Posted @withregram @jeniferfreedy.psychotherapist Trauma is much more than a mind, thought, or behaviour issue. And, it's healing requires more than talk, logic, or behaviour-based interventions. #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthMentalWealth #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthAdvocate #MentalHealthCommunity #MentalHealthSupport #MentalHealthCounseling #MentalHealthIsImportant #TherapistsOfInstagram #TherapistLife #TherapyWorks #TherapyIsCool #Psychology #Psychotherapy #EmotionalIntelligence #Mindfulness #EmotionRegulation #SelfCare #SelfCompassion #SelfHealing #SelfAcceptance #SelfEmpowerment #EndTheStigma

Posted @withregram @the.holistic.psychologist Many of us become highly emotionally activated when our childhood attachment wounding is triggered. Attachment wounding comes from our relationships with parent-figures. When there’s mistrust, betrayal, or a consistent inability for a parent to meet our emotional needs as children we carry this wounding into adulthood. So does our nervous system.... This looks like being hyper vigilant in romantic relationships, having consistent fear of betrayal or abandonment, avoidance or inability to truly connect. We can begin to confuse our nervous system responses as sexual attraction. We can also mistake a lack of nervous system activation with a partner as a lack of sexual attraction. Especially if we grew up with homes with chaos, instability, or emotional abandonment. Healing involves the process of becoming consciously aware to how our mind + body are responding. Reflections: 1. When do I find myself most attracted to this person? 2. Am I becoming activated by fear of abandonment, or am I feeling true (consistent) connection? 3. Am I seeking to be seen + heard by this person or am I seeking to be chosen? 4. Does this relationship means betraying parts of myself in order to be loved? 5. Is there an emotional addiction involved in the relationship with highs + lows? #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthMentalWealth #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthAdvocate #MentalHealthCommunity #MentalHealthSupport #MentalHealthCounseling #MentalHealthIsImportant #TherapistsOfInstagram #TherapistLife #TherapyWorks #TherapyIsCool #Psychology #Psychotherapy #EmotionalIntelligence #Mindfulness #EmotionRegulation #SelfCare #SelfCompassion #SelfHealing #SelfAcceptance #SelfEmpowerment #EndTheStigma

Posted @withregram @the.holistic.psychologist Our parent-figures teach us boundaries. They teach us by how they model them, themselves. Boundaries are our clear limits. They allow us to connect in healthy ways while also keeping our autonomy. I grew up in a home where there was severe enmeshment enmeshment is a lack of boundaries.... When my mom felt an emotion, we all felt an emotion. There was no space, no allowing for different emotions, + lots of group think we Lepera’s like x or we don’t do x. There was also a lot of triangulation which often happens when there’s lack of emotional boundaries. My mom would get angry with one of us + go into silent treatment. My dad would be involved, passing notes if she needed to tell us something. In homes without boundaries, there is no such thing as disagreement or conflict that doesn’t involve the whole family unit. Of course, none of the copdendency conditioning seemed abnormal to me. It’s what I was used to. It’s no wonder that as an adults I didn’t have clear boundaries. I didn’t understand them. I would feel waves of guilt + fear for even wanting time or space to myself. Most of us have to relearn boundaries as adults. We have to come to see them as an act of loving self-care, not punishment or abandonment. Holidays can show us a LOT about the boundaries (or lack) we’ve had growing up.
