Most everyone desires . . .
. . a life partner.

(PS- check out last year’s Valentine’s posts)

Yet few are prepared for the reality.

Nor prepared for what it takes to create it.

[👍🏼 PLEASE – GIVE ME A LIKE]

Research indicates 👇🏼

Relationships reveal . . .

👉🏼 unhealed trauma
👉🏼 emotional triggers
👉🏼 insecure attachment patterns
. . usually developed in early life 😢

Which most are unaware of.

That create issues & complaints within the partnership.

[✍🏼 PLEASE - WRITE A COMMENT]

Too many talk about “chemistry.”

Or “attraction.”

Or how “consciously aware” they are (🤮 spiritual bubblegum).

What should be talked about is👇🏼

➡️ Parental imprinting – caregiver wounding that replays in partnership
➡️ Attachment style – behaviors that seek closeness or avoid it
➡️ Self-awareness – signs of imprinting, attachment style, & needs
➡️ Embodiment – somatic sensations associated with fear or safety
➡️ Self-regulation – internal control during reactivity
➡️ Needs – what creates safety, connection, growth, fun, rest
➡️ Communication – from a self-aware state, not reactive states
➡️ Ruptures & repairs – vulnerability, validation, collaboration, accountability
➡️ Boundaries – authentic, clear limits; along with expectations
➡️ Solitude – time needed alone to securely attach to ourselves

[🙏 SHARE WITH OTHERS]

Life partnership is about:

👉🏼 deep self-knowledge
👉🏼 emotional maturity
👉🏼 inner stability
👉🏼 staying connected when things get difficult

Which requires YOU 🫵🏽 to do the work!!!

The work 👇🏼

👉🏼 uncovering wounds & trauma that reinforces old imprinting
👉🏼 discovering self-neglect that reinforces patterns
👉🏼 getting to know your nervous system, deeply & intimately
👉🏼 learning self-regulation, grounding, & somatic processing
👉🏼 building safety to unlock deep grief & heartbreak
👉🏼 unraveling insecure attachment & discovering secure attachment
. . & the list goes on.

Work that gives you the capacity hold real love.

FOR YOURSELF 🫵🏽, that will allow another to hold it with you 💞

Ultimately . . .
. . secure attachment is something we create inside ourselves.

(that ideally attracts & keeps healthy others)

Having secure attachment with ourselves.

Allows us to act:

→ more from an authentic truth within ourselves.

While acting less from:

→ adaptations that formed from unsecure, self-attachment.

[👍🏼 PLEASE – GIVE ME A LIKE]

How securely attached we are with ourselves . . .
. . impacts:

👀 how we manage emotions
👀 how we pursue goals
👀 how we attract & act in relationships

Signs of unsecure attachment are:

😢 habitual shame & self-criticism
😢 unworthiness & low self-esteem
😢 avoiding conflict
😢 insecurity, isolation, & push-pull
😢 inability to feel beyond frustrated, stressed, sad
😢 perfectionism, anxiety, overachieving

⬆️⬆️⬆️ all developed due to ruptured, early life attachment wounds.

❓Wanna know the tale, tale sign that you are securely attaching to yourself❓

Typically, 👇🏼

MOST everything in life begins to shift.

🌏 job or location
💚 relationships
😽 self-care practices
😭 grief & emotional releases
⚡️ your overall vibration changes for the better

[🙏 SHARE WITH OTHERS]

Also . . .

1. There is less confusion in decision making
2. Less worry & more appreciation with mistakes
3. The inner critic becomes more kind
4. There is less attention getting behaviors
5. Difficult feelings are no longer feared

[ 🍺 PERHAPS - BUY ME A BEER – link in the bio]

The road toward “earned secure attachment” is not easy work.

We are in constant relationship with ourselves.

Just review have often you have . . .

. . . thoughts, feelings, even body sensations.

Being able to be present with them is the first step.

08/02/2026

When the rhythm is fragmented . . .
. . the nervous system adjusts toward survival.

