“In relationships, [people are] not reacting to who you TELL them you are. They are reacting to who you ACTUALLY are, and the way you are actually showing up.” Simply brilliant.

[@smokingcrab2290]

This is why communication is impossible in many relationships. You cna say all you want, but the person's impression of you based on your behavior is already in their head and that's what they're responding to. For me, I can talk things out with words because that's how therapy works. You talk it out. For my wife this is impossible. Talking it out is excruciating for her. So communication is impossible.

This is the second video of yours that has made me say "whoa" - "You are not the final authority on who you are and how you're showing up. Other people hold pieces of that puzzle that you do not have in your own hands." I get so freaked out when people point out things I've done (or failed to do) that I didn't see. I'm getting better at validating my partner's observations and complaints, but this idea about blind spots is huge. I'll take this with me. Your ability to communicate complex ideas clearly is a gift - Thanks!!

[@cornwallismorgan874]

I think what makes this so difficult is that people don't tell you what they're experiencing with you, even if you ask them (avoidant). Or they do tell you, but it's hypercritical and blown way out of proportion (anxious). So if they don't give you this information, you can't meaningfully integrate it and use it to change your behavior, and if they give it to you in a way that shuts you down, you also can't meaningfully integrate it because it's too disparate. It leaves you either guessing what went wrong and not knowing, or feeling bad about yourself/not able to process effectively.

[@nadinewood1081]

My ex husband asked me for 15 years what I was doing wrong in the relationship and I literally had no idea and so would ask him to tell me and he couldn't or wouldn't. This conversation would happen after I would catch him cheating or lying and I felt was a way to turn it around on me. Now I wonder if maybe he just didn't know how to explain what I was doing, because I couldn't even see it. 6 years after divorce and my eyes are finally opened.

@@cornwallismorgan874 I never knew how to regulate my own emotions and I had no idea I was expecting others to regulate them for me. If not my partner, I can now see how I expected it from my children. I was trying to be parented emotionally in all my relationships. I always feel my issues are way bigger than anyone else's because of the intensity I felt. Low self esteem kept me from seeing how I was hurting others. I couldn't hear anyone else's emotional needs or ways I hurt them because I felt like I was struggling to hard to even deal with my own and everyone should just understand that. Lol. I fear deep intimacy and expressing my true needs. It is embarrassing to me to express that I need anything and I didn't even really know what my needs are. I could go on and on and on. Lol. Many realizations lately.

[@ataxie]

This requires both parties to have self awareness first, and then decency. What I witnessed so far whenever you share a feedback even in the kindest and honest way, usually people take it as an offence and start fighting back by saying bad things about you irrelevantly. This is crazy!

[@jimmysroom5132]

This is not a simple process. You need a healthy conneceted internal guidance system (relationship with yourself) in order to know what feedback is worth considering. If you were raised in an abusive environment then you will have internalized things that damage you through the process of accepting feedback. You just wont know which is which until after you smash against the proverbial wall. Accepting "feedback" in a codependent dynamic is terrifyingly destructive and life threatening. A society can have pathologies, not just individuals which makes this very hard at times.

[@robincrowflies]

Read novels. I'm serious. If you've been deprived in your life, read stories about others. It will help balance you out and see things you wouldn't have been able to see otherwise. Through participating in other people's stories (true stories work this way, too, not just novels), we gain those experiences, in a way. Also, the world talks to us, too, and is often a better mirror than people we know well. Chance meetings with strangers can mirror us, too. We all are mirrors for one another. Peace.

What's interesting is that a lot of this applies even coming from the opposite direction of most of the examples- growing up the family and community scapegoat, I internalized extremely negative things about myself. Hearing positive feedback is uncomfortable and painful to me, because it doesn't match the ego-image (if it even counts as "ego", a tool of self-defense, at that point).

