Loneliness is a state of mind.

Having a large circle of friends is not as important as having close ones.

Loneliness comes from
❌the lack of connection with ourselves
❌ the lack of connection with others

Identifying who or what makes us feel lonely is important.

✅COMMUNICATION and CONNECTION is necessary to lead a healthy life. Suffering from loneliness is somewhat like suffering from physical pain.

If this feeling is constant then it is recommended to talk to a therapist at Samvedna Wellbeing.

There's a thin line between feeling empathetic and over empathetic.

✅Empathy is the ability to understand someone's feelings.
✅Over empathy is when one feels someone's feelings, lives their emotions and feels equally responsible to cope with them.

One may develop a tendency of wanting to fix their problems to make them feel better. This may lead to one feeling burnt out which will defeat the purpose of trying to be a shoulder for them. We individually experience various emotions.

🤕Taking on others' emotions can be harmful for our mental health.

Have you ever experienced the feeling of not being good enough?

Self-doubt stems from the lack of belief in oneself which results in a constant state of "I'm not good enough".

The cause is low self-worth based on how others treat us or how we treat ourselves.

The most common traits are the
✅Inability to give oneself credit
✅Inability to accept accomplishment (imposter syndrome).

Most of us experience self-doubt because it is also a feedback system wherein it increases curiosity to do better.

However, it is important to recognize & understand it in order to act upon it.📆

The well-known Psychiatrist Dr. Stephen Porges's polyvagal theory, which offers revolutionary insights into trauma and the body's stress response, Polyvagal theory gave wonderful insight and helped to understand just how it is that trauma lives in the body and continues to shape our world.

Polyvagal refers to the vagus nerve, which connects the brain and the gut. The vagus nerve has many branches of sensory fibers that run throughout the rest of the body - from the brain stem to the heart, lungs, and ge****ls, you name it - connecting every major organ to the brain.

Why the body reacts so swiftly when we're stressed❓The location and function of these nerves
Also, the Question arises:
✅why do our hearts race when we run into an ex?
✅why do feelings of panic make us feel short of breath?
✅why do some people start losing consciousness out of the blue?

During the state of homeostasis, the vagus nerve acts as a 'neutral break', keeping us calm and open, helping us be our most social selves. Thus, when the vagus nerve is activated and it enters its defensive system, fight-or-flight responses can manifest themselves almost immediately.

Nervous system dysregulation describes symptoms that come from repeated activation or extended periods of stress on the nervous system.

Ideally, when we have stress our nervous system responds and then returns to a baseline state of balance. If our nervous system cannot regulate, we cannot recover from stress and we may actually experience activation and shutdown symptoms ⁣
⁣
The hormones triggered by a standard stress response make individuals with stressed out nervous systems feel wired yet exhausted at the same time. They usually carry this tension into their sleep. It means you'll have a hard time in managing your emotions. There's no buffer zone
for you to consider how you'd like to respond - you're more likely to impulsively react.

Your window is tolerance for managing emotions is too small and you're easily pulled in freeze or crisis mode. ⁣

⁣❤️‍🩹Healing the nervous system is really important in restoring balance to our body.

How to manage NSD👇🏻
✅Trauma releasing exercises⁣
✅Practising deep belly breathing ⁣
✅Finding safety in the present moment⁣
✅Gut health⁣
✅Connection(co-regulation)⁣
✅ Meditation

⁣Can you relate to this? Have you experienced these possible symptoms previously when stressed for prolonged periods?

Avoidant attachment types are extremely independent, self-directed, and often uncomfortable with intimacy. They’re commitment-phobes and experts at rationalizing their way out of any intimate situation. They regularly complain about feeling “crowded” or “suffocated” when people try to get close to them. They are often paranoid that others want to control them or box them in.

What Avoidant Attachment can sound like:

➡️I prefer to keep to myself when I’m around my partner.
➡️I don’t talk to my partner about my feelings.
➡️I don’t give my partner the chance to let me down.
➡️I don’t want to be around my partner if I’m feeling upset.
➡️I wouldn’t care if my partner left me.

What does a secure attachment look like in a relationship?

Empathetic and able to set appropriate boundaries, people with secure attachment tend to feel safe, stable, and more satisfied in their close relationships. While they don’t fear being on their own, they usually thrive in close, meaningful relationships.

