Have you disowned parts of yourself ?

When we disown parts of ourselves, someone else or something else may come along and own us.

They may not be good residents!

We may find ourselves in a repetitive pattern where we feel dominated and overpowered by other people or our own negative thoughts.

This can happen to men and women alike!

Some unhelpful defence mechanisms may develop:

👉🏼 feelings of numbness and disconnection from others

👉🏼 fear of sharing our feelings

👉🏼 increased disengagement and loneliness

👉🏼 feelings of helplessness/confusion/indecision as we don’t know what we want

👉🏼 procrastination

👉🏼 unrelenting self-criticism and dissatisfaction with one’s life

👉🏼 believing that something is wrong with you/you are wrong

👉🏼 resentful compliance with others

Here are some of the ways therapy can help:

🌈 develop a better understanding of your individuality

🌈 learn self care and self compassion

🌈 ownership of what one values and believes in

🌈 work through and correct unhelpful internal belief systems

🌈 self empowerment, responsibility and respectful self advocacy

🌈 draw healthy boundaries for oneself and others

🌈 be more present in life and relationships

Let’s clean up the weeds and build a beautiful home in our hearts for ourselves and others.
