🫶🏽 This is often difficult for many to come to terms with, acknowledge, and even accept. However, we all are a product of the pain that came before us. 🫶🏽How we break the toxic cycle is to first acknowledge and accept that healthy relationships may have been non-existent in our childhood. 🫶🏽We have to remove the narrative. "Well, this is how I grew up or how I was raised." 🫶🏽We change our narrative to "I am the cycle breaker and healthy relationships begin with me" 🫶🏽The work isn't easy, but the outcome of changing your legacy is worth it! ⬇️Comment your thoughts below⬇️ #mentalhealth #blackgirlmagic #mentalhealthawareness #therapist #blacktherapist #selflove #selfcare #affirmations #healing #love #innerchild #innerchildhealing #generationaltrauma #therapist #lifecoaching #mentalhealthmatters #soulResilience #melanatedtherapist #healingjourney #generationalhealing #toxicrelationships #blackmentalhealth #relationships

➡️Let's break this down: 🔸️We all have things we have experienced in our lifetimes, ESPECIALLY childhood that shape the way we show up in this world. 🔸️The number one way your past pains, insecurities, fears, and traumas show up are in relationships. That is because relationships are the most vulnerable form of human connection. Our relationships are where we seek what we may have needed and /or project what we fear. Most times, this is subconscious. Meaning you often DON'T REALIZE YOU'RE DOING THIS!!! 🔸️When you find yourself romantisizing, trying to heal, fix, parent, or control your partner this could be an indication of a deeper rooted issue you have yet to uncover, process, and address. 🔸️When you do the work within yourself, you choose better, accept and tolerate less, recognize and honor your worth, and are able to make room for what you truly deserve. ➡️‼️Share with me your comments and like this post in support! #mentalhealth #blackgirlmagic #mentalhealthawareness #therapist #blacktherapist #selflove #selfcare #affirmations #healing #love #innerchild #innerchildhealing #generationaltrauma #therapist #lifecoaching #mentalhealthmatters #soulResilience #melanatedtherapist #healingjourney

➡️This concept is: Self care vs Self Preservation 🤩Self care is an everlasting and multi faceted concept. The things we are familiar with help us to distract or remove ourselves from over stimulation and exhaustion. It is necessary. 🤩When you also focus on the points mentioned of what we need, you then tap into self preservation. The act of preserving yourself from depletion. ❤️‍🩹Self preservation is the premptive approach to self care and the most selfless act of self love! ➡️➡️Let's chat in the comments.

🥴There is alot of confliction with the disorganized or fearful attachment style. This individual has intense fear of rejection but has strong desires for intimate connections. 🥴This individual typically has high agitation and irritability stemming from fear resulting in pushing people away. 🥴Shame, feeling unworthy and unlovable is often a narrative with this attachment style. 🥴This attachment style can stem from past abuse, neglect, chaotic dysfunctional upbringing, witnessing violence and abuse at an early age. ❤️‍🩹Boundaries are essential with this attachment style and learning healthy communication to help build healthier relationships. 🙏🏽➡️Did this resonate with any of you? #boundaries #attachmentstyle #healing #selflove #melanatedtherapist #mentalhealth #therapist #selfawareness #anxiety #fearful #avoidant #lifecoach #therapistofig #blackgirlmagic #melanin #counselor #mentalhealthawareness

❤️‍🩹For instance, someone with an anxious attachment style may become anxious and insecure when their partner doesn't immediately respond to a text message, leading them to repeatedly reach out or seek reassurance that they are still valued and loved. ❤️‍🩹This behavior is not driven by a desire to be overly dependent, but rather by an innate longing for emotional connection and stability. 🎯Understanding your attachment style can help dramatically improve relationships, provide insight into your healing and change the course of your life. ➡️⁉️ Share your thoughts below #healthymindset #mindsetcoach #attachmentstyles #anxious #Generationalpain #Innerchildhealing #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthquotes #lifecoach #selflove #blackmentalhealth #mentalhealthquotes #mindfullness #mindset #motivation #blacktherapist #mentalhealthcoach #soulresilience #melanatedtherapist #ranchocucamonga #selfcare #Emotions #Affirmations #inlandempire #California #healing