Sadly, & most often, this happens in early childhood.

Resulting in adaption versus authenticity.

In trauma-focused therapy . . .
. . it’s called “fragmented adaptation.”

To a child . . .
. . it’s called, “I needed you & you didn’t meet me.”

[👍🏼 PLEASE – GIVE ME A LIKE]

There was no nourishing mirror to reflect back upon.

Some name it:

👉🏼 attachment trauma
👉🏼 polyvagal dysregulation
👉🏼 developmental trauma
👉🏼 relational trauma

Regardless, the nervous system loses safety & begins to strategize.

[✍🏼 PLEASE - WRITE A COMMENT]

Creating:

😢 suppression – “My ache became dangerous, so I put in shackles.”
😢 fragmentation – “My wholeness made it worse.”
😢 false coherence – “I performed to negotiate my environment.”
😢 internalization – “The only place I could go was inward.”
😢 avoidance – “I learned to stop reaching, as it was too risky.”
😢 rumination – “I’m left alone, trying to figure it out.”

The consequence of a fractured psyche.

[🙏 SHARE WITH OTHERS]

Yet.

The pulse remains.

Beneath the accumulated child’s underdeveloped, survival strategies.

Ready to conduct your authentic life again.

[ 🍺 PERHAPS - BUY ME A BEER – link in the bio]

The way back to soulful rhythm???

No longer medicate, shame, or reject them.
Learn how to become aware of them.
Build the courage to grieve them, intensely.
Lovingly walking them home.

While carefully listening for that soulful pulse . . .
. . & deep authentic rhythm.

WHAT AN HONOR. To be invited on a podcast. Which I listened to before even meeting the host. While fantasizing to be enough to be a guest. To only have been met with such grace, by the host, time & time again. As we form our relationship as I am a student to her teachings.

I have . . .
. . wasted valuable time in my life👇🏼

Trying to dissolve the ego.

Trying to cling to bliss.

Trying to transcend this life.

Gaslighting my human experience . . .
. . in place of non-duality avoidance.

And I am very much over it.

[👍🏼 PLEASE – GIVE ME A LIKE]

Going so far to say, it’s all BU****IT!

My incarnation. My embodiment.

My nervous system is NOT an impediment.

It is not an illusion or trap.

It is certainly not my enemy.

I am over cowardice mindsets.

That suggest.

To feel safe, the nervous system . . .
. . must be escaped, numbed, or scorned.

[✍🏼 PLEASE - WRITE A COMMENT]

The nervous system knows.

What the intellect neglects.

Hurts from this existence must be felt & integrated.

As it:

👉🏼 constricts the jaw & gut
👉🏼 palpates the heart
👉🏼 tightens the chest & pelvis
👉🏼 overstimulates the mind
👉🏼 stiffens the back & legs
👉🏼 & undeniably creates disease

The nervous system is not an illusion.

As it will also:

👉🏼 soften the chest, letting us know we are being joined with
👉🏼 relaxes the shoulders, letting us know we are relieved
👉🏼 slows the eyes, letting us know we are present
👉🏼 allows deeper breaths, letting us know we exist

[ 🍺 PERHAPS - BUY ME A BEER – link in the bio]

You see.

The wounds, pain, trauma.

That spiritual bypassing tries to cast-off.

Become gateways, when integrated with the body.

Allowing a more secure human experience.

Connecting, instead of detaching, to life’s pulses & rhythms.

Connecting to the felt-experience in human form.

Which often constricts when we are misaligned.

As well as opens when we are aligned.

Learn to listen to your nervous system.

Rather than buying into the deception that tries to bypass it.

You’ll thank me later.

I said . . .
. . intimately.

NOT EROTICALLY

NOT SEXUALLY

Intimately & there is a difference!!!

[👍🏼 PLEASE – GIVE ME A LIKE]

Especially addressing trauma.

Be it...

