#Reinforcement Episodes: The Two Commitments You Must Make With Yourself

#Reinforcement Episodes: The Two Commitments You Must Make With YourselfCOMMITMENT ONE: Honesty with yourself and safe others. This involves being willing to acknowledge what you feel, what you are experiencing, and what is actually happening. This involves the end of fantasy making and toxic hope.This means acknowledging the pain you're feeling, their abusive and neglectful behavior, and any habits of denying the patterns of behavior and impact in the relationship.This also includes confronting fantasies of changing them, of their potential, and it means being honest with what is actually happening.COMMITMENT TWO: Loyalty to your well-being and safety first. Relationships do not require the loss of your Self, your well-being, your sanity. The real work in healthy relationships is building connection and understanding. This starts with loyalty to yourself. Put your well-being first, respect your pain, choose according to what adds to your well-being, say no to what doesn't, and stay loyal to your boundaries and values.***Seeking help in healing codependency?

How To Empathize Without Violating Your Well-being

How To Empathize Without Violating Your Well-beingMany of us struggle with a sense of conflict between caring for ourselves and caring for the other person. This is especially pronounced when the other person is also the person who harmed us. One's trauma bond with a harmful person along with one's natural care and empathy can create a divide within the codependent that is trying to navigate feeling empathy and concern for the other person while also trying to prioritize and care for themselves.The solution to this conflict I call, "Boundaried Empathy".What is Boundaried Empathy?It is the practice of acknowledging the care we feel towards the other person while staying clear of their yard and any responsibility to regulate or fix that person's pain, problems, or consequences.Put another way, it is learning how to empathize without fixing. Learn how in today's episode!***Seeking help in healing codependency?

Is Being "Too Much" A Real Thing?

Is Being "Too Much" A Real Thing?Have you been told you're "too much" by someone?Have you questioned your own level of needs, desires, and wants due to that?Have you felt shame, confusion, doubt, or guilt for what you want or need, and how much of it you want or need?This is a very, very common impact we feel from others. It can be especially painful if we're repeatedly told we're "too much" and shamed for it. Conversely, you may also be told you're "not enough", too, creating a mass of confusion and inner conflict.Learn how to navigate this in today's episode!***Seeking help in healing codependency?

Are You Being Selfish? Or Is Your Self-Interest Being Weaponized?

Are You Being Selfish? Or Is Your Self-Interest Being Weaponized?"You're selfish" or "Stop being so selfish" or "You have to share!" These are phrases I heard a lot in response to me saying no, to having a boundary, or wanting to keep something of mine, mine. I was also raised to believe that sharing was the ideal and that having boundaries or saying no meant I was doing something "selfish" or mean because it "deprived someone else of something they wanted".This kind of treatment of our autonomy and boundaries taught us to feel shame and to discount and ignore our self-interest, boundaries, and desires.Learn how to start freeing yourself from this trap of inverted power and begin to occupy your sovereign space and autonomy in today's episode!***Seeking help in healing codependency?

What could I look for to determine if he is compatible with me?"This question comes to me a lot, especially in Focus 6 of the Codependency Healing System where I teach students the fundamentals of healthy relating.Much of what is taught about compatibility centers around mutual values, interests, and even lifestyles. Yet, I've learned personally these are poor guages of actual, real-life compatibility.

The Essentials - Sanity: Know What Is Real With These 3 Patterns

Self-doubt caused by gaslighting, lying, and betrayal leaves us highly vulnerable to harm and leads us to question if we know what is real and what is not real. We are left to struggle to understand what is happening and what "right" choices to make. We turn outward towards others to define reality, and often towards those that are gaslighting and harming us, as we want to feel safe with them. We must return to sanity and knowing what is real if we're to experience lasting freedom from codependency, toxic relationship patterns, self-doubt, and the pain these things bring.Learn the 3 patterns I teach my students to watch for and how they create reliable sanity and reality in their daily lives in today's episode!***Seeking help in healing codependency?

Is Fantasy Sabotaging Your Relationships And Your Life?

The Essentials: Restoring SanityIs Fantasy Sabotaging Your Relationships And Your Life?In codependency, fantasy is a core element of how we cope with relationship systems that are not changing, yet we feel deeply dependent on for our sense of well-being, safety, connection, and worth.The brain creates fantasy as a way of giving us direction and something to hope for, especially when we do not have the resources or the capacity to confront what is really happening.Often, these fantasies start very early in childhood. We might hope that one day the parent will change into the parent we need if we love them just right or just enough, or if we're good enough.Learn a few of the major fantasies we have in codependency, how to detect them, and what to do when you notice a fantasy happening in today's episode!***Seeking help in healing codependency?

