@youimprovedcounselling Communication skills are o

@youimprovedcounselling Communication skills are one of the root causes to relationship breakdown. We learn how to process and manage our feelings through the modeling we receive from our caregivers, and if they're not healthy, that template is integrated and carried on very naturally. If one feels shame for their feelings they will hold them inside and neglect allowing the message of the emotion to be understood and relayed to others. If someone was not validated for their emotions then they may feel competitive with others who share their emotional needs and not tolerate space for them. When trauma has not been dealt with, triggers will overwhelm the nervous system and dysregulate the individual into activation that interrupts communication skills because protection becomes the priority. In general we take things personally, we make assumptions, we hold our truth to ourselves and build resentments, we're afraid to be vulnerable and fear abandonment, and so on.

Our primary responsibility is to be aware of who we are and what we stand for. From that, we have a responsibility to share with others, in a respectful manner that's true to our authentic self and integrity, where we are with things. Give people permission to have that information and make their own decision based on where they are. We can only do our part. Be true to that. Slow down the pace of the communication, reflect and mirror back to someone what you understand about what they tell you to clarify. State your feelings from the perspective of "I" and avoid "You" statements that project blame. Ask for their thoughts to encourage connection and safety. Come up with strategies prior to a difficult conversation that aids in safety for each other such as a safe word to have a time out, moments to step away and collect your thoughts as you regulate. Agree to no insults or name calling.

Healthy communication clarifies and respects. It supports vulnerability for people to be seen properly. Remember we are either connecting or protecting.

Repost from @youimprovedcounselling using @RepostRegramApp - @treeowl Don't get caught up too long in how broken you might feel or have felt as you experience the challenges life will inevitably put you through. Events are temporary, though the affects enduring, it's how we use those events that influence the way we show up in life. There are two choices. You give the pain permission to shut you down and create limitations or you use the pain to continually inspire growth, passion, resilience and motivation. You create the path that reflects who you decide to be because of it. No one can escape these options. They show up as our survival skills. Which do you choose? What prevents you from celebrating how incredible you are when faced with adversity? Be the work of art you are meant to be 💗

P.S. I’m reading this book right now👍🏻👍🏻 Repost from @youimprovedcounselling - @susandavid_phd Great infograph on how to move through moments of being triggered and trapped with an emotion you feel uncomfortable with. Certain circumstances will activate historic biases of discomfort and pain. They remind us that we have wounds that need to be worked on. Emotions are only information of where we are with our beliefs. Separate yourself from the emotions to observe the information being generated and integrate perspective rather than a single story that only increases discomfort and feelings of immobilization.

Repost from @youimprovedcounselling @yung_pueblo It's normal that you will fall into patterns your body has normalized through years of conditioning and normalizing. Don't beat yourself up when you aren't consistently on point with implementing the changes you desire. Awareness of recognizing slips is a part of healing. Be kind to yourself when you catch moments of slipping and be impressed instead that you're no longer unconsciously defaulting to your patterns. It's still a win!
