The reality is, we are living in a pretty toxic system that teaches us pretty toxic relationship habits.
We live in a culture that prioritizes individuality above all things, that teaches us that vulnerability is a liability, that teaches us to reject who and what we really are in order that we 'fit in' better.
We live in a world where many people have grown up in situations where they were unsafe - mentally/emotionally/spiritually/physically - and due to this have developed coping strategies that have led to an inability to be a safe place in relationship.
We live in a world where we are very much pitted against one another - taught to be in a state of constant competition and looking out for ourselves at the expense of community and community connection.
We're taught to deny our feelings, to have little to no space for introspection and self awareness and aren't given tools to effectively convey how we're feeling or what we're thinking - but rather are taught to deflect, deny, defend and otherwise be in states of defense and shut down most of the time.
So is it any wonder that when we try to relate to one another, there's often a lack of capacity to communicate, a lack of ability to be in community and to show up for others in an authentic way, and a lack of ability to build those around us up?
Is it any wonder that we have a bunch of dysfunction, distrust and general unhealthy patterns in our relationships?
Today we are going to talk about what to do about all of this.
How to find connection that is safe enough, while protecting ourselves from connection that is simply not going to be healthy because the person or people on the other side aren't able to do what's required to be a safe place.
We're going to talk about how WE can become a safe space for relationships without over-exposing ourselves or allowing ourselves to be harmed - as well as how to not swing so far the other way that we cut out EVERYONE who isn't able to be totally healthy.
Relationships are complex, and learning to navigate them isn't easy - so let's talk about this today and see if we can find some tools to make it just a little bit easier.