My girlfriend and I have been together for nearly three years now. She is very DA, and I am very AP. I started seeking therapy and speaking with a coach a couple years ago when I discovered attachment theory during one of our moments where our attachment styles became so discordant that it caused a breakup. I never really knew how to approach her and ask her to look into this until about six months ago when we ultimately triggered each other into another breakup and I kind of spouted it at her all in a fit of protest behaviors. During that period of separation, she, unbeknownst to me at the time, had taken what I said seriously and started looking into it. We mended things, and we have been communicating on a whole different level, with empathy and patience, and listening and asking that we are understanding each other completely. It feels to me like things are going very well. Then she sent me this video last night stating that she was "scared" to share this one with me (we have shared videos and ideas with each other before, including other videos of yours). I am not sure what to take away from why she sent it to me and why it made her scared. I asked her, she said she would explain later (face to face, likely, as we do NOT communicate effectively at all over text). So begins the anxiety. lol. But I trust her, in that her intentions are good, and for our betterment and vulnerable intimacy and helping our relationship flourish.

Very insightful video! Sometimes you have to be careful about this though. If the other person is a toxic/narcissistic individual, they might hold up a very broken mirror to you and you begin to belief very bad things about yourself, which are not true. Because what you see in this mirror is not yourself, but the negative projection of that toxic individual. And thanks to the trauma bond you actually belive this person is a much better than they are.

[@talc1502]

This is so true! I can definitely relate as I'm climbing my way out of that crapshow 🙈 this is so crazy how long it took me to see and understand!

Thank you so much, Heidi! I've consumed lots of content on shadow work before, but your content offers something practical and makes things click in a way others don't. So, thank you! I want to share how this video helped me in a practical sense by sharing an example in case it helps people that are in a similar boat as me (FYI, I'm a healing fearful avoidant with a ways to go). Anyway, I watched this video last night and then this morning I was rambling about my business to my boyfriend even though he's asked me MANY times to not talk at him when he is clearly preoccupied (which I noticed he was). Usually, I'd brush it off, attributing it to him being unwilling to listen and think thoughts like "I bet someone ELSE would listen", rather than reflecting on my behavior. However, after watching your video, when he expressed his frustration this morning, I allowed myself to absorb the critique. It was UNCOMFORTABLE, and I even cried realizing the truth about myself. I apologized to him and acknowledged his perspective. This is all to say, THANK YOU for helping me not blame the mirror and instead use it to help me grow and to slowly build a healthier, happier, more fair relationship.

My longest relationship was from 2019 to 2021 (on and off as he broke up with me 4 or 5 times during this "cycle") through your videos, I discovered that I am having issues with the "pull away process" as when someone starts to pull away a bit, it always results in me being dumped.. I am currently seeing someone since early November, we went on vacation together and he has seen the worst part of my anxiety. But he's still there.. (I'll admit it, I'm still surprised he is 😅) but I realise I am not so sure what to expect from an healthy relationship..

This is such food for thought, I'm very glad to see your video on intimacy in the context of attachment theory. Some personal thoughts I had: It's mindblowing to reflect on intimacy, when my experience as a neurodivergent person (autistic in particular) is that people very often get me wrong without it being me putting ego defenses, but a genuinely wrong assessment of me as a person (this has been coined as the Double Empathy Problem). This created in me a self-fulfilling prophecy of eventually getting defensive over being perceived on principle. So, hearing the "you're not the final authority on who you are, others hold pieces of that puzzle that you don't have in your hands" quote felt more ominous than it should be for this exact reason, even so I get what you actually meant! 🙏 It's hard to realize that most people's blind spots on the self exist for attachment reasons, rather than historical inaccuracy in perceiving people like me, which is fortunately changing over time. Validating others' perceptions of myself (and the other way around) came easier to do, once I could have clarity of what my autism entailed, first and foremost; authentic knowledge that I lacked for many years, was what helped me not get as overly defensive as in my youth. _Then,_ I could get access to a more prismatic view or both myself and others, and I still mess up but not in the same way. Integration between one's view of self and others' view to get to the truth, it's such a difficult, messy thing at times... I love the specificity angle in how to share one's experiences of the other. I have a lot to learn about about intimacy, thank you for the wake up call. 🤍

The closer a person is to you, the more beneficial or destructive they will be to your life.

Your guidelines were exactly what I needed. Showing up knowing my flaws will be seen makes me very uncomfortable even though I'm aware that's the only way to build true intimacy. I believe it's somebody I can trust as a mirror. Now I just need to be brave and make sure to communicate kindly, properly and accurately. I love you. Your videos are guiding me toward the light.

You are very insightful and I enjoy your material. I wish I had this when I was younger. I'm just too tired to implement all this good information.

