Moving with Love: Exercise as Self-Love, Not Self-Hate 💕🏋️‍♀️

To move like you love your body rather than hate it is to approach exercise from a place of self-compassion, respect, and a genuine desire for holistic well-being. It means shifting the focus from external appearance or weight loss to nurturing your body, mind, and soul.

🌟 Exercise as a Celebration of Strength: Instead of pushing yourself to exercise because you dislike your body, exercise becomes a celebration of what your body can do. It's about feeling empowered and appreciating the amazing capabilities your body possesses.

🧘‍♀️ Mindful Movement: Exercising with self-love involves being present in the moment and tuning into your body's needs. Listen to how you feel during the workout, and honor what feels good for your unique body.

🌿 Nourishing, Not Punishing: Choosing activities that bring you joy and make you feel good rather than forcing yourself into grueling workouts becomes the focus. Exercise becomes a way to nourish your body and soul, not a punishment for perceived flaws.

💗 Embracing Your Body: Rather than striving for a specific body image, exercise for self-love means embracing and accepting your body as it is. It's about fostering a positive relationship with your body and practicing self-acceptance.

🌱 Body-Positive Community: Surround yourself with a supportive, body-positive community that values self-love and wellness beyond appearance. Share your journey with like-minded individuals who uplift and inspire you. Like this account 💖

Remember, you deserve love, care, and respect, no matter where you are on your journey. 💖🌈

To heal in a way that allows you to hear what's being said without the filter of your own trauma and wounds means finding inner peace and resolution.

It involves acknowledging and addressing the emotional scars and past hurts that might influence how you perceive and interpret communication.

When you carry unresolved trauma and wounds, they act as filters through which you experience the world, including what others say to you. These filters can distort the message, triggering emotional reactions, misinterpretations, or defensiveness. True healing requires:

Self-awareness:

Processing emotions

Self-compassion

Setting boundaries

Open communication

Practice empathy

As you progress in healing, you'll gradually notice the filters of trauma and wounds starting to dissolve. This newfound clarity allows you to hear what's being said in a more objective and authentic way, free from the distortion of past pain. Ultimately, healing creates space for deeper connections and more meaningful relationships. 🌱💕

Please send us an email at enquiries@lcsrtherapy.com to learn more about processing trauma so that you can hear ore clearly as not to hear through the filter of your trauma.

Trauma makes you tolerate a lot of stuff you don't deserve because you don't want to lose people.

Healing makes you realise some people don't deserve to be in your life, no matter how much you love them.

Real talk, in fact some people come into your life to tell you how you shouldn't be!

Did you know that safe relationships can feel boring after being in abusive ones?

The hardest thing to hear is that after a toxic relationship ship, a healthy one is going to be so much different from what they expected.

It’s not going to be fiery, and exciting, or a-thousand-miles-a-minute. Nope. Healthy relationships don’t work that way. In fact, for those of us who have only known chaos…finally finding stable love can feel like the most boring thing in the world.

It’s going to feel so much more boring and foreign than you realise. Why? There’s a total lack of chaos, and you’ll have to teach yourself to understand that this is actually love.

Having truly fulfilling s♥️x where you feel safe, connected and in complete agency requires an unlearning of may ideas concepts ad definitions that no longer sere us.

We are constantly inundated with messages about how s✨x should look, feel and be had.

Often we just believe these misinformed narratives because have no other options to consider and we hear them so much that they become truth.

But they are not truth. They are just thoughts and ideas and opinions.

YOU can choose exactly how you think and feel and what you believe about YOUR s✨xual experiences.

Trust yourself. Listen to your body. Little by little it gets easier to actually choose what it is you believe about s✨x and leave the rest at the door.

This will lead to more fulfilling s✨x overall.

And more fulfilling s✨x leads to feeling more connected and empowered and embodied. So really it’s a win win. 😉🌸

Please send us an email at enquiries@lcsrtherapy.com to learn more about how you can get in touch with your s*xual desires and communicate them in a healthy way to your partner or future partners.