👉🏼 developmental
OR
👉🏼 attachment
OR
👉🏼 complex trauma

Research indicates . . .
. . talk, or hands off, therapy can only go so far.

As trauma is deeper than just words.

Or insights.

Trauma is stored.

Where the understanding 🧠 can’t reach.

[✍🏼 PLEASE - WRITE A COMMENT]

Progressive research.

(which IMHO will soon flip psychotherapy on its head)
(even beyond psychedelic therapy)

Suggests.

To properly address trauma.

C-tactile receptors MUST be stimulated.

To reach trauma material.

That has been...

👉🏼 fragmented
👉🏼 unintegrated
👉🏼 dissociated

The client must be touched!!!

[ 🍺 PERHAPS - BUY ME A BEER – link in the bio]

To address this 👇🏼

I use hands on . . .
. . relational-attachment touch & body work.

Where we join in a relational & attachment field.

To intimately connect with...

✨vulnerable
✨tender
✨raw

Parts of the body that still hold the trauma.

Blend this with low dose ketamine.

Neuroscience reveals . . .
. . that attachment patterns are activated in specific areas of the brain.

[👍🏼 PLEASE - GIVE ME A LIKE]

Further explaining...👇🏼

That these patterns emerge in infancy.

And persist into adulthood.

Wired by caregiver interactions.

During times of...

😵‍💫 confusion
🙀 stress
🤕 hurts & injuries
😩 emotional pain
😱 fear
💖 need for affection & devotion

[✍🏼 PLEASE - WRITE A COMMENT]

These early life interactions influence...

👉🏼 who we are attracted to
👉🏼 how we communicate
👉🏼 how we handle conflict
👉🏼 how we act in relationships

[🙏 PLEASE – SHARE WITH OTHERS]

If our...

😵‍💫 confusion
🙀 stress
🤕 hurts & injuries
😩 emotional pain
😱 fear
💖 need for affection & devotion

Were left neglected.

Creating confusion & aloneness.

Then insecure attachment became the pattern.

Influencing...

👉🏼 who we are attracted to
👉🏼 how we communicate
👉🏼 how we handle conflict
👉🏼 how we act in relationships

The anxious preoccupied style . . .
. . craves constant acceptance.

The dismissive avoidant style . . .
. . fears intimacy.

The fearful avoidant style . . .
. . both desires & fears intimacy.

[ 🍺 PERHAPS - BUY ME A BEER – link in the bio]

How we love others.

How we love ourselves.

How we just plain love, in general.

Requires awareness of our attachment history & patterns.

Which in turn.

Requires us.

To courageously dive deep into . . .
. . the heartbreak of the inner child’s abandoned wounds.

While being held by a skilled other.

Who knows how to access the areas of brain.

That can integrate a new experience of being seen & cared for.

By swallowing . . .

Your truth.

Your feelings.

Your Authenticity.

You create a story.

That silence keeps the peace.

So, convincing.

Your nervous system begins . . .
. . to believe that your honesty is dangerous.

[👍🏼 PLEASE - GIVE ME A LIKE]

Forming a landscape in your body.

That becomes chronic tension.

Clinched jaw.

Tight stomach.

Heart tremor.

Shallow breath.

Nervous eyes.

Racing mind.

A chest . . .
. . where ribs feel like a cage.

[✍🏼 PLEASE - WRITE A COMMENT]

Repressions that become contractions.

Which sound like.

“I’m fine.”

“It’s okay.”

Mistaking silence as peace.

[🙏 PLEASE – SHARE WITH OTHERS]

Yet each time, the body tightens more.

Pointing to where your truth is buried.

Truth.

That wants air.

That wants sound.

That wants to exist.

That doesn’t want you to abandon yourself.

[ 🍺 PERHAPS - BUY ME A BEER – link in the bio]

Rather, it wants you to do the hard work.

No, not shouting. Or rebelling. Or confronting everyone.

It simply wants you to do the harder work.

Discovering feelings, you don’t allow.

Discovering truths, that shake your perceived peace.

