    I was once told that you should believe that "you" are the one you are looking for. This helps me to lose the "glow" of falling in love. I prefer to see people as "human" and not to expect too much. Going slow and seeing the person "realistically". Not to fall into the "please rescue me" from the responsibility of my emotional growth.

    Found myself at 25, wondering why I keep trying to mentally find the solution to heal my abusive marriage. It all came back to my mom. I always felt if i did all the heavy lifting then she would love me. If i was perfect and saved HER first then she would love me. I find myself tussling with the same thoughts but with a man who physically harmed me. The wound is dangerous in so many ways.

    I've been on a journey of personal healing for years. It just hit me that I am gathering more and more information with the hope it will finally make the difference. Reading self-help books, going to therapy, and other methods. I've done so much. I'm not saying it's hopeless but I'm recognizing that no "thing" or "person" can fill the void. It's all hope. My little child inside holding onto hope. I question if anything can fix this empty feeling. I have so much and I'm grateful. However, I wanted my parents to see, hear, and know me. The grief of never knowing that feeling hurts so much.

      I hear you. I’ve learned that you are the person who can fill the void. Seeing yourself fully and loving and accepting yourself fills the void. This is a process but it looks like allowing yourself to fully feel the grief and all of the feelings that come along with it, and cuddling yourself, validating your feelings, whatever makes you feel seen, heard, understood. Sending you so much love 🤍

    I am so grateful that you are making videos again- the depth of your sharing and insight are such gifts going out into the world, while the *way* you explain things just works SO well for me. I know I’m going to come back to this one again repeatedly because the truth of it landed so deeply and with clarity- *this* is how to finally walk away and leave it behind. This is what I was trying to describe but couldn’t find all the elements. Thank you, so very much; I’m definitely looking forward to the continued journey to beyond the wound.

      @@apatheliac Well, I don’t know what’s best for you, but I wish you the best. But a lot of the time during therapy I didn’t really know I was being re-parented. It was only after yours went by that I look back, and I realized that the whole therapeutic relationship taught me what healthy relationships are, by being in the healthy relationship (the therapeutic relationship). So although I was always in there talking about “my problems”, in reality I was learning a whole new paradigm.

    It’s interesting how people react to abuse in extremes. Roles change, co-dependency, or self hate, or the opposite becoming the abuser vs. abusee.

    Dear Alan,
    Thank you again for another video.
    I am still trying to understand all this, but from the bottom of my heart, I would just request a favor (albeit from a perfect stranger) that however you continue to run your practice to please never take these videos down. I know you have mentioned considering that before. Even though I don’t fully understand all of what you’ve shared yet, or the science of attachment styles, etc., I have believed your videos have been a lifeline for me. Some of them I have watched over and over and feel that I have gotten something new almost every time.
    Sincerely

      I agree, Alan, please never take your videos down. I mean yes, I have my own therapist, so I’m not dependent on the videos. But your videos it’s hard to describe, but they just demonstrate exactly with so much of us I’ve gone through. I never had major trauma like physical or sexual abuse. But I was from a home that lacked appreciation for who I was. I was the black sheep. And your videos just hit spot on with me. That I still go back and watch them sometimes. You get it.

    As you talk about this especially that bit about a parent engaging the child and being able to care for their emotional self, I noticed just how many avenues they could have approached that conversation from and all it would have taken is just getting over themselves so that their own needs don't overshadow those of their kids which is what ended up happening. Now not only are they catering to their own needs and wounds, they sign up their respective partners and children, now everyone Is catering to the wounds of the parents, children are essentially left to emotionally care for themselves. Healing from Emotional neglect is very painful, it's opening yourself up to layers of unacknowledged hurt, disappointment, grief, loss etc that went on for years and formed the blueprint of how you see yourself and what you're willing to put up with. Healing means starting to see yourself as worthy of having these things catered to Firsr by yourself, you have to accept your needs and cater to them, then be bold enough to ask for others to meet them and feel deserving enough to have them met.

    Thanks so much, Alan. I did end the relationship with my mum, due to the only relationship on offer from her was through that shame. I was being actively encouraged to feel shame so she was comfortable in the relationship. I couldn’t do it anymore. She was physically and emotionally abusive towards me and my sibling. She eventually left the family home without telling us where she went. Years later I wanted to give it another try and tried for years. I felt held in the shame in order to be around her. I e now cut ties, let go of hope, let go of the fairytale type idea of her being anything other than who she is. Now there’s grief and I still haven’t shaken the shame of not being enough to love. Your explanations are part of me moving forward. Thank you, as ever,

    Let’s be honest most “wellness coaches” and similar people are looking for a way to make money from the comfort of their home with minimal investment into their own training or knowledge (not all but many) And them some people say that “therapy doesn’t work” when they don’t work with a qualified professional 😟

    I always find your videos so insightful and so interesting.
    I know exactly what you're getting at regarding the difference between knowledge/information/bullet points, etc...and lived experience/process/intra and interpersonal exchange.
    Now that you're pointing it out, I'm recognizing (I think) that our culture seems to be slowly edging out time and opportunities for the latter...turning many of us into something like "brains with legs". which then tends to make me want to retreat more and more because I can feel the need for balance...and feel, somehow, retreating is the only way to escape a sense of "pressure" to be constantly productive and/or "useful"...and logical...and not to "waste" a moment, etc.......but of course retreating doesn't help with the need for interpersonal exchange. Kind of a catch 22. I wonder if a lot of this trend of humans becoming more and more like "brains with legs" is a far bigger problem than just "not recognizing" the need to actually "live" one's life...There seems to be less and less of the "type" of human exchange necessary available to us, that we would really thrive on.
    When I was a kid...(before cell phones and social media)...there were so many ways to just naturally connect, face to face with people in random unplanned ways. There was room for the "the delightfully unexpected" to occur...and it did...regularly. Life unfolded "organically" (I usually hate that word, but it seems appropriate here) I have a feeling this is where the "juice" of life resides...but maybe it was just so much a part of normal life that we hardly recognized the value in it, if we recognized it at all...So when we moved into the age of cell phones, social media, video games, and living/interacting primarily online...we didn't have a clue what we were giving up. It wouldn't surprise me if this is one of the major causes of our ever increasing mental health issues. Humans are not evolved to live this way.

      Wow, I 100% agree with everything you said. I also grew up in the 70s and early 80s before cell phones and computers. And they are useful to us, I do feel like the lack of human interaction is contributing to problems and mental health. And these problems are not like the big diagnosable problems. It’s just more like where we’ve gotten used to living without much human contact. And that’s not good.

    Uncanny timing, mate. I've kinda clicked on this in the last week or so that the way to kinda heal/release resentment is to give what was always missing to ourselves instead of chasing it from the source of the pain. It's like filling a hole in the yard with water, sure the hole is technically full but come the morning, it's empty again. If anything, the hole gets bigger over time. There comes a time where we have to look at the yard and realise what we're doing by filling the hole with external material isn't working.
