Resistance and Commitment Issues - Seattle Synchronization Workshop - Teal Swan

[@thecoolestgingerkid]

I appreciate how open this person is to expressing what they’re feeling and thinking at each moment

[@authenticinteractions.5789]

#becomeyourbeliever Heavens yes. Clearly and thoroughly meant

[@Ben_D.]

Brave man, bringing your raw feelings and fears right on stage. Hat tip to you sir.

[@Tuxnator]

I appricate that guys bravery... I feel like had had suffered in his childhood causing his despise to commitments. Yet, he had only committed to the wrong thing.

[@KhakiKkakiKhaki]

The power in your simple question, "Where were you taught that?" will set millions and millions free, sister. Glorious video of teaching reflection and the understanding that reflection brings.

[@ivazadro5857]

Omg yes, questions are the best tool

[@yohna33]

oh my god I remember watching this last year, criticizing him for being in such a resistance, but now I'm here today watching this again, being mind blown since I just realized I was a total commitment phobe too, and was resisting it like HELL for all these years. MUCH appreciation for his bravery. thank you for being such a perfect mirror for me.

[@angielorenacv]

Wow, I was crying so much after this, that I had to watch it again and take some notes. I realized I am in resistance and I have commitment issues. Wow! This guy openness was greatly helpful

[@lacheredenton5736]

I so feel him, I think my main feeling of fear comes from Rejection. I can and have given commitment and been willing to repair but the other half typically hasn't. But now I realize why because I experienced my father's abandonment and lies, that I don't trust men, especially Not their words. On a subconscious level, I think I'm attracted to men I know won't be there because it helps me Not Connect and Not get hurt. I can keep an emotional distance and not fall apart when they too abandon or cheat. But I'm so ready to find a man I can trust.

[@fredericmoresmau4303]

you taught me to not contact you........ like every single time would get ignored........... not a single reply ever and if, it was messing with me............. you really shouldn't wonder when people stray if you treat them like that

[@PriyankaGupta-ew1li]

It's crazy how the defense mechanisms We developed to protect ourselves in childhood from experiencing pain actually ends up causing more & more pain in Adult-hood! Love and healing to all❤🤗🙏🏻🔆 Let us all become Integrated & Bright💜🙏🏻🤗🤗

[@inkypinky4818]

I’m so amazed. And also I feel honored and lucky that I could watch this. Thank you Teal and BraveMan.

[@altheeaself76]

Me too; what an awesome segment. Tore me up and helped me at the same time. Awesome co creation; thanks to all, be well, be gentle, be brave

[@crct2004]

This came just when I needed it, thank you Teal, thank you universe, thank you kind sir for being brave enough to go up there and provide me a mirror.

[@cainen6355]

This Video let me to sit crying on my bed for half an hour. For me this was the final blow at taking something back into myself after a Long time.

[@crct2004]

The universe has your back and mine - this is so hard but we saw this for a reason! Sending you love!!!!!

[@cainen6355]

I love These Videos. They are pure, open and are really Clearing up my mind chaos around certain Topics which I Always have to admit to myself are really also a Problem for me atleast to some Point. Edit: I can't describe how perfect this Video came for me. Today is my Birthday and I have not only recognized myself often in this Video but I immediately after this Video sat down and engaged in my own Problems with commitment. I reunited with a Major part of myself today. I was struggeling for about half an hour in my thoughts and feelings until there was one of the most wonderful feelings of relief and being one part more whole again I have ever eyperienced. In my thoughts, I still hug the part of myself that I have taken back into my consciousness today. Love to all of you!

[@forfreedomssake4315]

Wow, I resonate with this guy. He is not alone.

[@wildfire8737]

Yes indeed WOW as I also can relate 💯 Much Love and Compassion to us All ♡ Thank you Teal for opening this door of understanding for my journey and may you be blessed truly 🙇☆

[@Dinakourouvani]

Toy Bonnie! Β

[@PriyankaGupta-ew1li]

If I may ask,wat kinda treatment from parents in childhood causes boys to grow up as commitment phobic men??