🎯Please see my previous post where I break down the varying attachment styles ‼️Avoidant individuals may appear high functioning, confident and self-assured. What actually may be underneath the surface is an individual that may have experienced at an early age consequence, shame, discouragement and/or rejection due to expressing themselves.  As a protection mechanism they are detached from their emotion due to subconscious fear, rejection and abandonment of being emotionally vulnerable and available. ❤️‍🩹Avoidants often struggle to build intimate connections because of the fear of the vulnerability and to relate to others. They have learned to push their emotions, suppress their emotions or dismiss their emotions and play it “safe”.  🫂Avoidants and their relationships can manifest in many ways.  The information above is not mutually exclusive and is not absolute.  This information is guided to bring some awareness and things to consider when struggling yourself or with others in your life and seeking to gain understanding. 💕The biggest gift we can give others is safety.  When we feel emotionally safe, we feel free to be vulnerable which allows us to build stronger, intimate and healthy relationships. Do not shame, seek to understand, offer empathy and SEE them! ⁉️➡️What thoughts came to mind reading this post?⁉️ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #blackmentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #minoritymentalhealth #blacktherapist #selflove #therapy #blackmentalhealthmatters #mentalwellness #healing #wellness #innerchildhealing #innerchildwounds #therapist #meditation #selfvalidation #therapistsofinstagram #innerchildhealing #anxiety #blackmentalwellness #selfcompassion #mentalhealthadvocate #generationalhealing #soulresilience #losAngeles #counselor #lifecoach #selfawareness

👶🏽Early Experiences: Attachment styles develop in infancy and childhood through interactions with primary caregivers. The quality of care and responsiveness received during this critical period shapes our beliefs about ourselves and others. 🫂 Secure Attachment: Secure attachment forms when caregivers consistently provide love, comfort, and attuned responsiveness, creating a sense of safety and trust. 😫Anxious Attachment: Anxious attachment may develop when caregivers are inconsistently available or responsive. This can create a fear of abandonment and a constant need for reassurance. 😮‍💨Avoidant Attachment: Avoidant attachment often stems from caregivers who are emotionally distant, dismissive, or intrusive. This can lead to a fear of intimacy and a tendency to suppress emotions and needs. 🥴Disorganized Attachment: Disorganized attachment arises from caregivers who are abusive, neglectful, or exhibit erratic behavior. This can result in confusion, fear, and difficulty regulating emotions. ❤️‍🩹Impact on Relationships: Attachment styles and inner child wounds influence how we relate to others. They can manifest as patterns of clinginess, avoidance, fear of intimacy, or difficulty trusting and opening up.  ➡️‼️➡️‼️YOUR THOUGHTS???   #AttachmentStyles #InnerChildHealing #EmotionalFreedom #SelfEmpowerment #RelationshipsThatHeal #TransformationalJourney #melanatedtherapist #selflove #healing #Mentalhealthawareness

"Investing in your mental health is the ultimate act of self love" -Geanene Gordon #selflove #selfcare #affirmations #healthandwellness #mentalhealth #BlackTherapist #melanatedtherapist

❤️‍🩹When we have had past pain and disappointments, naturally we initiate protective mechanisms in hope of avoiding pain again. ❤️‍🩹The hard truth is, when we put that wall up in attempts of protection, what actually happens is we withhold our abilty to form deep and intimate connections with people. ❤️‍🩹What is essential is to explore these core wounds and understand the pain and work to heal the wound instead of bleeding on people who have NOT contributed to the pain. ❤️‍🩹This was something in my own shadow work that I had to make a hard realization of, however when doing the work it's very relieving. ❤️‍🩹Sometimes the pain we receive as well as the pain we inflict isnt intentional, rather the result of the wounded inner child. ❤️‍🩹Take accountability for your healing and you can change the course of your life. ❤️‍🩹You DESERVE grace! 💜💜➡️I want to hear your thoughts on this post.

