7 Toxic family behaviors that are normalized by society. “A gentle reminder when using the word toxic, is that BEHAVIORS are toxic”

04/03/2022

What is manipulation “Manipulation at its core is a fear based response that is used when a person doesn’t trust themselves + believes they need to control the behavior of people around them to cope. When manipulating people, the person is attempting to control a narrative of their own creation.

Many of us have been around people who use manipulation since we were children so we struggle with discernment. Learning discernment is a powerful practice that will allow you to navigate manipulation with an inner power + boundaries.

UNDERSTANDING MANIPULATION:

1. Emotionally healthy people do not tell you who to interact with, who to speak to, follow online, or what to believe. They respect your boundaries + your personal autonomy.

2. Emotionally healthy people will always trust your reality or perspective + will not claim to be all knowing or an authority of the truth. They’ll respect that you are your OWN best expert.

3. Your past or vulnerable things you’ve shared will not be shared by a person whose safe

4. Tolerance or acceptance of different realities is a sign of a safe, secure, person you can trust

5. Manipulation + emotional immaturity tend to go hand in hand. Emotionally mature people don’t tell you your feelings are projections, are the result of your childhood trauma, or that you would feel differently if you were “healed.” We are all human + there is no hierarchy on healing

6. Safe people can tolerance differences + allow you to be yourself even if they feel uncomfortable”the holistic psychologist

A Feeling you can Name,
Is a feeling you can Tame. 💜

'If you have a history of people pleasing + codependency (like me) when someone’s in grief we can immediately go into “fix” mode.

We might give suggestions or advice on what someone should do. We might compare our own experiences. We might say “it could be worse” in an attempt to get them to look at the bright side.

The problem is, this feels very invalidating.

Think back to when you experienced a crisis + someone did this to you. Did you feel seen or heard. Did you feel safe? Did you feel acknowledged?

You probably just felt shut down.

Let’s normalize allowing people to share their experiences/emotions without us trying to change them— even when it’s uncomfortable.

Let’s get curious + just ask “how would YOU best feel supported right now?”

Let’s me honest: “I can’t imagine what you’re going through + don’t know what to say. Would you like me to just sit with you in silence?

I’m interested, what has made you feel supported or not supported while in grief?’ The Holistic Psychologist

8 ways to respond to an apology by Dr. Nahla

08/12/2021

How to work through being triggered. “Culturally, we make fun of people who are triggered. “Triggered!” is a common joke in our collective which speaks to our overall emotional maturity.

Being triggered or emotionally activated is a normal, natural part of human life. In any day, we can be triggered in many different ways to different degrees.

Because so few of us have been modeled how to work through difficult emotions, many of us become hostile, defensive, shut down, or abusive when we are triggered. This is because we don’t know how to regulate our emotions. We’ve entered a survival, threat state.

In this space clear communication doesn’t exist.

ALL of us are capable of working through our triggers. Of getting curious with them. Of doing the work to self soothe so that we no longer exist in cycles of anger, shame, + guilt” the holistic psychologist

5 emotional skills to mastery. “We are all children in adult bodies. We learn algebra + English, but few of us know how to: communicate, express our emotions, process them (most of us even know emotions need to be processed or they stay trapped in the body.)

Many of us aren’t aware that we avoid certain emotions all together or fear them.

At the same time, we so desperately want to vulnerably connect emotionally with others. It’s one of our core needs. If you observe adults in conflict it often looks like the same behavior we see with children: screaming, name calling, sulking, stomping off, or completely ignoring the situation all together.

Because we aren’t modeled emotional maturity or awareness, we need to PRACTICE.

This involves doing the inner work to understand our OWN emotions. To learn how they move through the body. To feel how we respond (or react) based on what emotion we are feeling.

It’s important to remember this isn’t about judging yourself, comparing, or expecting perfection. It’s about learning to witness your emotions, to experience them rather than becoming them (“I AM mad”) + developing the emotional maturity needed to have authentic relationships” the holistic psychologist

10 Fun Facts About The Brain

1) Signs of successful brain surgeries go as far back as the Stone Age.

2) An adult brain weighs about 3 pounds.

3) About 75 percent of the brain is made up of water. This means that dehydration, even in small amounts, can have a negative effect on the brain functions.

4) The largest brain of any animal is that of the s***m whale. It weighs about 20 pounds.

5) The human brain will grow three times its size in the first year of life. It continues to grow until you’re about 18 years old.

6) Headaches are caused by a chemical reaction in your brain combined with the muscles and nerves of your neck and head.

7) The brain of a human contains approximately one hundred billion neurons

8) It is a myth that humans only use 10 percent of our brain. We actually use all of it. We’re even using more than 10 percent when we sleep.

9) Cholesterol is key to learning and memory. However, high cholesterol has different effects depending on your age and other factors.

10) Information runs between neurons in your brain for everything we see, think, or do.

These neurons move information at different speeds. The fastest speed for information to pass between neurons is about 250 mph.

