THE WAYS WE PROTECT
Do you recognize yourself in any of these scenes?
When something — or everything — overwhelms you.
When you replay the same conversation or problems over and over again.
When your throat closes up and the words stay inside , even though you have so much to say.
When it all comes out at once and afterwards you blame yourself for reacting that way.
When you smile, solve, and hold it all together and no one notices what it's costing you.
When you disconnect from everything because you no longer know what to do with what you feel.
If you recognized yourself in any of these, here's what you need to know:
It's not a flaw. It's a form of protection you learned when you had no other option.
What was learned can be understood. And what is understood gives you the freedom to choose something different.
“What we resist, persists. What we accept, transforms.”
— Carl Jung
From reaction to a conscious choice
Change begins when you learn to recognize what happens inside of you the moment something affects you.
The body reacts first
This reaction shows up as physical tension: in the jaw, the chest, the throat, the stomach.
The mind tries to make sense of it
Using what it already knows: memories, interpretations, and old beliefs.
But before you can even process it .... your learned form of protection kicks in.
The automatic response
This cycle activates over and over again, every single time you experience a situation that affects you in some way or another.
Change has a starting point
The emotion appears
Anger, fear, sadness or anxiety.
“Healing doesn’t come from isolation, but from the experience of being deeply understood and held.”
— Diana Fosha
