Socrates, a philosopher whose teachings influenced Stoicism, highlights the foundational importance of self-awareness. This rule emphasizes the value of understanding ourselves deeply to live a more intentional and virtuous life.

Self-awareness involves reflecting on our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and understanding how they align with our values and goals. It requires honesty and introspection, allowing us to identify areas for growth and to make conscious choices that support our development.

By cultivating self-awareness, we gain clarity on our motivations and actions. This practice enables us to respond to life’s challenges with greater wisdom and composure, improving our relationships and enhancing our overall well-being.

Smedes’ insight on forgiveness resonates with Stoic principles, emphasizing the liberation that comes from letting go of resentment. This rule highlights the importance of practicing forgiveness as a means to achieve inner peace and emotional freedom.

Forgiveness involves releasing feelings of anger and bitterness towards those who have wronged us. It is a conscious decision to move past hurt and to cultivate compassion and understanding. This practice not only benefits our emotional well-being but also strengthens our relationships.

By practicing forgiveness, we free ourselves from the burden of negative emotions and create space for healing and growth. This approach fosters a more positive and harmonious life, allowing us to focus on what truly matters.

Seneca reminds us that our fears often exceed the reality of our situations. By confronting our fears, we can reduce unnecessary suffering and live more peacefully.

📍Let's explore the power dynamics that show up in relational spaces.

📍How do you appear habitually ( on auto-pilot ) in your relationships?

📍 What are you unconscious patterns of showing up in "push-pull" relational dynamics?

📍How consciously are you or want to improve on these tendencies to show up in a healthier way with another.

📍How can you alter and make the "pursuer(demander)/distancer(withdrawer)" equation healthier?

What is your relationship with conflict?
Do you avoid confrontations, difficult conversations?
Or do you thrive in chaos? How discomforting is it to observe silence?

Maté says trauma, from the Greek for “wound”, “is not what happens to you; it is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you … It is not the blow on the head, but the concussion I get.”

That, he says, is the good news

Witnessing is the space where the practice of self observation and reflection takes place. It allows an individual to pause and

❗️helps tune into what is happening within the body

❗️To notice the different sensations, some new and other old that are often overlooked while we remain in our head.

❗️To feel the body rise up and down as you breathe and notice your breath.

❗️To notice the thoughts, that come and may take you into the past or the future or just remain fixated over some event ongoing in the present.
Your reaction and response to yourself, the chatter that you may have from time to time in your head.

❗️To acknowledge and release...

On our healing journey, we come to face and begin to identify our relational triggers. They may not be what we think they are, it goes beneath the surface or what we see or may touch upon.

It is a process where we learn to acknowledge, all the times, all the different ways, and all the different parts within, that have been harmed, neglected, excluded to name a few experiences.

Reflect on what you want, that will positively impact your lifestyle and relationships, even if for the moment it seems " a far cry out ". You will get there.
Very consciously, allow and release the habitual thoughts of what you do not want, that which would negatively impact your lifestyle. As easy as it may seem to act upon or acquire. There may be mastery in these and control which is appealing. Notice what happens when you release this. Sit with the discomfort for while.

In this, it will up for the improvements and changes one would hope for, to pan out in a more effortless or tasking way.

Marion Woodman once asked people before they began therapy with her, to agree to devote one full hour everyday to working with a journal, practicing active imagination, working with colour/paints, and working with dreams. She said, many people stated that, "but i dont have that kind of time. i cant cut that out of my schedule", to which she respectfully responded, "then you are not serious about this work. What could be more important than this kind of encounter with the magnitude of your own soul's journey?

Let's embrace "Introspection as a way of healing".....
so check-in with yourself:
what got touched today within me?
what generated a significant amount of energy?
where did that energy come from?
what did that touch in my history?
what are the big issues that have now been activated?

How do we navigate the residual effects of past trauma? Experiences with people in our surrounding environment trigger crises of confidence. How we address challenges to our outer reality helps to re-shape and re-parent our inner reality. Conflict tends to be internalized and insecurities are dealt with in private. And then 'temporarily' forgotten (the ego is at work), keeping us in a functioning state, like driving a car on a spare tire, without any thought given to taking steps towards the puncture (s) on the original tire.

We only momentarily recognize the subtle ways we keep ourselves locked into painful (familiar) cycles by keeping a past incident's impact flesh in our minds. By holding onto these unhealthy dynamics, we innocently and in an eerie way think that we wont be a target for future bullies and aggressors. In actuality we become our own worst bullies by living in a state of hyper-vigilance whilst still following old patterns.

Mindfulness exercises and Meditation Techniques help with:

🏳better concentration
🏳better relationships
🏳increased resilience
🏳lessens anxiety
🏳improves sleep
🏳longevity and relaxation
🏳focus and better memory
🏳a smiling body

It is fruitful to bring into a disciplined lifestyle the following two "time-out", exercises for the self, not just in times of stress and overhwhelm.