[@petermilne1203]

Yes, it’s never too late! I’m 62 and still improving!

[@Nova1-]

If that’s what you think now, it wouldn’t have been different even if you saw this when you were younger

The lack of energy is real.

[@javierreyes786]

this video has blown my mind with a new perspective on how to self evaluate and also how others evaluate us. I have always heard of the "intention vs action" perspective where we intend to do our best and think of ourselves in high regard but the actions may not reflect that, the mirroring scenarios really help put that into perspective of how someone could evaluate themselves accurately or take advantage of self-reflection to overestimate themselves and instead try to correct their critics.

[@lmg88.80]

wow. you are so wise and smart. Thank you for the good explainations

[@mzsonsie]

It's amazing how detailed and specific your insights are. I really appreciate having your channel as a resource to help me on my journey. Thank you for your good work 🙏 and manifold blessings to you! 🙌

[@jamesmurphy8424]

This one really blew me away and resonated with me so profoundly and the way you so clearly articulate everything. I’m so impressed and so thankful that I came across your channel. Thank you🧡

Preach on sister Heidi, that was a super deep sermon that soothed the soul!

[@santinamarie4699]

You are incredibly amazing at describing everything you're teaching. Once you can understand what's going on concerning this insecure attachment Style , you can realize that having a relationship is just not possible. The only way I can live like a healthy person, is to not have any emotions at all. Although the ego can relent far enough to allow the individual to see that they're not perfect . It's still punishes you emotionally for not being perfect. And this is something that is taking a very long time to release or reprogram, but I am still trying of course❤

[@greghodge7479]

I am amazed with every video, for over 2 years now. You have helped me so much! I have so far to go. Thank you!

[@coreywiles9317]

Wow. Thank you so much for this wonderful video. Truly one of the most helpful channels on youtube. You have a gift for explaining these concepts and a lovely, gentle way of presenting the data and encouraging reflection and growth. Again, thank you so very much. Your videos mean a great deal to many confused humans all over this silly rock.

People sometimes project their stuff onto you, negativity, then you speak to a positive person who uplifts people and you get a different story about who you are! I know who i am but mood plays a big part in how i see myself, i think i am a pretty good person but i have been gaslit for a lifetime by sisters who want to pull me down, I am at a point now where i am ready to let em go, although its hard, its harder to keep being gas-lit, if you can't trust them to not hurt you, you are in trouble, i think it has contributed to my lack of self esteem and started with my rotten mother and sick mentally dad schizophrenic, he was very fond of little girls, he didn't seem able to add 2 and 2, his thinking was so distorted!❤

[@Acoss527]

You have no idea how much you have helped me - thank you! Also, I am a native Spanish speaker and feel your message is so very important, if you wanted to translate your videos, I’d love to help (literally volunteering for it, not trying to sell myself) just feel like what you have to say has to go as far as possible and be as accessible as possible for anyone with ctpsd… thank you doesn’t quite encompass the gratitude I feel for you and your channel, honestly thank you!

[@Loveiskindloveiskind]

Stop everything, Heidi posted! 😭😭

[@Bwahzehdezooner]

I have been listening to you for quite a while, and I am impressed with your writing as well as your flawless presentation. Great work.

[@wild3812]

This video has compiled years of therapy in 30 minutes content. For the first time I felt how flawed my understanding of intimacy was. It’s not the story we share about ourselves, whilst being scared of the actual truth about ourselves that we hear from the world. Gold. I have started doing some shadow work and it’s a cathartic experience to accept the rejected parts of ourselves and see the flaws

[@nihilistichorse9650]

So helpful, cant beleive I expected to be able to figure out all these skills by just arguing with myself in my head. Thank you.

[@ziggypip2938]

I’m anxious attached and real intimacy triggers the hell outta me. That’s why avoidant people are safe…duhr…such great work, Heidi!!!

[@iris_nazarena_4882]

I've been a subscriber for a few months, and this is easily the most impactful video I've seen of yours. Thank you so much!

[@Lilbambi1209]

These videos have been a godsend. More helpful even than the therapists I’ve been to. Thank you so much for this ❤

[@eternaltwenty2]

Amazing analysis. This helped me so much with someone I’m getting to know right now.
