Do I Have An Addiction?
Do I Have An Addiction?
In this video, we are going to be focusing on addiction, specifically, how to tell if you are addicted to something or not. There are a variety of addiction points in this video, so that you can tell if you are struggling with an unwanted addiction. Whether you've been in need of addiction treatment tips or know someone that does, we believe awareness is key. We covered the concept of addiction treatment in another video, because addictions have the power to ruin our lives and relationships. We'd love for you admit you have an addiction, and beat your addiction once and for all. We hope this video helps, and if you like the content, don't forget to like and subscribe.

Borderline Personality Disorder vs. The Vacillator Imprint
Excellent video!
I'm trying to find ways to reassure myself since I have no one around me that seems to care enough to realise that's what I need.
Thank you for the video. It helped me a lot. I was told i had moderate depression at this clinic where i seek consultation.. But, by God,, the explanation is unhelpful. Its like,, ur in the middle,, and it could go there or here.. IDK.. But ur video is simple and easy.. I hope i get over this soon..
holy moly, truly a life changing video. thanks brother
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you found it helpful!
I’m a vacillator & I never heard this get compared…interesting 👀 Getting abandoned doesn’t bother me as much. I’m most likely to abandoned someone first anyway. But if I do they deserve it because they either don’t respect me or they don’t care about my feelings & say I’m too emotional. They lack emotional intelligence which irritates my soul. So u gotta go & if u dismiss yourself that’s even better at the end of the day. Bye! Everyone deserves a partner who is willing to see your views & why u feel the way u feel. That’s why it’s easy for me to cut a narcissist off. They irritate my soul (eventually) & their comprehension skills when it comes to another persons view point is very low. Easily disposable if u ask me. My patience will eventually run low & I’ll continue with life like we never had any relationship to begin with 🤷🏽♀️ whether is romantic or platonic friendship. I still do have high expectations but I’m learning to just stay neutral, wait for the representative to go away & see a person for who they really are & then dismiss them if I need to.

I know I’m a vacillator, but one that has adapted to much healthier patterns. But it’s really hard for me to think about how I was possibly imprinted this way because my parents were amazing. However, as you were talking I do remember dreading my daycare situation because my mom worked. Maybe that was it? Maybe it’s something really early that I can’t remember. But I always wondered why.
Thanks for sharing! It is possible that you could have felt some form of abandonment.... Typically (but not always) we are positively biased toward our parents. Children process things differently, so there may be some unconscious feelings that you were not aware of at the time. I'm glad you are trying to work through things.
Such great information! Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the video. What if the partner of the Vacillator is inconsistent and does not fulfill the needs of the vacillator? Should the Vacillator lay low and let their partner continue to treat them that way? There is a difference between having too high expectations and not being satisfied with the partner's ways of expressing their love. It's confusing. Can a Vacillator ever be satisfied?
Great question. It is a balancing act between those but it doesn't need to be all or nothing. It is healthy to respectfully communicate your needs in addition to lowering your expectations. Expectations and needs are completely different, try to see them as independent of each other. Expectations are a perspective that can be shifted where needs are more universal and normal to most people. Try to identify your needs vs your wants as a good starter exercise.
@@IntentionalCounseling Thank you for your thoughtful answer. I will speak to my counsellor about it today. Very helpful :)
Great video, thank you! :)
I love your channel, thank you for this video.😊
Thank you for the encouragement! More videos to come!

Amazing video. Thank you! I'll save this video. Btw, anyone notice how straight the columns and rows are? They distracted me, so I got to see some parts twice. lol

