We can not control other peoples responses to our communication. Yet, it is important to acknowledge that we have needs and we all want to belong, be cared for, and understood. 💚

How can we hold space for our painful experience whilst communicating how the interaction has made us feel? ⬇️

I would say acknowledging our feelings and letting them be heard is a part of this process, but so is challenging our thoughts, exploring our attachment, expectations and boundaries. 🩵

The processing of this pain can be tricky to navigate. Maybe I can help? 💛

What does it mean to be the bigger person? ⬇️

Are we asking others to accept abuse in order to keep the peace? 🤍
Why are we asking one person and not the other? Is one person less confrontational or easier to manipulate? Perhaps more forgiving? Does that mean we are pandering to the most toxic person in the family?💛

Does it mean that we are asking one person to act maturely and think of the repercussions whilst the other is enabled to continue to act in hurtful ways? 🩵

Let's discover these answers in your life.
Reach out today! 💚

This is important to read.
Does it resonate with you?

What I also find interesting is the women who say that their partner (usually men) are ‘sexy’ if they do housework or take care of their kids properly. What is actually happening there, is that they feel less like the carer/parent dynamic and more like an equal partner so they feel more attracted to their partner again. It isn’t sexy to do housework or play with kids - lets be honest - it’s what it represents to totally downtrodden and exhausted women who yearn for an equal relationship where they don’t feel like they are someone’s mother.

How does art make you feel? 🎨⬇️

The process of exploring and finding new ways of expressing yourself and understanding yourself is a gift that art-making gives. When words cannot be spoken or understood, art talks for us.

Do you lose yourself or find yourself in art? 🎨❤️

Do you feel free? 🦋 ⬇️

I wonder if the people around you allow you to be free. Freely yourself, free to express yourself, free to voice your opinions and feelings without judgement. How about the places you go, do you feel the freedom to explore, to try things and fail and try again? Do you feel your experiences are about freedom or constriction?

What would happen if you didn't give in to fear and allowed yourself to feel free?🦋❓️