[@whitebirchtarot]

@@PriyankaGupta-ew1li i’m a woman who is also afraid of commitment and from my point of view, what I heard Teal say is that if you committed to your parents as a child, and I think all children do because we rely on them and we love them, and then they hurt you and let you down or criticized you or whatever, then you fear committing to anyone else because you’re afraid it’s going to happen again. Also, I think when you’re hurt as a child, you blame yourself and then you think you don’t deserve anything good and you don’t trust anything good when it does come along. At least that’s the way I am. Does that make sense?

[@bekah9470]

I’d say that was pretty authentic. I just realized I am a commitment-phobia too lol! 😂

[@yukiokuma8983]

Me too!!

[@whitebirchtarot]

Me, too. And it really does prevent you from accomplishing anything in life. I don’t even think I’ve even committed to being alive.

[@jimkata77]

I'm seeing myself so strongly in this guy.

[@nurcanengledow3221]

Teal, Teal , Teal. Him on the stage , Blake within the audience and me across the screen here. ( I am the female version) I have been awaking to all this for some time although listening to you made it all clear in words. That has been me all my life yet I have been changing it very gradually. Forever grateful for your work , for your love and compassion. I love you ❤️

[@susanyang5870]

Bring that mess up and say it's okay. Let's be with it. I feel every time I bring my mess up, either myself or other people are so disapproving and rush to fix it.

[@thecoolestgingerkid]

Wow this helped SO much in answering my questions of why certain things are issues for me

[@n.j.a.9907]

This is like the third time I watch this. And the first I realice I have the same issues as this man..how unconscious one can be even trying to be councious. Hard work.

[@isafernandez1494]

Just got such a good download. I guess I've always associated commitment to outside things as not committing to myself, when it absolutely can be and the two can be separated! I can commit to outside things FOR myself. And suddenly am feeling that freedom in commitment you keep talking about, haha! And some perfectionism is relieved, too. Thanks Teal!!! and (Venus-Saturn sextile!) :P

[@alisonisaacs2443]

I heard so much of what he was unable to say because I too feel it, experience it and am held captive by it.

[@ElenaSemanova]

I really liked the empathy and kindness that Teal showed.

[@jojomang3016]

@1peter18 For real, she laughed at him and got offended that he didn't automatically take in everything she had to say even though she said nothing of substance. So society influenced his view on sex. Okay, how does that help him?

[@taniamichelle306]

Kia ora thank you... what courage and authenticity has this guy... brilliant video... has some food for thought for me personally... thank you Teal arohanui 😍💖💛💖😍

[@TheInfiniteCup]

I struggled with co depending on my partner for years. I am my own self finally. After many hours of meditation and surrendering. We are pure love. 🙏🏻

[@advertorialpro5242]

theinfinitecup wow!!! 🙏 bless you this is what I was looking to hear

[@melodyworld706]

I'm so happy that there are some aware people around the world. Wish you luck everyone

[@Sinsearach]

I'd love to know how he is doing today. Wherever you are dude, major support sent your way, no matter what . Thank you for getting vulnerable this way, it was courageous and this helped me realise a lot about my commitment's issues also. You were a mirror to many of us as it is telling from the comments! Cheers

[@amyreneetaylor8920]

How beautiful and absolutely relateable!! I respect him so much for the transparency and self-reflection he showed during struggle! That was tremendously brave! And fierce Teal... not backing down... all of it really moved me.

