One common misconception among people is that their relationship should feel passionate and exciting. In fact the healthiest relationships can feel boring at times. This isn’t a flaw in the relationship. It’s a sign that you feel safe, secure and peaceful.
It’s not uncommon for people that have experienced relational trauma to confuse turbulence and dysfunction for passion.

What happens when we avoid hard things? A “hard thing” can be: initiating a difficult conversation, doing something that causes you anxiety, asking for the promotion, apologizing when you’ve made a mistake, reaching out for support, etc. etc..

When we avoid hard things, we experience temporary relief, and this temporary relief tricks our brain into thinking that is why we feel better. But in the long run, we experience more anxiety and guilt, and decreased self-confidence.

So what is the antidote? It’s to feel the fear and do it anyway. Short term it will be uncomfortable, but long-term it rewires the brain to see courage as being rewarding. It leads to long lasting increases in self-confidence and it decreases guilt, shame, and anxiety.

Highs and lows, conflicting emotions, playing different roles in different situations etc. is what makes us human. Beautifully complex and messy humans 🩷

What does caring for yourself mean? It’s about actively engaging in behaviours that foster your mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and psychological well-being. Being open to self reflection can be life altering.

My “coworker” and I are wishing everyone a peaceful holiday season.🎄

I will be working a couple of days between Christmas and the New Year. I believe I still have 1 opening left on each day If you are in need of support. 🩷
