We shift the language in that in our story. Today anxiety is in my life, and it's telling me that bad things are going to happen. It's making me worry.
Some of the most difficult people I connect with clinically or just interpersonally are folks with avoidant personalities. Can you talk about between the avoidant personality type and the anxious attachment style and what sort of impact that could have in a relationship?
A lot of people like to minimize their own suffering in comparison of other people's pain and suffering. Not every traumatic experience is a big “T” and the pain is pain and it's really important for us to validate our own pain. We're getting better about talking a little bit more about trauma.
A lot of times a lot of folks have skewed expectations of what reality should be. When we try to control others, we feel out of control, but we're also pushing people away through control. In order to make those choices that are helpful to us, we got to let go of trying to control other.
The first thing you would do is get connected to who you are. Just lean into your childhood self and what did he or she or they need during that time and just replicate that. The beauty of our inner child is that that's our most vulnerable self, but yet it's our strongest self.
Do you know how attachment styles affect adult relationships? Why do we have high expectations of others? Do you struggle with accepting life as it is?