You Must Break The Obedience Trance To Heal

Do you feel like there are "people" in your head that tell you what you should be doing, must be doing, or else?Do you feel like others are watching or scrutinizing you?When you go to make a decision or do a thing, do you find yourself evaluating if it is the "right" thing to do or find yourself fixated on what others may think or feel about it?Do you feel like you don't have a right to make choices for yourself, but instead should be following a rule?These are expressions of internalize oppression of your personal authority. This is typically injected into your mind and body through "being obedient".You see, obedience is the idea that we must conform our behaviors to a set of regulations and rules set by a supposed authority outside ourselves. This is often how schools, family, and social systems work. Obedience is paired with fear and threats. That is where obedience gets its "power".IN codependency, obedience becomes the avenue for gaining a sense of acceptance, inclusion, approval, and safety. This comes at the cost of our personal power, autonomy, and really knowing ourselves.Obedience becomes a power trap, keeping you conforming to others in exchange for your vital needs of inclusion and love.Learn how to break yourself from this trap in today's episode.Breaking Obedience Practice v1:Step One: Build awareness of the obedience impulse. Use the PAO tool here: https://pao.freetheself.comStep Two: When you're aware of the obedience impulse, acknowledge it. "Ah, I see. I feel like I have to obey. What would I do if I trusted, just a bit, in my own authority to direct my actions?"Step Three: Acknowledge the answer to that and do it. Observe and record the results.Sometimes anxiety, fright, panic can emerge in this. I recommend regulation. Get the Daily Regulation Practice here: https://drp.freetheself.comSometimes shame or guilt emerges.

Are You Ultra-Independent?

Are You Ultra-Independent?Do you say, "I don't need anyone!"You are in a trap. The trap called "counter-dependence".Counter-dependence develops as a reaction to the enmeshment experience of codependency. For many, enmeshment and connection are confused with each other. The deep sense of being highly close or engulfed by another feels intense. It is often draining, overwhelming, scary, with moments of ecstacy and euphoria. It can be very, very painful.They give everything to the relationship, believing that is was is required, and that it will be reciprocated. "This is what love does!"Then that is betrayed, discarded, or goes unrecognized. This ends up hurting them deeply emotionally and relationally, and often financially. They may lose everything they've built and be left exposed, unprepared, and dealing with big challenges.This can motivate a person to move towards never "needing anyone" or "depending on anyone". This is a means to safety, to control, and to protection of one's self from the big harm and loss they've experienced.The person becomes very empowered financially and materially. They also isolate socially and emotionally, keeping opportunities at arm's length and avoiding vulnerability and connection.This is a trap, as we are left starving for emotional, physical, social, and psychological connection.Learn how to identify this trap and how to get out of it in today's episode!***Seeking help in healing codependency?

Does Approval Equal Permission For You?

Does Approval Equal Permission For You?Codependency has our authority and personal power attached to other people's perspectives, feelings, and ultimately their approval and rejection responses.This is why we often fixate on and try to control someone's approval of us. We believe it grants us permission for certain things.This permission can pertain to one's worth (I'm worthy because they love me). It can pertain to permission to do or have certain things (They like this, so it is safe for me to have).This is an externalization of our power and a centering of the other person in our personal power. They become the authority.To heal and be free of codependency, we must liberate our power by taking ownership of it.Learn how I do this in today's episode.***Seeking help in healing codependency?

Do You Feel Lost Without A Relationship? Here's Why and What To Do About It

Do You Feel Lost Without A Relationship? Here's Why and What To Do About ItCodependency has us orienting ourselves around other people, places, and things as a means to creating safety, connection, and a sense of worth. It does this as it is a reaction to chronic unsafe relationships.If this starts in childhood, we never really learn how to orient to ourselves and become self-directed. Instead, we become lost in the worlds of others. We center our lives around them, their wants, their needs, their experience, and fail to come to know ourselves.This is one primary reason narcissistic brains and codependent brains pair up. The narcissistic brain demands to be the center of the universe. The codependent brain agrees and orbits them.When we leave that relationship, we feel lost, empty, and undefined - like we don't exist.The solution is to know yourself, and that starts with centering yourself in your life.Learn how I make this happen in today's episode:***Seeking help in healing codependency?

Real Safety Depends On Respecting Your Capacity

Capacity is the most often overlooked, underdiscussed element of safety in healing work. It is mentioned, but its role is not emphasized or prioritized.What is capacity? It is the amount of something a person can receive or contribute.Codependency creates a habit of exceeding one's capacity by ignoring it entirely due to how capacity is treated by entitled persons. It is often vilified as a terrible "limit" that is making one "selfish". It is seen as a flaw and a problem that must be fixed. Fundamentally, one's capacity is a boundary, one that promotes well-being, peace, energy, and personal prosperity when acknowledged, trusted, and followed.Learn how to detect your capacity and begin trusting it in today's episode!***Seeking help in healing codependency?

