Sometimes it’s hard to know whether it is nature or nurture that has us obligated to our families of origin, even when we don’t feel good around them. It’s important to privilege those who help us feel like the best version of ourselves is possible, over those who don’t. There are so many ways to be in relationship with families of origin, it can be hard to remember that.

Sometimes we need human connection nourishment, hugs from those closest to us, and sometimes we need a meal…right now I need both.

There are very few moments in life for which we are actually ‘ready’. Don’t wait for ‘ready’, don’t wait for ‘motivation’, these are experiences that come after something is started. Just DO the thing and trust that you will be able to tolerate and learn whatever is needed to keep moving forward.

It’s time to find our brave parts people - the world and our children need this from us….and so do all our little parts.

And seriously this is something that is coming up a lot in therapyland right now, lots of people unable to put down their phones with even more struggle than before. We each have to find something to engage with that gives our brains the food it is craving in a healthy real life way. It makes reaching for the phone much less of an issue.

Accepting this is a lot easier than trying to understand it. Because what if the truth is that we are in the midst of a cognitive evolution, a 10,000 year process and the scales just haven’t tipped yet in the favor of evolution? I do believe we are closer than not ….I hope we are ’cause my research is just a feeling I have.

When words, such as ‘boundaries’ get overused and misused, a part of me really wants to stop using it. However, I feel differently with this word. We need to be correcting people’s understanding of it because it devalues what it really is and the amount of attention a crossed boundary might require. It is so important that we raise our children to have and respect boundaries. Boundaries aren’t ultimatums or threats, and shouldn’t invite activation as they have nothing to do with anyone but ourselves.

A part of what therapy can be is learning all the ways in which our bodies and brains operate as it pertains to mental wellbeing - really what we should have all been taught in early elementary school when our brains were primarily focussed on Self. Information is power and when we understand our own unique mechanisms of relational operations, light bulbs go off and the path to change suddenly doesn’t feel so long. There isn’t a soul on this planet who wouldn’t benefit from learning about themselves and there isn’t a soul on this planet who knows all they need to know already. Give yourself the gift of therapy because you deserve it.

I really am going to have a very long, on-going conversation with myself about this. My Imposter Syndrome is an oversensitive personification of my righteous moral compass Part. When someone asks me for something that I didn’t anticipate them needing, this Imposter part is there so fast telling me what a fraud I am - Grateful my Wisest Self can often check the Imposter Part fast (trauma therapy works). My less evolved Conscience, in this situation, would have fawned and apologized as though the relationship depends on it. OMG is this all bu****it?

Many of us had caretakers who didn’t have tolerance for, or patience with our feelings and needs as we developed through our little years. We were shushed and stilled in every way and didn’t get the practice needed to create confidence in ourselves. We learned to stay small. Well guess what, we all need to be noticed in the world, we all need to know we can have an impact. One way we learn to fill those needs is with the space to be authentically ourselves. Find that space and take it, being born entitles us to it, regardless of the messaging we received way back when, and our Wisest Selves know this.
