lol .is not as if there is even a saying >how smart is it to do the same thing+expect different results? a stupid belief which is why doctors cant help serious addictions like anorexia,alcoolism,love addiction/deppresion..etc
Teal just helped me again and I'm past 4 years... sometimes it's almost inevitable, you feel, but that painful experience I had to just "hang out" with, essentially. Anyway, 3 yrs later, I remember this video helped me.
14 years now ... different forms of sobriety ... Consciously Processing Emotion is my biggest tool. Nothing else has come close. It keeps me conscious and vigilant.
One of the most helpful things she said in this video, was the last thing she mentioned. We can't really go backwards in this universe in our healing experience. Bless you Teal. 🙏🏻❤️
Love this. I went from being on the floor in dread to at least sitting up, Angry that myself was feeling that, by just writing myself from where I was, to what I want, to what I know. Writing really helps, it gets thoughts out of bouncing off walls in your mind to a release. Thank you Teal
Teal, I love how you talk to “these people,” and when I say, “these people” I mean people who may have these tendencies despite being well functioning in society. No one feels like change is possible when life is all doom and gloom. It is only when feeling heard by what feels like a good friend is hope possible. Thank you so much for your cool attitude, and loving way. You seem like the “cool” friend who is, without coddling you, trying to make you better. At the same time you’re not brutally severe- I love it!
Teal, I can't tell you how much this means to me. I am a die hard food addict, went through a 1 year program, but dropped out and slipped back into relapse. Now my health is paying a very serious toll. I stumbled across your vids and it was like the universe brought you to me. Bless your heart sweet lady. You may have just saved my life.
Teal absolutely nails it in this video!!! She totally nails it!!! I have felt this, improvement, improvement, 'relapse'...for a good period of time, and she just nails it in this video....regarding this 'condition' we all experience...with so much more clarity on the subject itself, am seeing the focus on this conscious awareness....regarding a feeling of relapse itself...if you have ever been in a relationship with a narcissistic person, you will understand the 'relapse'..that you 'fell for it again' and again and again, and it feels as if you back to square one with that person....the reality of that, is that you had a 'relapse' and trusted someone you know has caused you pain before, and many times....but you trust again, and get hurt again, back to square one.....and in understanding this concept of relapse...this is making sense....and for the first time...in a long time, Teal provides the validation I have been looking for, to understand the situation, circumstance, completely....what an amazing and wonderful video Teal shares with us here...this video is a blessing for anyone struggling with this...and as Teal mentions, many of us really are...and don't know how to 'get out' of the dynamic....this video gives you a green light towards moving out of that circumstance..acknowledging the relapse and understanding it...and going from there...
I have made so much progress over my life that I sometimes think of myself having reached a guru-like stage, with all of my sports, and cooking, and gardening, and reading, and art work, and writing, and yoga, and making music, and meditating, and doing things that give me joy, BUT then I have a relapse! Six months or a year later. Every relapse is milder, less threatening, but still to fall back into a behavior(s) that cause me to lose a few hours, or part of a day, is agonizing. Thank you Teal for this video. I watched it a few weeks ago, and thought, ha! I am done with having relapses, and then this weekend, when something really stressful happened, I didn’t even think I was that upset, but I had a moderate relapse!! Now, one step at a time back up that ladder out of here!!! Thank you, again, Teal!!!
Thank you very much for being there. You literally saved my life by showing me how I can save my life myself. You make me feel empowered and accepted as a whole person with embracing every part of me. Every time I feel bad or go through a relapse I know that these videos are still there and that I can watch them anytime. It gives me something to hold onto. Your teachings make me realize more and more how to deal with parts of myself i don't yet completely understand, emotions, and the parts of myself I am scared of sometimes. You show me how to embrace them and you give people actual tools to work with, so they can help themselves. This is one of the most important aspects I love about your channel. When you're depressed or something its difficult to get out if that downward spiral, but instead of looking down on people falling into that spiral and telling them to get the hell out of there, you show them how to build a ladder so that they can climb out themselves. You treat me with respect and dignity and you truly understand, and for that I wanna thank you. Thank you for giving me the tools to help myself.
My notes: enjoy! Depression about relapse itself (... yes.. me...) Don't make the relapse about you "What am i making this relapse mean about me and my life?" 1- you will be desperate to be out of relapse (don't resist, don't be desperate) 2- feel powerless to relapse and helpless to future - you are stuck in the past! (get to the present) you are dealing with "it happened" not "this is what could/should have happened" - futility in fighting the past. Forget right and wrong, just consider options and remember free will - play both options out for 1 week, 2 weeks, etc. 3- master your mind (don't go into downward spiral) ((stop thinking)) 4- 9:34 when it starts to feel like no matter how hard you try you end up at square 1 (DO THIS- imagine a little dude climbing up a ladder out of a hole.) 5- the reality people don't see: you hit another layer of the thing you're trying to transform - you are gaining consciousness here! relapse is INEVITABLE ("I am the only one!" nope. pain isolates you) 6- use mind to deliberately focus your way out of the hole - write things that will make you feel better "i'm in a relapse and this is why" - anything will be vibrational improvement 7- use mind to create feeling of thing you want but feel you can't keep (feel it bodily by searching for something that makes you feel relief) 8- take responsibility and action completely to commit to starting over in direction of improvement (if that is what you chose) Make a list of things you can do IMMEDIATELY 9- do not isolate yourself! (and not just the quantity of people you are around... connect!) 10 - become aware of what led to this relapse You have the power to design a life that prevents relapse. "There is no such thing as going backwards in this universe" - Teal
Those who do not move, do not notice their chains - relapse is part of the journey, we all reach plateaus and take a pause - what is important is our response to it - of staying strong and moving forward and not allowing it to flower into a full blown episode... #mindfulness
Mathieu Mclean thank you so much for doing this video. I have an almost 2 weeks clean from self harm and I'm afraid they'll start back up again. I really needed this. I think I asked you to do this. Thanks from the bottom of my heart teal. I wish you were my sister or my mom or whatever. I wish I could meet you
TomDark81 This is the age of Aquarius.... my flatmate and fellow Aquarian says that good things are forcast for this year. in the words of the late great Jim Morrison... "Well ive been down so God-damn long, that it looks like 'up' to me!!!!
Thank you so much...if anyone else is in that hole right now I just want you to know I am right there crying in this very moment with you..we are not a lone
