When You Begin Setting Boundaries & You're Punished For It| Cptsd Recovery

[@cptsdrecovery]

Hello Friends!! This is a tiny excerpt from the live group coaching meeting we had this past Friday - make sure you watch to the end to enjoy the 3-5 minute exercise to strengthen your felt sense of safety (something trauma steals from you). And remember - if you have been watching videos for a long time but still struggle with the side effects of trauma... make sure to check out our live zoom meetings in the School of Transformation. If you don't want to commit for the year (although I honestly feel that those that do experience the most shifts!!!!) you can always come and try it for a month, I'll leave the link here for you to see if it's a good fit for you😀www.micheleleenieves.com/school-of-transformation

Belly breathing while the chest stays still helps me feel calm maybe it helps others too.

I have a friend of 18 years recently disappoint me. I got a new job with an office and travel perks and she was clearly jealous and not really happy for me. I pointed it that I didn't feel valued and how I was confused by her behavior and she just threw it back at me and accused me of things.

I hear u. Sorry it happened to you. 💞Not everyone is growing at ur pace … can’t keep up with u … these things trigger people … often at subconscious level & they simply react. But we can’t make everyone happy … particularly if it involves playing small or not being our best. We sigh … we grieve … make peace with it and we move on. I have lost too many friends n family over the decades…. the only truth is they r still there where I left them & I have been continuously moving on my soul’s journey. ✨✨✨✨💖

@@gurkiranmg thank you, that's a good point. I think our jealousy or these responses are sometimes subconscious and yeah it does show that we've outgrown each other. It is hard, but I've learned that it's important to be my own bff and if someone's not happy for me oh well. I do want to be a better friend and have deeper connections in my life though.

What is the difference between a boundary and rejection? I would guess that it has something to do with clearly defining/explaining the boundary. One person’s belief that they are being emotionally punished can be another person having no idea what’s going on and feeling extremely uncomfortable. Especially if one felt the boundary was a strong public display/example, quite different from previous long term behavior. Especially if they previously attempted to suggest/bring up an issue and there was no acknowledgement/communication. Also, I think the type of relationship matters a lot as well. Some professional relationships can restrict any direct communication for long periods of time, even though one might really really wish to be able to communicate. I can generally feel when something is off or has gone south on the first day. I can try to keep moving forward with as much of a positive attitude as I can muster but eventually it can feel like too much and drag me down. I wish things in life came with explanations but I guess it doesn’t always work that way.
