@thepottymouthguru: You can desperately want your life to change and still keep doing the exact 💩 that keeps you stuck. That doesn’t mean some secret part of you enjoys suffering. It means the pattern is probably doing something for you in the moment. Maybe it gets you out of shame. Rejection. Conflict. Uncertainty. Feeling out of control. Whatever feeling your system has decided is a giant @&$¥ NO. And unfortunately, the thing that gives you relief for five minutes can also keep you miserable for five years. So instead of only asking, “Why the ¥£€% do I keep doing this?” Start asking: What does doing this save me from having to feel right now? That question can change the whole conversation. Follow if you want more than another list of what’s wrong with you. We’re actually going to do something about it over here. ❤️🤟🏻🌿 #UNFUCKYOURSELF #THEPOTTYMOUTHGURU #Healing #SelfAwareness #EmotionalHealing
The “payout” part pissed me off the first time I learned it too. 🫠 It doesn’t mean you WANT the pattern. Sometimes the payout is literally just: “If I do this, I don’t have to feel that for the next five minutes.”
What does your go-to pattern get you away from? 👀❤️🤟🏻🌿

My marriage counselor has been saying a lot that you are saying but you explain it so much better. She was really pissing me off because there were no examples or context. You make everything you say so much easier to understand. And I too have a pottymouth so the f-bombs here and there really make it easier 😂

Been getting a lot better at being uncomfortable… sitting in the suck ain’t easy but the long term payouts are worth it.

I am learning this! It’s sooo hard!! My therapist and I had been having it OUT about this for months about why it benefited me from over functioning or pursuing or not having boundaries etc. and I was so stuck thinking I wanted the pattern (I didn’t) and now I GET it. It’s worth the work but it’s so HARD

I have (undiagnosed but FOR SURE) OCD and while I know you’re talking about shame here, dealing with OCD is very similar - I have to sit with the fear and uncertainty instead of asking for reassurance all the time (even though the compulsion to ask temporarily reduces/removes the fear)

I’m convinced that my mind brings up scary things to keep my nervous system in a heightened state because that’s how my system was operating for years. And now in burnout recovery trying to show my system a new way.. my mind brings up scary things…

I like your content. Simi related, I feel like a freedom fighter who may be good at the bloody coup part but now I have to balance a budget, build infrastructure, engage in diplomatic relations... I believe I'm capable, I've come this far but it is different now.

your content has made it easier to explain things to my STBX-husband. I'm no longer waiting for him to change for me, but I can't fully give up because my son deserves a father who can sit with uncomfortable feelings for longer than two seconds before exploding or abandoning himself.
