🌟 It can be difficult to recognize neediness within yourself. Then once you recognize it, it can be challenging to heal if you don't have the proper tools to do so. In this video, I give a clear explanation of where neediness comes from, how it impacts your relationships, and how to heal it for good! Your neediness is quite possibly the only thing blocking you from attracting high vibe, loyal people who vie for your attention. Check out this vid and let me know what you learned by leaving a comment. 💬🎥🔥
Restore vitality - Have a good ecosystem of both giving and receiving. Make sure you don’t block either! 🙃
We’re made to exist among a community, to depend on others and have thriving social circles, but more and more we’ve been adopting a more isolated approach that’s not natural and leads to a lot of the reasons, ironically, that promote further disconnection both physiological and psychological.
Being part of the flow of giving and receiving, trusting you know how to meet your needs as well as expressing them is vital. Trusting yourself to lay boundaries out of love rather than scarcity and fear is vital. Trusting yourself to support and be there for others, able to meet their needs is also vital. Giving restores your vitality and energy as much as receiving, or even more at times. Out of balance on either, you dull your own light.
Why, despite living conditions being on average far above what they’ve been in most of our human history, we have potentially a lot more depression, anxiety and other states? When we have more comfort and opportunities, more time to spend on things other than solely survival, why are we lacking so much energy when we get home? Why are we isolating ourselves when that’s biologically not healthy for us?
Think about that?
Make sure you make an informed decision about why you are where you are, and don’t put your head in the sand.
Here's another gem 💎 from my friend and colleague Mrs. Nidhi Tewari!, CSW. Enjoy and give her a follow! #Repost - @nidhitewarilcsw by @get_regrammer You recreate the patterns that were modeled for you. This is how intergenerational trauma cycles are perpetuated. But eventually, you have an awareness of your unhealthy patterns and you’re tasked with addressing them. You get to choose whether you stay stuck in trauma time, or whether you show up differently in the present. Will you choose healing? Comment below!

Gettin’ on some major g r o o v e s this summer 💐 Healing CPTSD, spiritual growth, self-love, re-parenting inner my child, getting physically active, attuning with nature, embracing creative gifts, EVEN attempting successful socialization with other humans, and gathering up all the goodies Goodwill has to offer, finding boundaries and practicing acceptance and non-judgement, rage therapy, EMDR, neurofeedback, and channeling my obsessive passion into awareness, soulful self-sustainability, and still wistfully pondering the mystery of this power called love, and living the Huey Lewis lifestyle-it’s hip to be square, my friends! 🧘♀️ 2 years of healing, getting all this funky mess aligned, it’s… funky, man! But to take responsibility for my individual power and love is freeing and continuously rewarding. I am grateful, truly, despite some ol’ wacky funks that happen from time to time. Glad to be here, hope to see you all around and boogie together 🎷🪘🎨🧬💜 #funky #funkgod #healingjourney #healingquotes #healthylifestyle #healingenergy #holistichealing #cptsdrecovery #cptsdawareness #cptsdsurvivor #cptsd #detrans #hippiestyle #soulmate #soulawakening #selflove #acceptance #emdr #ptsdrecovery #anxiousattachment #spiritualjourney #selfacceptance #selflovequotes (at Milwaukee, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiNEikauiif/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The only person you should be afraid to lose is yourself. I've done that far, far too much. I know how painfully difficult it is for me to ask for anything, or speak up when I'm unhappy - so I know I'm never asking anyone for too much. The people who treat me like I'm not valuable enough to bend a lil for - aren't my safe people. The accommodations I ask for are so minor, you know? 🖤 Kiddo went to her dad's. I have a full day ahead, while still feeling like an old haunted dumpster on fire. So a bubble bath and jams and candles = center my soul a little.