[@franzabananza]

Wooow the commitment conversation is so enlightening. I already had a hunch but having teal validate and shed a light in regards to family relationships make so much sense

[@suz1159]

Such a great and authentic talk! This man was so courageous and awesome. I have a feeling many people struggle with this and it's very enlightening hearing it from a real life male's perspective. Thankyou for being so vulnerable. As I couldn't understand for the life of me why people struggled with commitment, it made no sense to me until now. As I certainly had challenges in my childhood but one thing I didn't experience was entanglement or forced beliefs and control, my mother was quite the opposite and neglectful all in that department, I don't think she cared what I thought tbh particularly about sexuality so I never struggled with these certain problems so was very hard for me to understand others who did. I do hear it's a problem within church families though where the parents are far too involved with indoctrination of religious rules etc. It's definitely something that I see is a problem that effect many males within the church environment.

[@Lovelyuntamed]

I met Blake once and we hugged! Omg♥

[@elsagrace3893]

Lovely Untamed Rituals does that make you feel special, like you matter?

[@Lovelyuntamed]

@@elsagrace3893 Actually, no. It's just a trip having watched someone on KZbin for quite a while, never imagining coming across them ever in my life, but then it ends up happening. Let alone embracing in a hug with them.

[@thankyoujesus2836]

elsa Grace guess what she is special and she matters

[@xyzeli]

whaaat where did u hug him?!

[@DellEdelson]

Wow this got me crying out loud, thank you so much for this honest, eye opening conversation. I felt like this man spoke my heart, guess I also have to sit gently with this commitment phobe aspect of me ❤

[@Heavy2deep]

As always, In-depth masterful. Thank you for posting this.

[@marasgm2831]

Teal i think the abandonmemt issue would light up a lot in my path, would you consider adressing sometime? You change my life, you deserve all the light in te world for making life on earth closer to the source

[@amyreneetaylor8920]

YES!! Teal's videos always seem to come to me by divine appointment! She is a lightworker, healing healers. I love her so much! &... I would also like to hear more about abandonment &/or "avoidance attachment disorder"

[@Joyce-ni7tq]

I learned a lot from this, i need to validate myself and take some time to heal my fears.. Thanks Teal

[@mammamonssterr]

His problem is shame, more than fear of commitment. He said he felt the expectation and she went straight to "it's commitment issues", but I think his problem is he's too embarrassed with himself to the point he feels he's not good enough and that's why expectations overwhelm him. I don't follow her at all in this video, and I don't understand the comments either. He's trying to get feedback from her when she's silent and she says that's him being in resistance because he * should * understand exactly what she's saying, and all the comments are "yes he's in soooo much resistance and it's sooo annoying 😡😡". You can agree with her but I feel people just blindly agree with everything she says without any personal criteria. And why is it that spiritual people are always so judgmental? I came to this video with an open heart wanting to hear what this man has to say without judging him nor his process and I was expecting the same from the people who watch this kinds of videos, but everyone is saying how annoying he is, I'm like ? He even says "I'm always annoyed when I see people come to you in so much resistance and I'm one of them!", he's like this too, sooo judgmental. This is what happens when you consume so much content from a guide, you feel you know sooo much and you judge people "who know less/are less skilled" than you, because you're a master on the matter for watching 50 videos of someone on KZbin 🙄 I expect judgment and lack of pacience/understanding/compassion from "normies" but not from people who have suffered enough to seek awakening and openness and authenticity and love/compassion. My God, you guys are the same (or worse, because you know better) as those who are not aware and open.

[@kaylacarpenter9658]

I feel like Teal when I explain things to people. It can be frustrating.

[@lilly43698]

She wasn't frustrated, I think she is very concentrated on herself so she brings the right vibes in the conversation, she concentrates on what he says, she unterstands she feels into it she goes deep down and searchs for the reason. And because she is so concentrated he feels accepted he feels like ok this comment isn't meant against me it's her true opinion. And this is such a good feeling to live your true potential. To stay true to yourself and do good things to others also for yourself!

