@sashablossom: There are certain parts of yourself you will only ever get to meet through experiences & relationships. This can be uncomfortable. So many of us would rather be a ‘finished product’ before putting ourselves out there. It can feel terrifying to be seen trying. To be seen learning. To be seen in humanness. 🌱🌱But to be seen in these states is where intimacy grows. Now, to be clear, there is definitely value in knowing when you need to step away from certain connections, especially romantic ones, to work on your patterns/NS inwardly. This is a necessary part of the work for everyone, to different extents. If you’ve been in trauma bonds, for example, taking a while off dating can be good for you. This especially applies if you know your current patterns are causing harm to you or others But there’s a line. There’s a line where healing in solitude becomes avoidance. Or perfectionism. Or aversion to vulnerability. Healing is about connection inward AND outward, until the two blend into each other in a beautiful kind of integration. And staying with yourself through all of it. To Love is the learn. We heal in connection, with self, with others, with earth. 💚 Ps this doesn’t only apply to romantic relationships. All healthy connections including friendships can be corrective 🌱 #Relationships #dating #healing #attachment #therapy
