In this tenth episode, we are talking about relationships - and on a very apt day as it's Valentines Day! Below are a few key areas from our discussion...
THE PERKS AND QUIRKS OF RELATIONSHIPS
We talk about how we change as we get older - what we once found attractive, we may no longer. Certain friends may come and go. Are there patterns that are presenting in relationships? Are these founded from our experiences in childhood?
Do we experience healthier relationships once we have worked on the most important relationship - the one with ourselves?
Are you an Empath? We talk about first-hand experiences of being an Empath and the dysfunctional aspects that may occur in relationships - the Empath gives and the Narcissist takes. We discuss this may tie in with Empaths struggling to set healthy boundaries.
We chat about people also being referred to as ‘sensitives’ or highly sensitive people and some of the problems this may present - particularly with children.
So if you are a ‘sensitive’ what might your experiences be? Well, you might feel overwhelmed in crowded spaces, struggle with a lot of loud noise, need alone time to reboot yourself, have a sense of knowing about how people feel around you, without them telling you.
Empaths want to fix things - fix problems to help others. We talk about how easy it is to internalise other people’s feelings through this sense of wanting to help - then it’s hard to separate out what’s mine and what’s yours.
What are energetic transactions? This feedback loop of energy that is going back and forth between people. Empaths merge with other people. Where they end and the other person begins, gets really blurry and then it’s hard to maintain a sense of self. You can lose yourself a little bit when you’re so focused on the other person.
We talk about the power play in relationships - who has it. Does it get passed back and forth - where does this come from? Does it come from a place of lack or fear?
Getting to know yourself is important - the most powerful work you can do is discover what it means to be you!
Triggers in relationships! We all experience them. It’s not just about the situation that’s triggered you, if you feel triggered it’s brining forward something that you’ve not fully healed or dealt with.
The perks of relationships - there’s so many but we talk about how important it is to be completely yourself with someone. It’s so freeing!
Healthy relationships don’t make you feel restricted - they support you to follow your heart and dreams, they encourage you and see the positives. They don’t judge you when you make mistakes.
What about synchronistic meetings with others? When you seem to meet the right people at the right time. How can these help us learn, evolve, move forwards etc.
Do you have a soul tribe? Are you connecting with more like-minded people? Does this help you flourish and feel accepted and comfortable - finding your soul tribe is like finding a sense of community and it’s so important.
