I've been single for so many years, I'm so uncomfortable with the idea of even chancing a relationship like I have participated in, in the past, that I don't even consider the idea of allowing someone into my world
I feel that way too, but I’d like to still try
It is really scary and may turn out negative....but it may, with awareness and communication, be nourishing too. It does come with risk, being nourished by relationships. Best wishes 👍
I'm the same way. I've been single for 15 years. I just can't bring myself to ever take another chance on "love." I just can't. I've built myself a life around being single, alone, because it's safer, and ultimately, more fulfilling. I'm happier now than I've ever been in my life. I'm more secure, wealthier, capable, self confident, etc than I've ever been with someone else. I don't have to worry if I'm a little late getting home from work. I don't have to worry what someone will say if I spend a little money, if I buy something on a whim, if I snuggle up with a good book or a good movie. I don't have to worry about someone getting mad about what I'm wearing when I leave the house.
Many which they could say they r single & could be single.
Thank you for expressing precisely my own feelings and how I choose to protect myself from life-risking romantic love.
Not me. No way. You'd have to be mad to risk all this peace and sanity in the hope of getting some affection.
“It’s the inner child doing the dating “
Oh…
I’m in trouble then…
i have been reduced into a puddle of tears listening to this. because i too have recently gone no contact with my parents and while i love my partner for helping me get out, and now i reside with his family who have been so supportive and kind to me, its been so hard to adjust to this healthy lifestyle and i often find myself saddened because i feel out of place and alone, and they are unable to understand my pain. thankfully my therapist has been doing amazing with teaching me about my inner child and the grieving process, you guys do amazing work, please never stop and take care of yourself.
It's true...and sad, but game changer to identify, admit, accept, and then change. My little one is driving the bus in ALL relationships, looking for a partner, friend, boss, or even the checker at the store to finally give me what my parents didn't. My inner child is saying "when is it gonna be my turn?" and "This person is the ONE...to finally get my needs met and be treated and loved the way I always wished for and to prove I am worthy of loving". Yep, these are the literal messages from my child. LOL
There's a scene in "The Fisher King" where Robin Williams' character, out of a fugue state, whispers to Jeff Bridges' character, "Is it okay for me to hurt now?"
Absolutely leveled me the first time I saw it.
You are the one who can give that inner child all those things! With self love, and care. No one can give your inner child what she is looking for but you. Then you will be ready to find a partner who compliments you, not completes you ❤
I’d love to see an episode about growing up with a seriously ill parent, who was also very toxic, and how that affects and traumatizes children.
Idk, being single is the gift of a lifetime. There really is nothing more worthwhile than getting to truly know yourself. Carl Jung said that. There are many "gifts" from trauma, we just don't recognize them because it's not "typical"
What are they?
Who says that has to stop once in a relationship?
So true!
I cant wait to have my own space again. Separated but kids and finances mean staying for now. Reality.
When i can though, it would be just lovely to have a friendship then something deeper with someone. Life is short. I would like to have a real relationship next time. Ive never been in one fully aware of my needs.
Hi Patrick, I feel like my inner child is running the show. Can you provide tips for self-discipline and sticking to a schedule for my goals? Thanks so much.
Wow this feels like a hug
Yes being playful helps, though I bring along my adult self to keep grounded. Truly exhilarating. I'm navigating this now. So all the trauma n pain hit like a tsunami even after many years of healing whilst navigating living grief. Time to continue healing n expanding my inner self. Much Gratitude 🎉
Not getting anywhere, stuck. I have a hard time believing there'll be something good and better in my life. I need help, but the only real and deep people are online and far away. Should I relocate to the nearest true caring soul who experienced same stuff and managed better?
No, you need to find a good therapist who specializes in what your needs are, and can help you heal, and show you how to live a life of health, and happiness. No one else can do that for you, except God maybe, if you believe.
@@cdow9032 Even God can't due to free will. One has to choose to live happily and healthy.
Somehow I'm avoidant and professionals were not understanding in the past due to n-mother selecting them for me.
❤❤❤

Thanks for the informative video.
THIS IS GOOD.😂😂😂😂❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅😅😅
my mother is LPN... she literally bought a hospital in Wyoming.. I am just sitting here being nothing
Is she the one who made feel that way about yourself?
Can you do a video about men and women being used I feel angry towards men and even the men i date I feel such untruthworthyness like they’re going to use me. I have issues with that and getting into relationships
A list ??! ! Dating is difficult, boundaries,...
A lust ??? ! Please when to share what ?
I want to be known...but how?
