This is the manager’s way of protecting you, especially those tender little parts of you that got hurt in some way.

For example, if little you feels defective or not good enough, your managers might be highly perfectionistic, making sure you always get stuff done and get it done well, so no-one can criticise or judge you, seeing through to the (imagined) worthlessness inside.

Healing is always possible. Don’t give up. ❤️

We know from all the research that attachment styles can change over a lifetime and you can move from insecure to more secure, especially if you get some therapeutic help with that.

As ever, my message to you is: don’t give up. However daunting it may seem, however hard you have tried, however many therapists/partners you have been through, please do persevere.

Like all mammals, human infants have an attachment system in their brain, which primes them to attach from the first seconds of life.

To feel securely attached, children need to feel: warmth, love, care, safety, attunement. If you received all these key emotional nutrients as a child and felt securely attached, this would allow you to develop a secure attachment style as an adult.

Sadly, the other half of humanity has an insecure attachment style, which is either anxious or avoidant or, which we commonly see in kids with a highly traumatic or neglectful family of origin.

People with an avoidant attachment style often find relationships tricky, because they need a lot of space, feel easily suffocated or hemmed in when their partner wants them to commit, be vulnerable and emotionally available.

Wishing you a calm and peaceful week ahead. 🍂❤️

This is a lesson I constantly teach my clients, especially when they get frustrated or impatient with the pace of progress. Healing cannot be rushed. ❤️‍🩹

I am a very patient person, most of the time, but I do have moments of extreme impatience. Snail-paced drivers or pavement-cloggers when I’m in a hurry. People who can’t seem to do their jobs, when I need them to.

But it’s also a great lesson, because if you are struggling with something – and it’s here, whether you want it to be or not – you can either fight it and be grumpy every day or find your way to a mindful, patient acceptance. 😌

Let us be grateful for and enjoy every moment, even if we are suffering, because whether we are anxious, depressed or in pain, we are alive. And that is a truly remarkable thing. 💚

The fact that you and I are even alive right now depends on an infinite number of improbable occurrences, from the Big Bang until this very second. ✨

A seminal study in 2013 researched the impact of IFS on people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.

The study found that IFS not only reduced depression and increased self-compassion in a majority of participants, it also helped with their pain and physical function.

So it makes sense that you are a complex mind-body system, which is interconnected in a million tiny ways. 🧠
