my shoulders. I now understand why i have stayed in a dysfunctional relationship that was hurting me for 18 years. I was feeling a lot of blame and shame, but this lifted some of that. Now, HOW do i actually get out? What do i say? How long should the convo be? What if i can't leave my home right away? Do i just sit on this until i have a place lined up?

There's an underlying feeling I get of like, do y'all really have that many connected friendships to count on at all times? like, friendships fade and you don't just "have" that. It feels like it comes from a place of priviledge or theory that completely disregards actual messy and complicated reality. Seems like enough people are sufficiently isolated, so proposing this as-is makes zero sense to me. Sort of a, bro, you really think that many people have well interconnected lives? communities? opportunities? It feels like adviced coming from so much priviledge. Similar to "money doesn't buy happiness", from someone who's never had to worry about eating.