Stop Saying ‘I’m Sorry’ When Hearing of Someone’s Divorce

Next time, instead of defaulting to “I’m sorry” when hearing of someone's divorce, consider whether the divorced or divorcing person might be ready for encouragement or congratulations on the achievement.

In the words of comedian Louis C. K., “Someday, one of your friends is going to get divorced, it’s going to happen, and they’re going to tell you. So don’t go, ‘ohhhh I’m sorry.’ That’s a stupid thing to say. First of all, you’re making them feel bad about being really happy, which isn’t fair.

And second of all: divorce is always good news. I know that sounds weird, but it’s true because no good marriage has ever ended in divorce. It’s really that simple.” In my opinion, congratulations may be in order.

When a relationship is built on multiple sacrifices, it can quickly lead to one person feeling like they aren't being heard, like their needs aren't getting met, and like they are just a placeholder for the other party. This is another reason why a relationship where one party is asked to sacrifice a lot won't work, but a relationship where both parties compromise will.

If you are starting to feel really resentful about all the things you are being asked to give up, you're probably experiencing the resentment that comes from repeatedly sacrificing something for your relationship.

Although total sacrifice is sometimes necessary for a relationship to work, these situations are rare. More often, you and your partner should be having healthy discussions and figuring out how the two of you can tackle problems together, instead of one person unfairly shouldering all of the burden.

If you are in a relationship where you feel like you are sacrificing all the time or sacrificing too much, the best thing to do is talk to your partner about how you can get back to a healthy place. If that doesn't work, unfortunately, you just may not be in the right relationship for you

When you get older and have more relationship experiences, you will eventually experience a situation where you need to walk away from somebody you still love.

We’ve been conditioned to believe that love is all you need for a great relationship, but that’s not true.

Love is about mutual respect, compassion, empathy, and kindness. Having values that align and shared goals for the future, that matter the most, and love alone just isn’t enough.

Are you familiar with the term “trauma bond”?

While it may seem like bonding over a shared trauma, trauma bonding is actually a characteristic of many abusive relationships.

It’s a deep emotional attachment to an abuser and often the main reason why people can’t leave them.

Trauma bonding is more likely to develop in those who have a history of abuse, exploitation, or emotional codependency in their past relationships.

Trauma bonds can be mistaken for feelings of love and commitment, but here are eight signs that tell you it’s not love but a trauma bond The abuser is outwardly charming, sweet, caring, and trustworthy.

The abuser is emotionally unpredictable and manipulative, showering you with kindness and apologies to make you second guess leaving them. The abuser tends to take their problems out on you. The abuser isolates you from your loved ones. You deny or minimize their abusive behaviour towards you.

You make excuses for them. You feel like you can’t live without them.

You fear what they will do if you leave. If you recognize these signs, know that you can break the trauma bond.

It’s important to understand that the bond is not your fault, and it’s okay to reach out for help.

Remember, you deserve better than to be stuck in a toxic, abusive relationship.

Stretch marks are completely normal and natural! They appear when our bodies go through changes like growth spurts, pregnancy, weight gain, or muscle development. They're a testament to the strength and resilience of our bodies. So, let's shift the conversation and learn to love them for what they are – beautiful reminders of the incredible things we've experienced. 💪🏽❤️

Instead of trying to hide or erase them, let's embrace our stretch marks with open arms! They are a part of who we are, and they don't define our worth or beauty. Every single one of us is unique, and our stretch marks add to our individuality and authenticity. They are not flaws, but rather, they're like works of art painted on our skin, reminding us of our journey and growth. 🎨✨

If you are constantly being told you are “trying to argue” when you bring up your negative feelings about a relationship, then you are in a bad dynamic.

Just because it’s normal in your relationship doesn’t mean it’s normal behaviour.

Bringing up issues should never lead to painful arguments and feeling like you’re the problem because you brought them up.

Healthy relationships include hard conversations and bringing up problems to resolve them like mature adults.

If you are trauma bonded, when you leave the narcissist, you feel you lose no matter what.

But if you stay you will keep losing, walking away and getting the support you need to heal from the abuse will eventually get better and easier.