Thank you so much!
i think ive been starting to figure this out on my own ( im 18 ) idolizing relationships is still a big problem for me, to the point ill get mad at my parents for basically not reading my mind and understanding what i want even when i say nothing. I hate how much my opinion on my own relationships (freindships) change moment to moment. once second ill thinking this is a fine relationship nothing special but its good and the next ill be wondering if we were ever freinds and if we were why they never reach out to me ( even tho i never reach out to them either) I hate reaching out to ppl i dont know why but i feel strong sesne of dread ever trying to reach out. I guess thats what i need to figure out next
Thanks for being honest and authentic! Practice reaching out to others to cultivate your relationships (even though it's hard). It will produce some anxiety, because of the fear of rejection or lack of reciprocation. However, it will help you overcome the fear when people respond well! It will also give you real information to go off of instead of going off your assumptions and fears. Hope that helps!
Omg 😢 I am the same. I looked for this video because I was having trouble with my gf. Reading your comment I realise it has effected my friendship also.
i'm scared at how this is exactly me... i need therapy
No need to beat yourself up. It’s healthy to acknowledge limitations and dysfunction because we all have them. It shows strength and humility to accept your humanness and work towards growing. Anyone can change for the good if they are motivated and willing!
Interesting video, but what does that person look like that is counter to this? Should one Not want the most out of there relationships? Do the best they can in relationships? Show, being committed, all they are, and share dreams and goals with that person? Be driven to provide stability and consistency within your romantic relationships? Or to be a victim of there trauma, and not desire healthy things that will fulfill both? There should be reciprocity within relationships, and you should be able to have a person, in your life that supports, nurture and cares for you too. To be present, and there to deal with their traits, and flaws, as you would also do in kind. It is as if with this, that you are neglecting that someone your involved with be not held accountable, and you because you have a condition, you take it, and lay down, in fear of pushing this person away, thus becoming a door mat, giving the green light to be treated in a way similar to how your parents may have treated you. Then in your adult years, rehashing the dysfunction from your childhood, of neglect and lack of agency to do anything about it, powerless and frozen, a slave to your fault. The right person, will, help you to face challenges, and lend the support you need, the wrong one won’t, so you move on. They don’t build them today to deal with the emotional capacity it takes to sustain long term in relationships, and as Kevin Samuels, said most should buy a dog and die alone. Because the opposite of this ideal forces you to be guarded, distant, non transparent and allusive. Perhaps that’s is our lot in life that deals with this condition.
I agree but to be fair the way I embarrassed myself in my last relationship bc of this was a sign that I had to get better. It’s always going to be there but the least people can do with this trait is come down to earth a bit and find a better partner instead of trying to ignore how you love and want to be loved. Also rip Kevin Samuels, I didn’t watch a lot of his stuff but I knew it was along the lines of focusing on yourself as a guy and stuff too.
your videos are very helpful. thank you
This hit so accurately, the video is great to understant the whole look of a vacillator and how they interact with loving parters.
Wait a second... If Voldemort had hair...🤔
I have bpd and live in Frisco. I've seen my therapist in Plano for 10 years now and would be interested in trying someone closer to home. Do you do in person therapy?
Absolutely! We would be happy to help you! Go to intentional-counseling.com and send an email to the therapist of your choice for scheduling.
3:56, this contrast is interesting.
Thanks for watching! Glad you are intrigued. Let us know if you have any specific questions or topics you want us to cover in the future!
2:29, the font is a little too small to read.

Lol at the fact that I’m a vacillator who was raised by a single mother with BPD💀💀
I'm sorry you've had that experience. I know it's difficult. There's hope for healing and restoration for you and anyone who wants to grow and improve.
Are you using the term “Vacillator” as synonymous with Fearful-Avoidant/Disorganized Attachment Style? Or are they somehow different?
Vacillator imprint (and all of the childhood imprints) are completely separate from attachment styles. Imprints are specific to interactions within romantic relationships and sometimes deep friendships.
@@IntentionalCounseling Attachment styles also only apply to our most intimate relationships
@@heartpoint5289 Attachment styles are a generalized overview of an individual's framework of self and others. Imprints are more specific. Both are helpful and relevant.
I disagree. Love style is our imprint for responding in relationships, and attachment style is our method for forming bonds. Vacillators can also have anxious attachments, not just disorganized attachments. Funny enough I am a vacillator and my sister suffers from borderline. On paper, we sound similar but in person, we couldn't be farther apart. She is very unstable and I can appear moody. When we get triggered, my response is to lash out and hers is to abuse you in any shape, form, or way. It is very random and frequent and easy to tick her off.
@@this_is_me_now Thank you for watching, sharing and disclosing your story!
What’s with the intermixing bipolar and borderline in the description? You do know its two totally different diagnoses, right?
yeah, definitely a typo.
Absolutely. They are very different. The video was in response to a specific viewer's question. I will take a look at the description box, thank you.

So what I'm getting is I was a disappointment to my parents then went on to find a vacillator so I could disappoint him too??
Hi Sarah, all people are intrinsically valuable, but sometimes a parent’s dysfunction can make you feel de-valued. We can believe that we are not valuable (or a disappointment) if we experienced deep hurt from others in the past. People sometimes marry what is familiar to them, but it’s not always the case. Any relationship can become healthier if both parties are willing to work on their half.
Can you clarify differences between this and bpd ?
Thanks for commenting, Laura. Sure, I'll have a video up for you this week so that I can go into detail
@@IntentionalCounseling thankyou !
