👉🏼 a major theme I see often with women in my spaces is

🌀 the belief that emotions are silly, weak and unproductive.
🌀 that they should be able to hold it all by themselves and need no one, they shouldn’t be a burden to anyone else.
🌀 the huge fear of vulnerability and the embarrassment that comes with that
🌀 the guilt they feel when they are in a position where needing help / support is not an option anymore
🌀 never feeling like they’ve truly had a safe person they could be their full emotional self with because somewhere along the way they learned their emotions where wrong, bad or weak.

and as a former hyper independent, go at it alone, strong woman mask to hide my big sensitive heart that was easily hurt…. i soooo fking see you.

for so long I did my “healing” on my own from the same pattern I did everything else, from the comfort of my safe zone where i never had to let anyone see my heart. The going at it alone because it was easier that way and it felt sooo productive ✅ until i realized I knew all of my sh*t and I actually still struggled in relationships (both romantic and friendships).

I still hid parts of myself, felt embarrassed about my emotions, opinions and needs, never asked for help or support, constantly felt like if could just fix myself it would all get better….

when I stopped doing it alone, micro moment by micro moment, my nervous system patterns began to change. I put myself in spaces where i could begin to build my sense of internal safety while relating to other human/s.

in those experiences the parts of me that had been wounded in relationships, the parts of me that felt like they would be rejected, shamed or exiled, i realized could only be healed in relationships to other humans.

and in those spaces I built a deeper relationship and ownership of all of me.