This is such invaluable information. I'm actually a substance abuse counselor & life coach. However I understand this information from both sides. Not only had I spent well over 20 years as an addicted individual, I've also learned & healed myself into freedom from those addictions too (I'm clean for many years). I'm always looking for new ways to deliver this kind of information to clients (or anyone who seeks). Not only is it useful for those who still relapse, but it's also useful for people who struggle with negative behavior patterns. Reaching a person where they're going to really understand themselves, their behaviors, addictions & relapses is vital in order to realize that we all have the power to make new & healthier, informed decisions. I know how difficult the struggle with addiction (& relapse) is. But I also know that freedom from it is possible too! I will be saving this video & passing it along too! Thanks and much gratitude. Allyson from Connecticut
How fortunate that youtube showed this video today. Yesterday I was just getting over the fact that all my healing went down the drain. Yes this video really came at the right time 🙏 thanks Teal ❤
Thank you for this video Teal, I did came on a good time. I looked at the newsfeed and there was this video, just after I felt into relapse. I agree with you, we have to accept our past and focus on our future actions. I will write down my thoughts on a page next time I feel like falling back into my old pattern of destruction again.
18 months. I admire your insight and wisdom on life. Realized this last time I got clean that I must undergo a complete spiritual transmutation. Ended up uncovering much more than just how to stay clean going through the process. Also, I have the same tattoo Teal. This is a nod to knowledge of the meaning.
I relapse being around people as I feel always no one speaking to me and me not having the guts to speak to them and I relapse to make me more social the liquid bravery. How to be social sober. While they are not. That's hard. Do able though
Awesome. I understood everything you said, every example, every analogy. Thank you so much for not being too far out there with the language and presentation.
I relapsed and allowed my ex back into my life. Just by having any contact with him throws me into relapsing. I’ve been writing all night. Then, I thought to look up a relapse knowing you’d have a video. I had to first realize relapses that cause this magnitude of destruction aren’t just heroine relapses. I was addicted to a heroine addicted. I can’t relapse again. I can’t ever relapse again. For some reason each relapse creates a bigger destruction. Each time I rebuild myself, and then relapse it gets more real and more real. Creating action plan right now. I’m really hoping I can put action to my plan tomorrow. I’ve been practicing for 4 months on how to pull myself out of the shadows with scarce resources. I can do this. Thanks Teal💜
Yeah i had a Relapse too. My Ego was really want to bring me back : that i thought and accept "I am need to life forever alone !" And I am really surrendering to this ! And this process took more then 6 hours. Thank God to Meditaton ! I could distance myself from these thoughts ! It was like in the childhood that my mother was forcing me to believe thats the right thing to do ! I really cried a lot during the process. Never underestimate the power of the EGO !
Oh wow.... I am desperate..wow and i do want relief. And i wish i could make that call for instant relief but i chose teals message instead. Wow that clicked...wow you really understand the thought process behind this Teal 🙏never met a counselor who was 0.1% as helpful as you
Thank you Teal. Improvements are baby steps, self loving talk, console my inner child. Walk along the progress staying in today or where my feet plant me. Outcomes, cycling thru checking thru trauma, checking in with myself. Committed to self love, self mastery is a good process. I'm not my trauma.
Teal I have always wondered why spiritual teachers focus so damn much on thoughts and not on action which is important to lead a good human life.. now I don't have any such complain .. this video practically changed my view and hence my life.. thank you so much for doing this Teal 😊😊😘😘😘 PS: loved your closing statement 😅
I think the reason we focus on our past when we're feeling powerless is because we don't want to make the same mistakes over and over again....and feel that we MUST be missing some obvious "lesson", otherwise we wouldn't keep ending up in the same hell hole. If we can identify what errors we might have made in the past we have a better chance of avoiding those same mistakes in the future....REGARDLESS of the fact that the past can't be changed. This isn't "fighting the past". This is an attempt to learn from it, so that we can navigate our way forward with clearer vision, and is meant to be a GOOD thing....and CAN be a good thing, unless we can't find the "mis-step" or "mistake"...which leads to even more powerlessness..."learned helplessness"...and/or more obsessive "searching" of the past.
This is just perfect. Every time you post a video it's literally the same f-ing thing I'm experiencing. It's like your psychic :P Thank you for always giving me a heads up on my progress
Relapse is possible only if you let it happen. It gets worse if you resist and fight. Remember you achieved some spiritual elevation by acceptance and non resistance. There is a danger of misunderstanding a real spiritual development which remanifests similar pains as one grows in awareness or consciousness. one should be careful to distinguish a real relapse which is downward spiral as compared to real spiritual development where one perceives familiar emotions or thoughts at an elevated frame of spiritually developed mind. Every relapse as described in the later part is one step closer to achieving next spiritual leave. I love the possibilities of development that come along with upward spiral relapse that pushes one to perceive higher consciousness.
Thank you so much. Your words and wisdom are always so comforting to me. I really needed this... especially the onion comparison. Empowering perspectives.
thank you for the video teal. oddly enough I'm going through this right now and I've been out energy to stay on the right track and it's difficult.. however simply seeing this is a good reminder that I can either go with the universe, or against it :)
Honestly I wasn’t sure if watching this video was good or bad for me but honestly I am glad I did watch i because it has served me immensely. Loved the onion analogy!!! Really mind blowing and had an “ah-ha!” Moment.. this helps so much..
Now that I typed this out I thought about it too hard and once again I’m back to being too worried about getting it right, and feel again like I NEVER will. Two seconds ago when I felt ok with powerlessness, I didn’t feel CONFINED to powerlessness. Funny how the universe is, where literally everything is a paradox
Neo was so lucky to be in the position to chose between the red and the blue pill. I wonder what pill did he take to find the Morpheus in the first place. One thing I have in mind recently when I am feeling down, hurt, sad, powerless or lonely is that that is not completely true. It is actually a good place to start to share with people you experience, to inspire them, give them courage and motivate. Make of yourself an example. If I can do it, you can do it too, right
Relapse , Do it until you get it right. Each time you become more conscious.
lol .is not as if there is even a saying >how smart is it to do the same thing+expect different results?
a stupid belief which is why doctors cant help serious addictions like anorexia,alcoolism,love addiction/deppresion..etc
Unless it kills you
is always the best
Karla Dawn Jones that's getting it right
Ty Teal I needed to hear this. Ty Ty ty
Teal Swan has saved me once again
Relapse Intensity before: 100%
Relapse Intensity now: 40% ish
Working on lowering it more 🙏🏻
Care Bear Im there too
Teal just helped me again and I'm past 4 years... sometimes it's almost inevitable, you feel, but that painful experience I had to just "hang out" with, essentially. Anyway, 3 yrs later, I remember this video helped me.

