There's a saying 'If you always do what you've always done, then you'll always get what you've always got'
I love my comfort zone 💛 and sometimes that's where I need to be for what it says comfort, it's familiar to me and my anxiety loves it there too. But it also teaches my anxiety that anything out of this is danger!! Everytime I run back to my comfort zone it tells me I shouldn't have stepped out of my comfort zone. As I've shared I suffer with at times high functioning anxiety, I'm still navigating with it, But ive explored and I understand where it came from and now have more courage to challenge it. This is something that I never would have done several years ago. Sitting in that fear zone has been and still is scary but learning it's actually quite safe to do this. It's ongoing work and it's different to what I've always done. This is where my lived experience and my understanding can be used to help my clients I appreciate everyone's pace and experience is unique.

It's abit of a cliche that therapists 'ask about your childhood, dig up the past' I used to think the same.... 'what's the point in going over the past!....I resisted it many a time and that was my choice and fully respected by my therapist.
It's not about dragging people to go where they don't want to go, but we can learn from our past self's.
I love how this picture shows that there might be bits of our past that need to revisted again to be nourished, cared for or validated. I connected with my inner child eventually, she's actually a really sweet sensitive girl 🩷🧡 I like her 🥰
It can be a really powerful thing to do to connect with that past version of ourselves to discover, what it maybe needed at the time but, in the mist of the experience was just doing their best to survive it. That's how we make peace with ourselves and can grow ❤️ 💙 💜