1. Box Breathing
Sit comfortably and take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Breathe in through your nose for a count of 4, hold your breath for a count of 4, breathe out through your mouth for a count of 4 and hold your breath for a count of 4 again.
Repeat the inhaling, holding, exhaling and holding cycle for a few minutes. The technique helps to regulate breathing, slow down the heart rate and calm the mind.

2. Body Scan Meditation
✔️ get in position (lower your gaze or close your eyes, whichever feels the most comfortable )
✔️ focus on how your body feels (feel the weight of your body pressing down on the floor)
✔️move your attention slowly through the body (notice the sensations: is any part tense, tingling, relaxed or painful). If there are no strong sensations, that is okay.
✔️when your attention wanders, return to the body scan (acknowledge your mind wandering, gently bring the attention back to one body belly, hand on belly)
✔️take in your body as a whole (noticing how the entire body feels, as a whole)
find a quiet and comfortable space to sit or lie down. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and focus on the body. Start with the toes, and work your way up your body, noticing any areas of tension or discomfort. As you focus on each zone, consciously release any tension you may be holding. Repeat this process throughout your whole body.

We deserve to feel connected and understood. Living with unresolved childhood trauma can often conjure up these feelings unconsciously and it is important to process experiences in relation to triggers, in order to heal the nervous system.

When attunement in relational dynamics of our environment is lacking, where there is disconnection in our relationships, our body unconsciously begins to feel and respond in a certain way: what we call the experience, is a trauma response.

The trauma of being unseen or feeling misunderstood can travel through family dynamics as well (intergenerational trauma), but also collective dynamics (cultural, global, more innate ).There is a reason for collective loneliness, depression, violence, black out rage.

We begin to fall into set patterns of "getting people to see us" which takes us into further disconnection, upset, disappointment, low self esteem, feeling unworthy, people pleasing, being agreeable, rather than being seen or meeting another individual authentically.

Let's explore the feelings of being unseen or being misunderstood. Along with insecure feelings about

Ask Yourself:
❗️when did i first feel unseen/misunderstood? by who? what position or importance did they hold in my life (then?)
❗️what are my own emotions and thoughts that come up with this experience (catch yourself in moments when it happens )
❗️how do i tend to respond or react to these experiences?
what is the "knock on effect" to my expression and my relationships?
who or what triggers these feelings in the present?
❗️If someone were to truly see me, what would i wish them to see? Do i embody this, is there a disconnect? What do i know about embodied experience?
❗️when i consider a part of me that feels unseen/misunderstood, what do i really crave? can i say it out loud, can i write it? is there shame associated with it? who do i feel most comfortable saying it to?
❗️are the people around me capable of seeing me?can i show people who i am or do i carry a fear that they may not see me clearly? or judge me for it? or leave me?

Trauma symptoms do not need 'fixing'. They need to be heard, respected and responded to, in a safe space.

Our emotional wounding will likely impact the smaller daily decisions or lack thereof like, what to wear, what and when to eat, the inability to get out of bed. The major decisions around the people we choose to partner with, work with, who we are drawn to will also most likely be affected.

By allowing ourselves to be fully seen, heard, validated, accepted, we can begin to fully witness and celebrate ourselves, in therapy, as well as with people and places that will provide us "corrective experiences" for our healing journey.

1. SOCIAL ANXIETY: when we disregard our limits in society and have our boundaries abused, whilst focusing simply on what the other person's needs are. It is important to be kind to yourself by being honest and open about your limitations and boundaries.

Alongside, we can begin to challenge our nervous system by identifying "thinking errors", and updating our thoughts based on evidence in interpersonal exchanges We can examine how much time we need before entering a social situation, work on developing some skills that may help us feel more confident, and have all the grounding tools available through social interactions.

2. SEPAPARTION ANXIETY: is linked to biological, family and environmental factors. All children experience a form of anxiety about being away from a caregiver, yet some children end up experiecncing extended or extensive fear ( out of proportion to reality), where independence from the caregiver has not been gradual or in small doses. It is important to notice the development of this anxiety early on as it has the capactiy to carry on into adulthood.

3. INNER CRITIC: adults who were persistently criticized, and scrutinized as children, may struggle with feelings of fear, overwhelm, procrastination, being lesser than, and can show up in behaviours that may be indicate perfectionism, people pleasing, or entitled and complete dismissal of others.

Acknowledge and grieve the pain of childhood wounding.

Individuals raised in an environment where they had to decode messages to respond in ways that would minimize eruption of any conflict, so peace was maintained, and a sense of belonging remained intact, can be traumatic, leading to indirect ways of communicating in their adult relationships. That is what they know and are used to.

It can be daunting to then express thoughts clearly, coherently, and directly. We might feel exposed in doing so as it was never taught. It may even feel wrong to communicate in a concise and direct way as it may feel rude, aggressive or shameful to do so. Similarly, someone communicating directly with us may feel like an attack, making us defensive.

In our healing process, we will slowly learn that clear communication is not threatening, that the discomfort of emotions that may come up in doing so are okay and historic. Being at one with our selves requires authenticity and clarity with ourself and others.

Communicating in a healthy manner is kind and considerate to ourself and others. It encompasses the act of being respectful, honest and calm, devoid of any blame on another.
