From a Polyvagal Theory perspective, our nervous system is constantly scanning for cues of safety or threat — what Dr. Stephen Porges calls neuroception.⁠
⁠
When we feel socially accepted, our ventral vagal system activates. This is the state of connection, calm, and co-regulation — where we feel safe, seen, and secure. 💚 ⁠
⁠
But when we're rejected or excluded, our nervous system can shift into fight/flight (sympathetic activation) — or even shutdown (dorsal vagal state). This can feel like panic, anxiety, collapse, or deep emotional pain — because our brains 🧠 and bodies equate social rejection with threat to survival. ⁠
⁠
That’s why being left out can feel devastating — it’s not “just in your head.” It’s your body saying, “This feels unsafe.”⁠

Let’s talk about codependency — not just as a personal struggle, but as something deeply cultural.⁠
⁠
Many of us were taught that our value comes from how useful we are to others. We learned to anticipate everyone else’s needs before our own. To be ‘good,’ to be ‘liked,’ to keep the peace — even if it cost us our voice. 🤐⁠
⁠
But here’s the truth: codependency isn’t love. It’s self-abandonment dressed up as loyalty.⁠
⁠
Healing codependency means learning to tolerate the feeling of sometimes disappointing others instead of betraying yourself. It means giving from overflow — not depletion.”⁠
⁠
If this resonates, know this: you weren’t broken. You were conditioned. And now… you get to choose something different.⁠

"You know what we often get wrong about acceptance?
We think it means approval — like if I accept this, I must be okay with it.

But acceptance just means acknowledging what is, so you can stop 🚫exhausting yourself by fighting reality.

It sounds like:
‘I wish my partner understood me better — and right now, they don’t. What do I want to do with that?’
Or:
‘I’m anxious. I don’t have to fix it this second. I can be kind to myself in it.’

Acceptance isn’t giving up.

It’s starting from where you actually are — not where you wish you were.

As parents, our job isn’t to erase all the pain—it’s to be the steady presence beside our child when the world feels too big. Emotional safety doesn’t mean perfection, it means presence.⁠
⁠
Let them know: You’re not alone in this. 💚⁠

Just because your child looks grown doesn’t mean their emotional world has caught up.

Emotional development doesn’t follow a birthday calendar 📅 — it unfolds with safety, connection, and co-regulation.

Meet them where they are, not where you think they “should” be.

Love doesn’t just happen. It takes two people prioritizing each other, being brave and having difficult conversations, truly listening. It’s a choice to make daily. ⁠
⁠
However, oftentimes our own stuff gets in the way and prevents us from truly listening👂 to our loved ones. We tend to think about our own perspectives, think about how we are going to respond, why we are right and they are wrong, how we can convince them, etc., instead of tuning in to understand our partner.⁠
⁠
Here are some tips that may help in the process of listening with the agenda to understand. Remember, you don’t have to agree in order to understand someone. ⁠

Headaches. Stomach aches. Skin problems. Digestive problems. Unexplained pain. Hormonal imbalances. Weight loss. Weight gain. And so much more…🤒⁠

When we don’t listen our pain screams louder until we do.⁠

According to Dr. John Gottman, the key 🗝️ to a good compromise is to first explore and decide what your core needs are on the issue and where you can be more flexible. A core need is a “must have,” not a “would be nice to have.” It ties to your values, your identity, and wellbeing.⁠
⁠
Compromising doesn’t mean giving up core needs. It means developing awareness about the things you can be flexible with, and meeting your partner halfway. It’s just as important to be truthful with yourself and realize what areas are inflexible for you. ⁠
⁠
The idea of a healthy compromise is “we both give something up so we both can win.” ⁠