[@scottbecker3485]

The magic of seeing what one doesn’t wish to see, and then bathing it in the light of one’s own heart - so beautiful to behold! But there is another fruitful angle for this brave man, if he should choose to step towards it: men’s work. Reconnection to his primal force, connection with Mother Earth and the love of other men, thus releasing himself from some of the burden of sexuality and the fear of becoming “owned” by a woman’s needs. It’s important for us men to deal with these things as men - energetically, with fierce love, and sometimes even with tough love. And for us to uncover our vision - something divorced from the need to “receive” in the workaday world or in sexuality or in relationships in general. A few steps in the direction of men’s work might help him, too. Brother, I’m with ya on this!

[@jistutz]

Thanks, Scott!

[@sgkelsey]

Teal Swan, I have a request: could you do a video for empaths about how to honor one's own feelings *and* deal with the empathic hit the empath takes as people react with negative emotion to the empath having boundaries?

[@cosmicheartseed]

I understand absolutely everything this man is going through

[@cheyannedeines2535]

OH MY GOODNESS 9 minutes in and this becomes one of the best and funniest Teal conference talks i have ever seen lol its amazing and i think he really learned a lot about himself and why he has had the issues he's had to that point of his life. I really think that these realizations change his life for the better.

[@Catstache]

Commitment issues are probably at the top of my list now. I started acknowledging that the problem even existed within the last 6 months. Now I see how it goes hand in hand with all of my struggles. I don’t manifest shit I cannot grow anything I start. My mirror I believe is my boyfriend lol. He doesn’t ask anything of me and I love it but also very ashamed to be who I am. I hate responsibility so much and resisted that part of me intensely now I have chronic pain in my entire body or “fibromyalgia.” It’s like a dream come true and a nightmare all at once. I know people see that I accomplish nothing and I grew up in a household where I only got accepted for my accomplishments or service so it’s like I constantly feel disapproved or. I’m co dependent but for my physical ailments I definitely don’t put myself forward for just anyone as in I have strengthened my boundaries and started asking myself for my truth, what really matters to me. I got addicted to weed because it gave me another reason to do nothing and have no responsibility and recently have cut down to basically quitting at least THC, and I feel a lot better and more clear on what I want. Yet I still always feel the tendency to think what would someone else want me to do. I have been in many narcissistic relationships, I hate having control over my decisions and I love having someone else to blame. I guess I just got so fed up with giving myself away that it came to a head and I had a mental breakdown that really made my commitment issues very obvious as well as codependency. I lost some people that honestly felt were using me and abusing my codependency and energy and I still miss them?? My boyfriend as I mentioned also has commitment issues, he stays by my side but for the 6 years we have been together we have been very very stagnant in terms of manifesting. We have the same daily lazy routine since day one. I get annoyed that he doesn’t ask anything of me lol yet also so relieved. When someone does ask something of me I feel like if I don’t do it they’ll abandon me. At least think less of me. Which fills me with panic. Commitment always feels like it will end in rejection, misery, and giving myself away

[@advertorialpro5242]

Scoria damn, have you done anything about this?

[@whitebirchtarot]

I hear you. I thought I had chronic fatigue syndrome for almost 20 years and it turned out I was simply afraid of being in a committed relationship. I married the person I loved, and I guess part of me was afraid that I wasn’t good enough for him or something bad would happen, so I just stayed in bed. He died 11 months ago and now I realize what I lost. Very painful. I wish I could’ve seen this 20 years ago, but I probably wouldn’t have been open to it.

[@starshinetarot1402]

You're so beautiful dude!! I had the same problems growing up.. I still struggle with it tbh.. GOOD FOR YOU FOR GETTING UP THERE AND BRINGING THIS TO LIGHT. Much love your way man!!!

I need to watch this again!Amazing!