1. Words of Affirmation: People with this love language value verbal expressions of love and appreciation. They feel most loved when they receive compliments, kind words, and encouragement.  2. Acts of Service: This love language centers around actions that demonstrate love and care. People who appreciate acts of service feel loved when others go out of their way to help them or take on tasks to make their lives easier.  3. Receiving Gifts: For individuals with this love language, receiving tangible symbols of love is vital. It's not about materialism but rather the thoughtfulness and effort behind the gift that makes them feel valued and loved.  4. Quality Time: This love language emphasizes undivided attention and meaningful connection. Those who prioritize quality time feel loved when they engage in activities together, have deep conversations, and create memorable experiences.  5. Physical Touch: This love language involves the power of physical contact to express love and affection. People with this love language feel most loved through hugs, kisses, holding hands, and other forms of touch.  ➡️If a person experienced a deficit in a particular love language during childhood, they may develop a heightened sensitivity or desire for that specific language as an adult. For example, if someone grew up in an environment where physical touch was lacking, they might prioritize physical touch as their primary love language in adulthood as they crave the affection they missed during their formative years. It's crucial to recognize that our love languages can evolve and change over time as we grow, heal, and form new experiences and connections. Understanding our love languages can help us navigate relationships and communicate our needs effectively. ⬇️⬇️Did this resonate with you?

🤎The way we feel about ourselves, the esteem, confidence and value come from those who are responsible in raising us.  What is poured into us as children is how we view ourselves and the narrative we take on.  IF by chance most of what is poured into us is negative, that manifests into the narrative we tell ourselves during the vital stages of our brain developing!  ❤️‍🩹If our parents are not aware and subconsciously wounded as well, there often won’t be any accountability or even awareness of how that pain was passed down generationally.  ✊🏽Therefore, YOU are the cycle breaker! You are the one to change the narrative and take your power back. 🏁Investing in your mental health is the ultimate act of self-love and the way you change your legacy ➡️What has been YOUR struggle with the image you see of yourself? #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #blackmentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #minoritymentalhealth #blacktherapist #selflove #therapy #blackmentalhealthmatters #mentalwellness #healing #wellness #innerchildhealing #innerchildwounds #therapist #meditation #selfvalidation #therapistsofinstagram #innerchildhealing #anxiety #blackmentalwellness #selfcompassion #mentalhealthadvocate #generationalhealing #soulresilience #losAngeles #counselor #lifecoach #selfawareness

🤌🏽Triggers often hurt more or resurface the residual pain because it is like someone “physically” hitting you in a sore spot.  Hitting you in a spot where you are already injured that has not quite healed yet!  🤌🏽Triggers are the residual emotions that are silently underneath the surface until they are summoned.  Summoned meaning someone may say something in a way you do not care for, a certain look or does something to you in a way that is received unpleasantly. 🤌🏽When we heal, we do not just heal the emotional component, but it is important to spend time with yourself and understand how you store past pain in your body.  Somatic exercises and mindfulness are great tools to release the physical components of trauma and pain and is also a vital part of the healing process. 🤌🏽What are some ways you have tapped into your healing journey with your mind, body and soul? #healthymindset #mindsetcoach #breakcycles #triggered #Innerchildhealing #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthquotes #lifecoach #selflove #blackmentalhealth #mentalhealthquotes #mindfullness #mindset #motivation #blacktherapist #mentalhealthcoach #soulresilience #melanatedtherapist #ranchocucamonga #selfcare #Emotions #Affirmations #inlandempire #California #healing