Not ashamed to admit i shed a tear watching this
This is why I follow her. Because without question, I know she understands. It's relieving.
One of the most helpful things she said in this video, was the last thing she mentioned. We can't really go backwards in this universe in our healing experience. Bless you Teal. 🙏🏻❤️

Depression about relapse itself (... yes.. me...)
Don't make the relapse about you
"What am i making this relapse mean about me and my life?"
1- you will be desperate to be out of relapse (don't resist, don't be desperate)
2- feel powerless to relapse and helpless to future - you are stuck in the past! (get to the present) you are dealing with "it happened" not "this is what could/should have happened" - futility in fighting the past. Forget right and wrong, just consider options and remember free will - play both options out for 1 week, 2 weeks, etc.
3- master your mind (don't go into downward spiral) ((stop thinking))
4- 9:34 when it starts to feel like no matter how hard you try you end up at square 1 (DO THIS- imagine a little dude climbing up a ladder out of a hole.)
5- the reality people don't see: you hit another layer of the thing you're trying to transform - you are gaining consciousness here! relapse is INEVITABLE ("I am the only one!" nope. pain isolates you)
6- use mind to deliberately focus your way out of the hole - write things that will make you feel better "i'm in a relapse and this is why" - anything will be vibrational improvement
7- use mind to create feeling of thing you want but feel you can't keep (feel it bodily by searching for something that makes you feel relief)
8- take responsibility and action completely to commit to starting over in direction of improvement (if that is what you chose) Make a list of things you can do IMMEDIATELY
9- do not isolate yourself! (and not just the quantity of people you are around... connect!)
10 - become aware of what led to this relapse
You have the power to design a life that prevents relapse.

