@scott.austin.martin: Building emotional capacity does not mean tolerating anything. It does not mean sitting through contempt. It does not mean withstanding hours of criticism. It does not mean allowing someone to attack your character while calling it growth. Capacity is your ability to stay present with difficult emotions without shutting down, exploding, or escaping. But capacity exists inside healthy boundaries — not instead of them. There's a difference between someone who has limited emotional capacity because they were never taught these skills, and someone who is unwilling to learn them. Those are not the same person. Berating someone for limited capacity rarely builds more capacity. It usually overwhelms the very nervous system you're asking to grow. You can become more emotionally available without abandoning yourself. That's exactly what secure attachment looks like. #relationships #relationshiptips #nervoussystem #menscoach