Having a secure attachment style doesn’t mean one is perfect or one doesn’t experience relationship problems. But one likely feels secure enough to take responsibility for their own mistakes and failings, and are willing to seek help and support when you need it.

💕One appreciates their own self-worth and are able to be yourself in an intimate relationship. They’re comfortable expressing their feelings, hopes, and needs.
💕They find satisfaction in being with others, openly seek support and comfort from their partner, but don’t get overly anxious when the two are apart.
💕Remain similarly happy for their partner to rely on themselves for support.
💕They’re able to maintain their emotional balance and seek healthy ways to manage conflict in a close relationship.
💕When faced with disappointment, setbacks, and misfortune in their relationships as well as other parts of their life, they’re resilient enough to bounce back.

Transformation begins when we start reparenting ourselves. 🤞🏻

So many of us grew up in homes where we didn’t witness healthy boundaries, healthy ways to regulate our emotions, and how to take care of ourselves.
This is completely common and normal. We can’t know what we weren’t modeled.

🤍When I talk about needs, many people don’t know what their needs are. Also normal! Most of us have been unconsciously taught to deny our own needs or to betray those needs to be loved.

💞Reparenting is the process of re-learning new patterns. It’s the process of going inward, of meeting yourself, or learning to show up in new ways. It takes time, commitment, and patience. There is no quick fix. It will require you to show up every day. But it will allow you to heal and forgive.

⏩️The 4 Pillars of reparenting are: Discipline, Joy, Emotional Regulation, and Self-care.

Most of us can only recall important events in our childhood. The inner child tends to be pushed aside when we grow up and develop our identity as an adult. However, the unresolved hurtful feelings that we have carried since childhood still reside in our memories and body, whether we are aware of them or not.

💞Reparenting is giving your adult self what you didn't get from your parents in childhood.

We can start reparenting ourselves by identifying what we need. What didn't you learn in childhood? Which of your emotional needs weren't met?

Here are social-emotional needs to give your inner child while reparenting yourself:
1. Self Care
2. Acceptance
3. Self-Soothing
4. Self-Discipline
5. Resiliency
6. Self-Compassion

Physical boundaries are easy to observe, touch, and feel. Your bedroom has a door. Your backyard has a fence. Your city has a city-limits and so on. Physical boundaries have different shapes and looks, but they all communicate the same message- a LINE or a LIMIT.

Boundaries are your values, expectations, principles, or limits that you establish to keep yourself feeling safe physically, emotionally, and mentally.

How do you set your boundaries?
📌Recognize you deserve to be treated with respect. You are a worthwhile person!

📌Define and acknowledge what boundaries you may or may not have already set in your relationship.
📌Recognise what boundaries you would like to set in place. What are your needs and wants?

📌Communicate your boundaries in a respectful manner and respect others’ boundaries.

📌For more information on setting boundaries, book a session with our expert at Samwedna Wellbeing.

We idolize those who keep their independence intact and we make fun of those who are too dependent.

The truth is, EXTREMES are never healthy, but there’s a middle ground between them. That middle ground is INTERDEPENDENCE.

Traits of codependency in real life can look like:
➡️Being overly self-sacrificing
➡️Not having respect for other people’s right to be separate or self-determined
➡️Giving until it hurts and going above and beyond, even when you’re not asked to
➡️Always ready to jump into damage control mode
➡️Feeling responsible for fixing other people’s problems
➡️Being judgmental of others because deep down, you believe you have all the right answers
➡️Feeling exhausted, resentful, and bitter
Getting frustrated or angry when others don’t take your advice.
➡️Feeling personally offended and/or confused if someone doesn’t share your beliefs or opinions

⭐️Codependency is much more common than we think. From anxiety to fear of abandonment, many of us carry wounds and fears from past relationships that deeply affect our lives.

♥️But it’s worth it, because loving and being loved is priceless.

A trigger is an unhealed emotional wound. The level of emotions you experience gives you insight into how long the trigger has gone suppressed.

It’s not that triggers are bad, they actually give us an opportunity to observe and reflect which enables us to heal.

If this sounds simple, it’s because it is. At the same time it’s so difficult to practice because we are having a subconscious reaction during an emotional trigger.

In healing triggers, we change the way we perceive the world around us and our interactions with the people in it. If we can identify triggers and separate ourselves from the emotional reaction, we gain insight.
