How your partner was loved as a child will show up in: how they react when hurt, how they communicate during conflict, and how they respond when you share your feelings.

5. Spend time alone Spend time alone with your own thoughts rather than planning every minute of your day. Take yourself out on a date alone. Spend time getting to know you. Confident people are self-aware and don't need to always be around other people.

Question to ask yourself before reaching out to someone who hurt you: “if this person doesn’t respond in the way I’m seeking, will I be ok or will this open the wound.” If the answer is it will open the wound— wait. It’s not the time.

Let's talk about disorganized attachment and why you may have chaotic relationships with intense conflict:

If you witnessed your parents in a toxic relationship filled with blame or shame, you’ll need time to heal and unlearn love as pain or self sacrifice. Healthy love is your birthright.

Our mind creates stories all day long through assigning meaning to everything you experience. Witness the mind spinning its story: does the story benefit you? Or does it leave you helpless or locked in the past?

The first step in healing is realizing perfectionism is an illusion. None of us are perfect. And (contrary to how we've been conditioned) mistakes are how we grow and evolve.

How To Begin Your Healing Journey: 1. Get to know your inner child: Perfectionistic parents tend to be rigid, overprotective, controlling or demanding. Get to know the spontaneous, silly, playful inner child within yourself.

2. Stop planning every moment: perfectionistic parents plan every moment of their children’s lives. I’ve heard stories about having such a packed schedule with sports and activities, there was never a moment to just be. Plan unscheduled time just for you.

3. Do something new and let it not be perfect: get a coloring book and color outside of the lines, buy a new book and read out of order, play a new instrument and fumble through it. Start becoming uncomfortable with being outside of your comfort zone.