Emotional healing is the ability to take proper control of the painful thoughts, feelings and emotions so that they do not interfere with the present moments. Emotional healing is a process of accepting all the painful life experiences and the negative emotional reaction which is generated from them.

“Many psychiatric disorders are actually nutritional deficiencies that have not been detected.

The symptoms of vitamin deficiencies mimic the same symptoms of psychiatric disorders.

B vitamin levels impact nervous system health and the making of neurotransmitters.

You can get a blood test to see if you have low levels of this vitamin.

Also be aware that 30-50% of the population has something called MUTHER— a genetic mutation that doesn’t allow the body to convert folate (B9). This mutation requires supplementation.

Low folate levels have been linked to depression; anxiety, + panic disorders.

See a holistic or functional medicine doctor if you’d like specific guidance on what to eat, how to supplement, or anything about gene mutation.

I’m sharing this information because it’s extremely important + overlooked in mainstream mental health treatment.

As always, do your research + become empowered.

Some of the things you need to know about empathy. “When we are empathetic to the struggles, pain, and experiences of others, we are more likely to be fueled to fight for change. So, let’s talk about empathy 🧠”

11/11/2021

“Many vitamins play key roles in preventing and easing depression. The most important are folate (B9) and B12. Their functions in the body are inextricably linked: a deficiency in vitamin B12 results in a folate deficiency, which can ultimately contribute to a loss of brain cells, chiefly those located in the hippocampus. Termed “hippocampal atrophy,” this loss of brain cells is associated with depression. The hippocampus is a critical brain structure that plays an important role in learning and memory, so depressed patients may lose their ability to learn new ways to cope with their stress.
In patients with folate deficiency, depression is the most common symptom. In fact, studies have demonstrated that the higher one’s folate level, the lower one’s level of depression. In addition to its role in the hippocampus, folate may also affect serotonin synthesis, and in depression, serotonin is often low.
Hence, both vitamin B12 and folate should be optimized to prevent or
treat depression.” From Dr. Uma Naidoo MD book “This is your brain on food”

Ghosting, or suddenly disappearing from someone’s life without so much as a call, email, or text, has become a common phenomenon in the modern world, and also in other social and professional settings.

Some people seem to go off the grid for long periods of time before getting back to you, so it may not be a big deal if they don’t respond very quickly. But if they are usually responsive and suddenly stop calling or texting you back for an unusually long period of time, you may have been ghosted.

Here are some ways you can help yourself confront and accept your feelings about being ghosted:

Set boundaries first. Honesty and transparency can help you and the other person make sure no lines are crossed unknowingly.
Give the person a time limit. Haven’t heard from them for a few weeks or months and are tired of waiting? Give them an ultimatum. For example, you can send them a message asking them to call or text in the next week, or you’ll assume the relationship is over. This can seem harsh, but it can give you closure and restore lost feelings of control or power.
Don’t automatically blame yourself. You have no evidence or context for concluding why the other person left the relationship, so don’t get down on yourself and cause yourself further emotional harm.
Don’t “treat” your feelings with substance abuse. Don’t numb the pain with drugs, alcohol, or other quick highs.
Spend time with friends or family. Seek the companionship of people whom you trust and with whom you share mutual feelings of love and respect.
Seek professional help. Don’t be afraid to reach out to a therapist or counselor who can help you articulate the complex feelings you may have.

How to deal with emotionally reactive people “Emotionally reactive people tend to go from 0-60 emotionally.

They have “big” or what looks like extreme reactions to their own emotions causing them to yell, lash out, or react in overwhelming ways.

This is a powerful practice for dealing with emotional reactivity.

Remember, when you witness the person, view them as if you were watching a movie. Many times, emotionally reactive people try to “bait” us or connect through heightened emotions. Witnessing helps us just watch, rather than engage.

Also, remember that people’s reactions to their emotions are for THEM. We are not responsible or handing or accepting another persons emotional state” holistic psychologist

Social anxiety is not shyness or being introverted… Here is a nice summary, take a look.

27/09/2021

Unwanted intrusive thoughts are reinforced by getting entangled with them, worrying about them, struggling against them, trying to reason them away. They are also made stronger by trying to avoid them. Leave the thoughts alone, treat them as if they are not even interesting, and they will eventually fade into the background.

Here are steps for changing your attitude and overcoming Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts

Label these thoughts as "intrusive thoughts."
Remind yourself that these thoughts are automatic and not up to you.
Accept and allow the thoughts into your mind. Do not try to push them away.
Float, and practice allowing time to pass.
Remember that less is more. Pause. Give yourself time. There is no urgency.
Expect the thoughts to come back again
Continue whatever you were doing prior to the intrusive thought while allowing the anxiety to be present.

Try Not To:

Engage with the thoughts in any way.
Push the thoughts out of your mind.
Try to figure out what your thoughts "mean."
Check to see if this is “working” to get rid of the thoughts. Source: anxiety and depression association of america.