hope ur still going strong after all these years :)
Hope you are doing well! how are you?
This is unbelievably valuable

This is exactly what I needed to see today. Life sure is a struggle. Thanks to Teal we have very valuable information to help us.

You hit the nail on the head about living in the past ! it makes perfect sense ! 💖
Your videos are pure gold, Teal. Thank you.
How fortunate that youtube showed this video today. Yesterday I was just getting over the fact that all my healing went down the drain. Yes this video really came at the right time 🙏 thanks Teal ❤

I agree with you, we have to accept our past and focus on our future actions. I will write down my thoughts on a page next time I feel like falling back into my old pattern of destruction again.
This may be my favorite one yet, and that's saying something.
I want to hug you, Teal
Same here.
She's so beautiful.😂
+Alisa: Go to her next seminar! :)

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED 😅 ❤️
Teal can you do a video to avoid isolation and a video to heal social anxiety? Thank you so much Teal. Love...

I relapse being around people as I feel always no one speaking to me and me not having the guts to speak to them and I relapse to make me more social the liquid bravery. How to be social sober. While they are not. That's hard. Do able though

Thanks Teal💜
Thank you for healing my inner teenager.
this is just perfect timing. is there something bigger going on here ?
As Nature Intended yes you're waking up it's really happening enjoy it.
Andrew the Snowmon wow thank you. ♡
As Nature Intended perfect timing is when I accept the answer I'm looking for.
Yeah i had a Relapse too. My Ego was really want to bring me back : that i thought and accept "I am need to life forever alone !"
And I am really surrendering to this ! And this process took more then 6 hours.
Thank God to Meditaton ! I could distance myself from these thoughts !
It was like in the childhood that my mother was forcing me to believe thats the right thing to do !
I really cried a lot during the process.
Never underestimate the power of the EGO !
As Nature Intended yeah what's going on is that teal is a genius
Oh wow.... I am desperate..wow and i do want relief. And i wish i could make that call for instant relief but i chose teals message instead. Wow that clicked...wow you really understand the thought process behind this Teal 🙏never met a counselor who was 0.1% as helpful as you
Teal is so gifted and special ! 👍 💪 💖
Thank you for making this 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽. Im coming back from a relapse atm(day 2), so this is incredibly timely and helpful.
thank you teal! i wish to meet you again, i saw you at the amsterdam synchronisation event
Thanks, Teal Swan, for making so many great videos. They are so helpful to me; they are truly awesome!
Ur videos are really helpful. Thank you
Thank you :) wow, just knowing the positive swing to relapse... weight off my shoulders
I needed this so so badly :(
wow what a synchronicity...really needed this. thank you
I love the ending of this video. Ive relapsed and it nice to not feel alone. Thank you Teal Swan!
Just had three months alcohol free and a now a week drinking and hated it and myself, l didn't
Drink too much, two days sober now.
All love home girl. Your service to humanity, Gaia and the universe as whole is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!
They dont explain it like you🙏
Your words never cease to amaze me.... thanks... so young beautiful and wise ... so glad I came across you. x
Thank you Teal. Improvements are baby steps, self loving talk, console my inner child. Walk along the progress staying in today or where my feet plant me. Outcomes, cycling thru checking thru trauma, checking in with myself. Committed to self love, self mastery is a good process. I'm not my trauma.
Teal, you are a gift❤️ This video had me in tears ~ and, yeah, the timing is uncanny.
Teal I have always wondered why spiritual teachers focus so damn much on thoughts and not on action which is important to lead a good human life.. now I don't have any such complain .. this video practically changed my view and hence my life.. thank you so much for doing this Teal 😊😊😘😘😘
PS: loved your closing statement 😅
thoughts create actions
brava! elegantly put. so wise and such a comfort. you are the consummate healer.
I think the reason we focus on our past when we're feeling powerless is because we don't want to make the same mistakes over and over again....and feel that we MUST be missing some obvious "lesson", otherwise we wouldn't keep ending up in the same hell hole.