Identifying authenticity, that changes what you believed.

But that would require you.

To go to places in you . . .
. . that you believe are dangerous.

While completing . . .
. . a yearlong training last week.

I heard the words spoken to another cohort member.

“Are you just tolerating it?”

The comment was not intended for me.

Yet. It took me.

Into deep introspection.

[👍🏼 PLEASE - GIVE ME A LIKE]

I remember when I traded,

👉🏼 security for aliveness
👉🏼 familiarity for a pulse
👉🏼 attention for love
👉🏼 dysfunction for change

No longer, tolerating it.

BUT...

That decision is no joke.

It demands.

Risk! It demands change!

BUT...

The rewards!

Oh, the rewards 💖

[✍🏼 PLEASE - WRITE A COMMENT]

It takes courage.

To unveil & answer the call.

Moving toward the truth of your own design.

Feeling your blood flow, AGAIN!

Feeling your heart expand, AGAIN!

Feeling the throb of your emotions, AGAIN!

[ 🍺 PERHAPS - BUY ME A BEER – link in the bio]

We do not need more silent tolerance.

“Every soul is born with a geometry of greatness...
..yet, it requires you to trace the lines.” -K.M.

To awaken every sunrise.

To FEEL how not “tracing the lines” vibrates in your bones.

Only to.

Choose different & FEEL the vibration of aliveness in your bones.

There is a difference.

It does not need words.

Or somatic language.

It’s an unspoken knowing & trust it.

Your vibration knows if you are tolerating it.

Have you ever . . .
. . wondered?

What it might be like.

To feel safe.

Inside the body.

[👍🏼 PLEASE - GIVE ME A LIKE]

That space.

That no longer scans.

For the protection to hold it all together.

For the protection that says stillness is unsafe.

No longer scanning.

For the protection that . . .
. . believes care is unreachable.

For the protection that fears helplessness.

[🙏 PLEASE - SHARE WITH OTHERS]

To no longer brace.

For rejection or abandonment.

To unclench the silence.

Long held.

In the jaw.

Long held.

In the heart.

Long held.

In the breath.

[✍🏼 PLEASE - WRITE A COMMENT]

Have you ever . . .
. . wondered?

What it might be like.

To feel safe.

What if it requires you.

To trust.

Trust becoming very, very young.

Helpless.

While being held by divine others.

[ 🍺 PERHAPS - BUY ME A BEER – link in the bio]

Safety would no longer be an idea.

It would become a sensation, that you are shown.

While being held by divine others.

30/09/2025

Most often . . .
. . growth is not comfy.

In my experience.

True growth.

Is isolating.

Creating an unconscious stillness.

That shifts one toward silence.

[👍🏼 PLEASE - GIVE ME A LIKE]

Allowing you to feel.

Cycles of:

👉🏼 empty experiences
👉🏼 empty connections
👉🏼 empty situations
👉🏼 empty behaviors
👉🏼 empty feelings

Don’t be surprised if you, also, notice.

Many close relationships . . .
. . aren’t what you may have thought.

[🙏 PLEASE - SHARE WITH OTHERS]

You may imagine that you are losing everything.

❓Questioning who you are❓

Feeling trapped & relapsed.

Which in turn creates a yearning.

A deep craving.

That asks you for transformation.

✨ more honesty
✨ more authenticity
✨ more coherence
✨ more alignment

[✍🏼 PLEASE - WRITE A COMMENT]

You are not failing.

You are rearranging.

You are clearing space.

You are mourning . . .
. . who you had to be to build what was 💔

[ 🍺 PERHAPS - BUY ME A BEER – link in the bio]

Some... yes, some... stop the work.

Resisting what is meant to leave.

Fearing what may not come.

Refusing to trust.

AHHHHH...

Self-Trust.

👆🏻the very thing we let go of.
👆🏻that created the original emptiness.

Stay with the work, YOU can trust yourself.

While you mourn who you had to be.

While building trust of who you are becoming.
