"Look what you made me do!" is the catchphrase of emotionally manipulative people that take no accountability.

Do you feel the need to disconnect for a while and recharge, or are you in the need for a little more disco? We have wonderful manager parts that work hard for us, and we also have parts known as firefighter parts that help us to disconnect and have fun. Both are important for a balanced life.

Therapy can be really hard for the first few months. If you have spent a lifetime avoiding your pain, feeling it can be horrible as you come to terms with the reality that you've been denying. However when the past actually starts to be processed and healed- the lightness, freedom and new ways of living that is possible can be so worth it. The Trauma Educator

When we start to really see that very little of the argument with our partner is about the current content, and is much more to do with unresolved pain from the past, we can start to 'unblend' from parts of us that hold the pain, and speak instead with kindness from the heart.
Thanks

Practice these ways to communicate from the , rather than letting the 4 horsemen of relationship doom (criticism, defensiveness, stonewalling and contempt) creep in.

Thanks Kati Morton for this post. My parts that grieve different phases of life feel a lot of permission with this post. For example I have a teenage part that really grieves not partying as much these days. She feels genuine sadness remembering all that fun had that isn't in the best interest of my whole system anymore. Do you have any examples from your life?

Loving this from Cliterally The Best They said "Consent is an ongoing conversation, not a debt to be repaid."

Heard of 'No-Nut November'? Tried it? An internet challenge presented to men as a way to regain focus and overall well being by not ma********ng. Despite spending years in a Ta***ic community that advocated for the benefits of retention- as a clinical sexologist- I now know that there are no scientific evidence of the benefits of semen retention for the general population. A recent study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine specifically looked 'No-Nut November' and found that participating in this challenge shows the participants have some sexual flexibility, which is a quality related to sexual wellbeing, but that the practice of stopping ma********ng was not found to have any benefits, nor negative consequences.

Not a clinical measuring tool- but definitely informative.

The circling, painful, exhilarating, surprising journey of coming home to who you really are.

Of course I would edit this to say 'unhealed parts of us..' instead of 'unhealed person'. Once our parts have released their burdens of pain, reactive protector parts don't need to scan the environment for threat or offense.