🏁The experiences and adversities endured during early life can shape one's behavior, emotional well-being, and overall functioning. Signs and symptoms that may indicate someone has experienced childhood trauma can vary widely depending on the individual and their unique circumstances. It's important to remember that not all individuals who have experienced trauma will exhibit the same signs, and some may not show any noticeable symptoms at all. However, here are some ways the pain from childhood can show up in adult hood 🚩Emotional dysregulation: Individuals may struggle with intense and unpredictable emotions, experiencing frequent mood swings, anger outbursts, or emotional numbness. 🚩Difficulty forming and maintaining relationships: An impact a person's ability to trust and connect with others. They may struggle with forming healthy attachments, have difficulties in establishing close relationships, or display avoidant behavior. 🚩Low self-esteem and self-worth: Feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or shame. They may have a negative self-image and struggle with self-acceptance. 🚩Hypervigilance and heightened anxiety: A heightened state of arousal. This can manifest as being constantly on edge, having difficulty relaxing, or experiencing frequent panic attacks. 🚩Self-destructive behaviors: Engaging in self-destructive behaviors such as substance abuse, self-harm, or risky sexual behaviors may be a coping mechanism for individuals trying to cope with their unresolved trauma. 🚩Dissociation: Dissociation is a defense mechanism where individuals mentally detach themselves from the present moment to cope with overwhelming emotions or memories. This can manifest as feeling disconnected from oneself or the surrounding environment. 🚩 ➡️What is something you arw struggling with right now?🚩 #childhoodtrauma #mindsetcoach #breakcycles #Generationalcycles #Generationalpain #Innerchildhealing #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthquotes #lifecoach #selflove #healingtrauma #innerchildhealing

❤️‍🩹Naturally when we are hurt we want those that contributed to the hurt to hear us! See us!

❤️‍🩹As a child, most time you are (or feel) powerless.  Not able to speak how you truly feel and being told “Do what I say?” or “Stop crying, I will give you something to cry about” can stifle a child and teach them their emotions are not valid. ❤️‍🩹In adulthood, those emotions resurface and shows up with impulsive anger, blaming others, getting back/punishing people (often for something they may have not even done).  You may find yourself incredibly defensive and making excuses for your anger as a defense and protective mechanism. ❤️‍🩹As a child, you may not have been able to say all you needed to say.  You may have all of that anger and resentment built up and it become a harmful and toxic communication style as an adult. ❤️‍🩹Or an alternative behavior, is you become a shutdown as an adult afraid to speak your feelings in fear of what will come afterwards.  This can lead to people pleasing, loose boundaries and emotional unavailability. ‼️The responsibility as adults is to now give that inner child his/her voice.  To learn how to acknowledge them and process that past pain in order to change the narrative for your current self and future ➡️When was the last time you were in touch with your younger self?

The part of you that hold your past pain, fears and drives your adult behaviors unknowingly. ❤️‍🩹 Childhood trauma can have a profound impact on an individual's attachment style, which is the way they we navigate intimacy and relationships. For example, if an individual grows up with a neglectful or abusive parent, they may develop an avoidant attachment style, where they have difficulty trusting and depending on others. 🤎 This can lead them to seek out partners who are emotionally unavailable or who reinforce their belief that they cannot rely on others. Similarly, if an individual grows up with a parent who is a narcissist, they may develop an anxious attachment style, where they have a strong need for validation and attention. This can lead them to be drawn to partners who are also narcissistic or who reinforce their belief that they are not worthy of love and attention. ‼️📢These patterns can be difficult to break, however it is important to acknowledge that inner child. It’s time to be seen. To be heard. To be validated. To feel safe. 🚨If you continue to dismiss that part of you, This can perpetuate a generational cycle of dysfunction and pain, where individuals unknowingly recreate the same patterns of attachment and trauma that they experienced in childhood. #generationaltrauma #healing #innerchild #innerchildhealing #mentalhealth #mentalwellness #blackmentalhealth #healingjourney #selfcare #selflove #selfhealing #traumahealing #mindfulness #meditation #therapy #counseling #mentalhealthawareness #emotionalwellness #soulresilience #melanatedtherapist #therapyforblackgirls