Teal your literally a genius
Thank you! This was so badly needed. By me at least. Thank you i'll watch your other vids.
you're not alone.

Has it helped you?
Again perfect timing Teal ?! Much ❤❤❤❤❤❤ so needed right now 🙏
This is just perfect. Every time you post a video it's literally the same f-ing thing I'm experiencing. It's like your psychic :P Thank you for always giving me a heads up on my progress
thanks Teal :} light and love to you and everyone else who watches this.
Wow 😲 never have words made me feel better about my relapse. Even tho I did not sleep your video will make my day enjoyable now!

I feel so guilty but what you just said. Wow! Thank you
Omg Teal you are really out here changing lives ( like mine)... I fucking love You! Thanks 😍😍
golden words! thank you Teal
Dammit! How are you so tapped in?!! Super grateful for you
The ending of this video is theee best Teal “mic drop”! :) Made me chuckle. Thanks Teal for the amazing content, as always.
Wow. You are an awesome inspirational person. Thank you!
wow I need to listen to all of these
Wow, thank you Teal!
Relapse is possible only if you let it happen. It gets worse if you resist and fight. Remember you achieved some spiritual elevation by acceptance and non resistance. There is a danger of misunderstanding a real spiritual development which remanifests similar pains as one grows in awareness or consciousness. one should be careful to distinguish a real relapse which is downward spiral as compared to real spiritual development where one perceives familiar emotions or thoughts at an elevated frame of spiritually developed mind. Every relapse as described in the later part is one step closer to achieving next spiritual leave.

Relapse is inevitable for everyone Wink/ lol
Thanks for this video Teal. I’ve been struggling ignorantly with relapse for years. Makes more sense now
if it is inevitable, how comes some addicts never relapse???
I was just thinking about this
Love seeing your beautiful face girlie. Thank you for sharing another great video!!! 😘🌸
Thank you so much. Your words and wisdom are always so comforting to me. I really needed this... especially the onion comparison. Empowering perspectives.
Thankyou Teal for your continued insight and wisdom.xx
Heading to rehab a second time! Leaving my family behind.
thank you for the video teal. oddly enough I'm going through this right now and I've been out energy to stay on the right track and it's difficult.. however simply seeing this is a good reminder that I can either go with the universe, or against it :)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! IT WAS AN AMAZINGLY GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Wow. One of your best! Thank you!
This is a truly great video!
Honestly I wasn’t sure if watching this video was good or bad for me but honestly I am glad I did watch i because it has served me immensely. Loved the onion analogy!!! Really mind blowing and had an “ah-ha!” Moment.. this helps so much..
I just chose to be powerless and the most freeing feeling washed over me- nobody ever talks about that option, let alone in a positive light
Now that I typed this out I thought about it too hard and once again I’m back to being too worried about getting it right, and feel again like I NEVER will. Two seconds ago when I felt ok with powerlessness, I didn’t feel CONFINED to powerlessness. Funny how the universe is, where literally everything is a paradox
yes. connection is the cure for addiction.
and here again.. was 2 years sober this time
You're so awesome Teal! Thank you!
Teal, we love you
Neo was so lucky to be in the position to chose between the red and the blue pill. I wonder what pill did he take to find the Morpheus in the first place. One thing I have in mind recently when I am feeling down, hurt, sad, powerless or lonely is that that is not completely true. It is actually a good place to start to share with people you experience, to inspire them, give them courage and motivate. Make of yourself an example. If I can do it, you can do it too, right
The first part of that I said thank you teal.
Thank you teal for sharing this
