Does your โsystemโ ๐๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ the moment things feel too intimate or close?
Itโs not because you donโt want connection. Itโs because your ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฒ from a danger that isnโt actually there anymore.
I hear this so often: โI want to let people in, but I feel frozen.โ
In my groups, we talk about the โw**dโ of these old protective patternsโ๐น๐ถ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ถ๐๐บ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ-๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด. Most people try to use โw**d killerโ (force) to get rid of them. But force just sends them deeper into hiding.
What if you justโฆ ๐ด๐ผ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ? What if you asked that part of you, โ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐บ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฒ?โ
It is amazing what happens when we stop fighting our own defenses and start tending to them with grace.
If youโre tired of the โpush-pullโ of connection, come join our community. Itโs a place where you can be โguardedโ and ๐๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ.