Doubt That Your Feelings Matter Or Are Valid? Here's What To DoThe Essentials: How To Feel Emotionally Safe Again - The Necessity Of Believing Your Emotions Are Valid And RealGaslighting and abuse cause us to doubt ourselves in core areas of our reality: our lived experience, our senses, our memory recall, our perception, and the validity of our emotions.When we do not believe that our feelings are legitimate or real, we begin to question our lived experiences and perceptions that cause us to feel like we're crazy.We also begin to believe that our emotions are signals that we're broken, wrong, or need fixing.This leaves us open to being manipulated and further harmed by unhealthy relationships and systems.The solution to this starts with the believing that our emotions are both real and valid.

Why You Care About What Other People Think And What To Do About It

"I'm not supposed to care what people think"Do you try to get yourself to stop caring about what others think about you?Do you feel like a failure when you inevitably start feeling that anxiety about what they think about you?Does it feel impossible to stop caring about what other people think about you?Congrats! You are normal!Caring what others think about us is a result of being part of an interdependent experience. We survive and thrive in collectives, not in isolation, so we have a natural concern around other people's feelings and thoughts about us.But in codependency, what others think takes on significant weight and power as we tend to enmesh our identity, worth, and safety with the approval or rejection of others.Learn what to do about this and how to properly orient your concern about what others think about you so it works for you rather than against you in today's training!***Seeking help in healing codependency?

Are You Trying To Get People To Choose You?

Are you hoping someone chooses you? Are you seeking to be chosen?In codependency, these impulses to get someone to choose us is a reflection of how unchosen we were growing up.Sometimes we feel chosen by parent, but not by peers. Sometimes it is both. Sometimes it is peers, but not a parent.When this is prominent, it creates a profound sense of being less-than and that we have to compensate for this perceived lack by trying to get people to see us, value us, and choose us.People-pleasing, perfectionism, and being a high achiever are ways we try to get that to happen.Learn how to end the habit of chasing love, inclusion, and approval and what to do to get the attention, care, and inclusion you seek in today's episode.***Seeking help in healing codependency?

The Essentials: How To Feel Emotionally Safe Again - The 3 Habits That Are Causing you more pain

The Essentials: How To Feel Emotionally Safe Again - The 3 Habits That Are Causing you more painThere are three habits we do with emotions that tend to trap and inhibit their natural flow and movement through our bodies:1) We analyze them. This happens with both painful and pleasurable emotions. We do this thinking if we can understand their cause, we can stop them from happening, or create them over and over again2) We resist them. This happens with both painful and pleasurable emotions, and it is a signal that we have low capacity and high discomfort with the emotion3) We attach to them. This also happens with both painful and pleasurable emotions. This habit has us trying to keep the emotion close, alive, and constant, either as a form of protection against feeling other things, or having to navigate the loss of the emotion as it fades.These three habits create emotional paralysis and stagnation, trapping us in loops of trying to control emotions.Learn what to do instead that creates peace and emotional relief, and ends these three habits at the same time in today's episode!TOOL: Using the Pause-Acknowledge-Observe Tool will assist you in going deeper in welcoming your emotions.

The Essentials: How To Feel Emotionally Safe Again - Part One

The Essentials: How To Feel Emotionally Safe Again - Part OneCreating and nurturing safety is the first and highest priority in the healing of codependency.We need to have safety in three areas if we're to thrive in our creative and playful ambitions:1) Physical Safety2) Emotional Safety3) Relational SafetyToday is all about Emotional Safety.Codependency has us believing that safety depends on external factors, namely the physical environment and the people we interact with. This has us seeking safety through either controlling these factors or avoiding them all together.What if real safety was found within? What if real safety were a result of how we respond to the unsafe experiences we encounter?These questions led me to discover how I can resource my safety emotionally, physically, and relationally.Emotional safety is how safe one feels in:- Acknowledging their own emotions- Feeling those emotions- Acknowledging and feeling what comes after those emotions move through- Expressing or sharing those emotions- Acknowledging the emotions others communicate- Witnessing the emotions of others- Staying boundaried in their responses to the emotions of othersLearn how to start cultivating this and how to navigate the paradox of feeling safer not feeling safe in today's episode!The Tool: https://pao.freetheself.com***Seeking help in healing codependency?

Are You Trying To Be Emotionally Perfect?

Are You Trying To Be Emotionally Perfect?Emotional perfection is the habit of trying to force ourselves to feel certain ways and NOT feel other certain ways.This habit is created by the belief we have to show up a certain emotional way in order to be valued, loved, cared for, or nurtured.This habit shows up as "I shouldn't feel this way" or "I should feel differently!". Somatically, it feels like pressure and force to feel different than we actually do.The way out of this trap starts with acknowledgment, then endorsement or legitimization of our emotional states.Learn more about how to do this in today's training!