[@Nomad.Hawk_87]

"You could be controlled by a rabbit... it just takes the rabbit to make one decision!" Wow it hit me like a ton of bricks ! It's the first time in my life i have been able to commit to something, and it's my work and my little community... i'm still super resistant to committing to a man, but i really really really want to validate the part of me that has good reasons to never commit to a man ever again... and be very gentle and loving with that part of myself. I just bought 2 of Teal's frequency paintings, one is "Human intimacy" and the other is "Creativity"... lol can you believe that?! That's SO my theme right now !!! I feel that my personal energy is never really in my own hands... in fact i know i'm borrowing it to others. And so yes, self help in that way really backfires ! No, it's not always a personal energy... it's a personal energy for some people ! Those who have the capacity to actually manifest and have access to that energy 24/7 ! Believe it or not , some people (like me or Blake) we don't have access to that energy consistently... so we manifest very few things, and it takes a lot of participation (and good will) from others to do so. And if they're not seeing us nor interested in helping us manifesting our personal goals... if we try to force ournway, we are met with a lot of resistance. And i mean A LOT. Enough to make you want to hide your desires for the rest of your life ! We are just doing like a lot of people on earth are doing. Waiting for better times and better opportunities to come. People who are good for US. We're very dependent on the others. Some people don't need the others that much, but we do!

[@moulee7448]

It so so so do relates to my life...i too have this commitment issues.. Year after year i am standing in the same place... This us the reason... But the true path feels so scary and alone journey

[@intention.adventure]

man, it took a minute to get there, but the points unearthed at the 20 minute mark were super worth the process! 💪🏽

[@MuseSunflower]

If anyone wants to chime in I'd appreciate it. This video showed me I have a lot of fear around sexual energy myself. I fear committing to a man because it scares me that I could be in love with him and he is feeling sexual arousal towards other women. My mind wants to think that means he'll leave me for another woman, I'll get abandoned, he'll forget about me, I must not be important if he feels that towards other people, whats the point of monogamy if unconsciously he wants to have a bunch of sex with others etc How can I work on that? Commitment makes me feel like I will be trapped by these feelings. In no way am I trying to change or argue with biology but I have to be honest about my feelings and I feel like this topic can trigger a lot for women but we just have to "get over it"

[@elsagrace3893]

Fiona Monroe I get it. I’d like to hear more about it from Teal also.

[@sugar_venom]

I’m in the same boat. I’d like to hear about this from Teal.

I was thinking about you the other day while I was working in Seattle and you were there. Should have checked. Damn.. next time

[@jasnajulija]

Thank you for sharing your feelings ❤️😇

[@squarejack8666]

The more I think about it, I have never seen teal swan talk to a man who wasn't timid/effeminate and then she speaks to them or about them as if she knows more about them than they do. Of course I know why the reasons why she does that but it really puts me off. I appreciate her thoughts but I have a strong feeling that if I met her in person, I would feel very repelled

[@squarejack8666]

I should clarify that when I say effeminate, I mean, "desmasulated," not "feminine." Teal is the strong feminine who doesn't always present in a completely passive, gentle, firm, or aggressive way. It's always a complex mix with her. But every time I see a guest, it is always a crippled masculine. Weak, passive, submissive, and easily led in conversation.

[@whitebirchtarot]

I’m pretty sure I saw a video the other night where teal had a man on stage who wasn’t like that at all. He was very strong and almost obnoxious in a way. I’m not saying that strong men are obnoxious by the way, but just this particular guy was. I wish I could remember the name of the video, but I watch so many that I forget. I don’t think she’s trying to emasculate men, I think she just tries to get to the heart of the matter with everyone, male or female and it kind of puts them on the defensive. Does that make sense?

[@LewisRacing90]

Wow! Very beautiful 💚

[@yma0evelyn]

I love how he suddenly changed!

[@yma0evelyn]

No, watch his energy at the beginning and how he becomes more lively at the end with realization. It's that moment where he goes from shy and uncomfortable to just being really open.

[@yma0evelyn]

About 13:31 the body language changes and he goes from being ashamed to almost playful. A lot of Teal's clients do it. They separate themselves from the trauma and start to see it as an entity to be understood, if you like. It's that sudden switch where she breaks down a barrier and they suddenly forget they are on stage and get real. Let me know if you can see it.

[@listeningbird]

Wow! Powerful! Courageous!
