This is what makes humans so miraculous, our complexity. I can love you with all my being, be angry at you, and realize that anger has no impact on how much I love you. I can then choose to address my anger towards you with love and maybe then, you will more easily hear it. It is hard, and it is the quicker way to feeling seen in anger.

The toxic shame has become a boundary, first imposed to keep me safe. In this moment that boundary is a limitation. The journey begins to find a part of me that has feelings about this.
We all need some sort of activation to alert us to what needs healing, without it, the wounds stay hidden - making it really easy to justify patterns that don’t serve us and boundaries that cage us.
I am grateful for how this part has protected me from pain for so long. Now, though, I need this part to let my Wisest Self take care of things, after all, I am the most qualified. Love to our Parts 🙌

I have done so much trauma work, I can walk around the world with less vigilance and anxiety because of it AND I am still impacted by the trauma I experienced. There are moments when it is still really uncomfortable and really hard. AND those moments are way less hard and way less uncomfortable and way less of a determining factor in the next forward step I take.

It can be such a place of stuckness when one member of a twosome insists on an apology to move forward and the other member feels as though an apology is owning ill intention. Let's start with something we can agree on, something we participated in occurred and it affected us. It does suck when there are unintended consequences to our actions AND we still have to own the impact whether intentional or not, that's adulting. Is it easy? Not always. Can we tolerate it? Absolutely.

I have so many peers being tortured by their teenagers and STILL a part of me, a very loud part, is positive that will not be happening in my house...lol this part is ridiculous...it's coming for me.

Our inability to acknowledge our own cognitive dissonance so that we can justify avoiding acceptance is a real human skill, self-protective as f**k. Appreciate the part of you that will protect you to not end AND find your Wisest Self to remind all your parts that you can tolerate whatever meaning you are making of acceptance, you are built to adapt and you are capable of surviving all the feelings that come with it.

I mean really, I imagine it activates everyone. The knowing when to say something and when not to, in scenarios like this, is ALWAYS the struggle for me. I am a killer with words when I want to be and that is rarely helpful when activated...the writing helps create the pause I need and the space to be more tolerant.

It is so much harder to change how we express our anger when we don't get curious about the feelings anger is hijacking. Everything you have been stuffing, since you learned anger is the only acceptable feeling and not that you could tolerate all the feelings, deserves to be seen. It will all come through your body eventually, be the one deciding when it does so you get to choose the environment in which it happens. With love.

‘I don’t know’ is power, it is truth, and it is an invitation. Be an impactable person, a growth oriented person. Saying ‘i don’t know’ is the beginning of a journey if you allow it.

Choose now, look at your choices now. It is never too late to rid ourselves of the messaging we received as young people that no longer serves us in life. NEW RULE: If it no longer serves you, prune it!

In a world where connectivity is key, our bonds with each other shape who we are. Let's embrace the importance of community and support. We all need each other to thrive.

Both sides of the sentence are true the vast majority of the time and deserve to be acknowledged. This is complexity, holding all that is true at the same time.
