💃 You could say it takes two to tango…the EFT tango that is. 💃 EFT stands for Emotional Focused Therapy, a process where couples can learn their own + each others “dance patterns” ⤵️

The dance can help couples REALLY understand what happens between them when conflict arises.

The dance creates awareness for each other feelings, boundaries, and triggers- use the EFT Tango as a tool, go through the steps on side 4 to help break down a conflict without it overtaking the love of a relationship. ❤️

Here’s how to calm an anxious mind before it spirals and controls us.🛑

RECOGNIZE
CONTROL
REFLECT

“Well, think positive!” Sorry, but this is BS! 🤷 Give your mind time to process these anxious thoughts. I’m not saying think negatively. But pushing it down with a flood of positivity isn’t going to resolve it. Those thoughts will return.

…Okay… so now what? 🤔

Start reflecting. Talk about it. Journal it out. & start by answering these questions. (swipe!)

& honestly…if you don’t like journaling and find it to be a ‘task’ 📲 grab your phone and take a video of yourself speaking through these questions. (this can feel cringe but it’s actually helpful!)

Trauma comes in all shapes and sizes. A misconception about trauma is that it’s only form is an “extreme” of an event that takes place (like war, sickness, loss, etc.). Trauma can also look like the things we didn’t get in childhood. Emotional neglect, for example is a form of trauma. Not having your needs met as a child in any form results in the manifestation of anxiety, depression, and so on. In understanding your past objectively you can give yourself the gift of validating why your triggers come up today. Knowledge is power- especially the knowledge and awareness of your own mental health.

Setting and maintaining boundaries is one of the biggest challenges people face. Some common things I hear are, “what if my boundary ruins the relationship”, “what if they’re mad at me?”, or the most common, “I’d rather be upset then have a boundary and upset someone else.”

I always empathize with those sentiments because I know how hard it is to create boundaries and to set them in place (maintaining can be even harder then setting them sometimes). BUT once you release yourself from the fears and see how much you benefit from taking care of your needs relationships become easier.

We need to be able to teach people how we want to be treated. If there are no boundaries, there’s no knowledge of your needs.

The right people in your life won’t neglect you based on you taking care of yourself.
