The way forward is through ..... learn to lean in and welcome all of your beautiful emotions, allow them space to express themselves, listen to their messages, take action based on what you are learning from them. 🩷

Learn to welcome all emotions with equal measures of acceptance - as humans we are designed to feel the full gamete of emotions available to us. It's in our histories that we learn some emotions are more acceptable than others. When we can be with everything that arises, and be curious, grounded in our adult selves, we can deepen into our authenticity and self-identity and express ourselves more fully in our relationships. 🫶

🎤1st step to staying true to your sense of self in relationship is to get very real and honest with yourself about the lies and BS you tell yourself that sabotage your sense of worth, sense of being lovable or being enough.

Not always easy, and it is necessary. So have at it - do an audit on your own BS!

🫶Love yourself.

🛑Please stop waiting to be 'chosen' in a partner relationship - instead focus on choosing yourself and accepting yourself fully. All aspects of yourself - the light the shadow, the shiny bits, the bits you'd prefer to hide from yourself and the world.

🫶When you choose yourself, and all of your wonders, you're in an empowered position to be in charge of your esteem, worth and sense of self and sense of lovability.

🩷When you choose you, stay true to you, accept all of yourself, the illusion of needing to being chosen by another to be worthy or loveable, dissipates.

Yes it's a delight when we are seen, cherished, loved, wanted by another. However, with free will and choice, anyone external to us can withdraw that at any time.

💜Being chosen day by day, moment by moment, is an inside job. Love yourself!

⏱ Dedicate time each day to go within, learn about yourself, cultivate radical self-acceptance for all the wonderful ways that you are uniquely you.

🫶When you stumble on thoughts, feelings, patterns, beliefs, triggers that move you away from being connected and loving to yourself, pause and take some time to gently explore that part. How can you stay curious and lean in and connect to yourself?

🫂The more accepting you are of all of your parts the more self-love will arise and the more you'll be able to lean in authentically into your partner relationship.

🩷 Become an avid auditor of what you think, believe, feel, and how it influences your actions or lack of actions in the direction of self-love.

🥰 Self-love is required to be in healthy, secure partnership that deepens and expands across time.

It starts with you! 🫶

When you’re in relationship to somebody that you care about, start to look at aspects of yourself that you might give away, where you might not fully show up as yourself ..... 🫶

Awareness is the 1st step to coming more into your authentic self-identity when in connection to meaningful other/s. 🫂

Let's get CURIOUS ......🤔

Think it ..... use it in your sentences and see how many more possibilities open up for connection, communication, problem-solving, repair after rupture.

Being CURIOUS is a superpower. 👏🦸🦸‍♀️

Be empowered by leaning into your triggers! 🩷

Clients often ask for tools to not be triggered, and I always say it isn't about not being triggered, it's about building the muscle to be able to welcome, invite in, embrace the triggers when they do come (as the will), and have the skill set to be able to navigate triggers as and when as they arise in our lives.

❓A question I often get asked in couples therapy sessions from one or both people is:

"How do I get my sense of self back in the relationship?" 🌸

A starting question to ponder is:

"What are the reasons why you have lost your sense of self?" 🫶

I'd love to hear your thoughts on why you can sometimes lose your sense of self in relationship .... drop a comment! 🖍✏️
