How do our family dynamics growing up impact our romantic relationships as adults?

09/11/2021

Today we remember the people lost, the families forever changed, the feeling of fear & instability, those who protect us, and we are stronger together than as single individuals.
I remember being in high school during 9/11 and all of us being ushered into a single building.
I remember the confusion and fear. I remember the relief that my family was safe and the guilt that others weren't feeling the same thing.
I often wonder if this day was the catalyst to so much of the hate and anger and division that exists today. Not that it didn't exist before but over the past several decades it's amplified.
Hate and anger stem from fear. We "hate" things we don't know and get angry when we have no control. We are always seeking ways to get rid of that fear and it's often not a very healthy outcome.
Today, show love and compassion to someone you might not naturally feel that toward. Be a support to make the United States AND entire world stronger. Give someone a hug. Put down your phone and really listen. Don't give the middle finger or automatically smash your horn to the driver who cut you off. Let someone else go ahead of you in line. Breathe. Show compassion and love for yourself too. The world isn't easy and we control so very little of it. Enjoy the moments of happiness and contentment. Show gratitude and appreciation.

How we interact with others in friendships and relationships is often guided by our attachment style. This is strongly impacted by our sense of security in relationships with primary figures throughout our development. Have you ever wondered what your attachment style is?

We frequently think that we can't ask for support from others because it would be a burden to them. Or that we would be judged for our suffering or self-perceived "weakness." Yet we typically want the people we love to tell us when they are hurting so we can support and help them.

This reciprocity of being the supporter and being the one who needs support can actually strengthen relationships! Knowing we can rely on someone and them knowing they can rely on us is one way how trust builds in relationships and create a deeper sense of understanding and connectedness which in turn reduces feelings of isolation and loneliness often seen in depression.

Take a chance and give others an opportunity to support you!

has some amazing work! You will probably see a couple of these upcoming because CMWC loves cats and the meaning has a strong foundation in ACT!

There are actually 4 responses to acute Stress and traumatic events: Fight, Flight, Freeze and Fawn
Fight presents as "survival at all costs." This is usually seen as anger, aggression, fighting back, exposivity, and impulsive emotional reactions
Flight presents as panic and anxiety results in escaping a situation. This can look like running away, distraction, perfectionism, overworking, and difficulty sitting still.
Freeze presents as trying to become as small and invisible as possible. This can look like becoming physically small, dissociating, not moving and physiologically going into survival mode.
Fawn presents as over adapting and accommodating by sacrificing self and needs. This can present as agreeing to something you don't actually agree with, people pleasing, avoidance, passivity and trying to keep away from any conflict

Stress is inevitably going to come up. So what can you do when you start to feel your stress increase and anxiety build?
There are 4 A's for how to manage stress. When deciding which of these to use, first think "Can I change the stressor? Is that within my circle of control?"
If the answer is yes, you can either Avoid or Alter
If the answer is no, you can either Adapt or Accept
*
What falls into these areas and Avoid?! I thought I WASN'T supposed to avoid things?! Avoid in this case isn't the same as sticking your fingers in your ears and humming while pretending the situation doesn't exist. It means taking control of your surroundings and staying out of areas that exacerbate stress, saying "no," avoiding people who stress you out and knocking things off your to do list that aren't urgent
*
Alter means trying to change your situation to reduce stress by communicating to others when they do things that upset you, find ways to better manage time, and set limits!
*
Adapt is when change our outlook or expectations because we can't change the situation. We do this by adjusting our standards of ourselves and others, practice positive self-talk and thought stopping, reframe the stressor, look at the big picture... Think how much will this matter in 1 year? 5 years? 10 years?
*
Lastly, Accept. Talk to someone, reach out to your support system. Learn from mistakes rather than dwelling on what you "could" or "should" have done differently. Practice positive self talk and mindfulness. Be in the moment, rather than the past or future.

got it right! How often do you "what if" everything and it NEVER happens! And when it (rarely) does happen has it been as bad as you imagined or were you able to handle it better than expected?

In honor of lets all work toward breaking down the stigma toward mental illness and therapy. is not a dirty word. Approx 7.1% of the US population 18+ have had a major depressive episode. isn't a weakness. 19.1% of the US population met criteria for an anxiety disorder in the last month. Let's and teach the world therapy is a SAFE not a scary space. Learning areas you need to grow isn't saying you are a failure. Therapy should be just as common as seeing a doctor when you have a cold. Let's get the rest of the world there...

Let's talk about Mother's Day. It's a great day to honor your mother or mothers and express appreciation for all the things they have done for you. However, it's important to recognize that Mother's Day can be incredibly difficult for some. There are women who deeply want to be mothers and for whatever reason are unable to do so. There are children who have lost mothers and mothers who have lost children. There are mothers and children divided and distanced either by location or conflict. Something as simple as a post can trigger depression, anxiety, grief, sadness, regret and even anger.

So ultimately, be grateful for what you may have and be mindful of what others may not have. Check in on any friends or family members who may be struggling just to get through this holiday. As always work toward self-awareness and consideration and kindness toward others.

What kind of boundaries do you have?
If you find yourself always saying yes, becoming overly involved with others (which may leave you feeling exhausted and drained!) you may have Porous boundaries. If you always keep others at arms length (often resulting from past hurts, lack of trust, and insecurities) you likely have rigid boundaries. If you have a good balance building closer relationships and recognizing limits of those relationships you may have healthy boundaries.
Go through the list below and see where you fall!
RIGID BOUNDARIES
~few close relationships
~unlikely to ask for help
~avoiding intimacy and vulnerability
~very protective of personal information
~may come across as distant, even to those closest to them
~keep others at arms length to avoid the potential to feel rejected
POROUS BOUNDARIES
~difficulty saying "no"
~oversharing of personal information
~feel the need to get involved in others problems (want to fix everything for everyone mentality)
~difficulty making decisions without feedback from others
~fear that if boundaries are set others will reject them
HEALTHY BOUNDARIES
~recognize value of their own opinions
~doesn't compromise values for others
~does not over or under share information but shares according to closeness of relationship
~aware of own wants and needs and communicates them to others
~accepting (nondefensively) when others say 'no' and set boundaries to them
Where do you fall?
