Textauszug

Chapter of Love

Quote: “I love myself enough to show you that how I define love is essential to our relationship.”

Analogy: Weather is unpredictable. Things must be just right for it to snow, and when it is not, it will not happen. When we observe coldness in the air combined with enough moisture, we eventually experience snow falling. The action of Mother Nature makes it possible for us to experience snow. Regardless of what someone says, we must wait for the action of Mother Nature to make snowfall. This is the same for love; someone can say something that equates to love, but until we observe the individual’s actions, we cannot experience love.

Pre-assessment for Love

Read and answer these questions. Pause and reflect on your answers before reading the next section. We all must assess where we are to determine what is necessary to get where we want to be.

• How do you define love?
• What is a specific and recent example of showing love to yourself based on how you define love?
• How often do you demonstrate your definition of love to yourself?
• Write down at least five people who love you based on how you define love with a specific and recent example?
• How often do they demonstrate your definition of love to you?
• How do you show love to other people?
• What are actions and words that, when used, make you feel that someone does not love you?
• How and when do you tell people how to love you or that you do not feel love from them?

Self-Love and Trauma

Philautia, or self-love, is the type of love that everyone needs to demonstrate. Self-love is healthy and a necessity for you to operate as the best version of yourself. This is the type of love that helps to create accountability of self to do what is right. Self-love is a boundary for yourself to ensure that you are taken care of before meeting others’ needs. Self-love fulfills you in a way that nothing external to you can. It gives you the nourishment that nothing external to you can give you. Self-love radiates from the inside out. Self-love radiates outward in a way that forces people to recognize they are interacting with someone who not only has a standard but holds people to that standard of love. Self-love is not sacrificing a relationship with others. It is the sacrifice of feeling obligated to take care of everyone else before yourself. Self-love will allow you to walk into an environment that suggests you shouldn’t be loved and feel unfazed. Self-love is what gives you the confidence and ability to walk away from situations that are not good for your well-being. Self-love will have you ignore phone calls that have nothing but negativity on the other end. Self-love will rock the boat with some people in your life that do not practice self-love or have good intentions for you. Self-love will be the disruptor it needs to be to ensure you have everything you need to be everything for your well-being.

The thing about self-love is that you define it! It is not what people give you permission to define as based on what is advantageous to them. This does not mean that you have permission to be abrasive, rude, or unbearably candid. This means that you can use phrases like: “At this time my focus is different which is why I have to respectfully decline,” “I love this and feel it can do great things; based on where I am, I do not feel it is best for me to be included, thank you for considering me,” “I want to take care of myself tonight; you go ahead,” “No, thank you,” “No,” and my favorite, look at the phone and don’t respond. This goes back to knowing the importance of how to communicate. This type of transparency in communication about where you are in life is needed when you are on the path of defining self-love. It’s okay to be transparent as you are as authentic at that moment as you can be. Being authentic with who you are creates a secure person.

How does one get to the place of being secure with themselves? For me, forgiving myself was the first part of that process, and the second part was owning what I did confidently. That within itself is so difficult because it requires that you acknowledge that you have made some good, bad, and ugly decisions. You are not perfect, nor do you fit the mold of what others want for you or, in some cases, you want for yourself. Forgive and move forward. Not only does it require that, but it demands that we take ownership of and hold ourselves accountable for the impacts of our decisions, good, bad, and ugly. This task was not easy at all. In fact, it took me speaking with a mental health professional for me to truly walk through this process of addressing the chaos of life and the trauma within it. Chaos is the uncontrollable and unexplainable nature of all the life experiences we endure and the process unfolding. Life experiences involve trauma; this is all a necessary “evil.” I dealt with things that I had internalized for years. All of that stuff that I had not dealt with was rotting inside of me and occupying space. Not dealing with things head-on led to poor behaviors or decisions; I was in survival mode. I needed to free myself of the negativity that I held onto so that love of self and my purpose could occupy that space. In working with a mental health professional, I had a safe space to acknowledge, process, take ownership of, forgive, and make peace with my decisions, good, bad, and ugly. Going through this process freed me and better equipped me to appropriately handle life.

Life is full of songs; our mental health is how we dance to these songs. It’s how we hold our arms, the way we move our feet, the clapping of our hands, and the sounds that we make; a very intricate dance. As life changes songs sometimes, we get off beat and need help getting on beat. It’s not always our fault that we get off-beat; sometimes, someone else dancing to the songs of life knocks us out of rhythm. The goal is to accept that we are off rhythm and use a mental health professional’s help to find our rhythm. They teach us how to transition effortlessly as the songs of life change after dealing with what knocked us out of rhythm.

Knowing what I know now, if I had to go through the process of selecting a mental health professional, I would be very strategic. I would want to understand the minimum requirements for someone to be in practice based on my location, validate their credentials by looking at their licensure, look at the reputation of the institutions they may have gone to, look at reviews that maybe publicly available, look for specialties that they may have, and most importantly look for common life experiences. I would also ask if they offer a free consultation over the phone or in person to assess if I feel they would be a right fit for me. It is also okay to go to someone who may not share common life experiences because they will see things that you and those around you may not see. The point of this is to do “homework” to increase your probability of having effective conversations with the individual you select. If you feel that the person does not have your best interest, it is okay to communicate that you would like to seek a different perspective. Be mindful not to use this as an excuse to not face the truth; you know the difference.

For me, working with a mental health professional felt like a tremendous weight had been lifted off of me and an opaque veil was being lifted from over my eyes. I now understood how the smallest thing can significantly impact us, causing us to develop mechanisms to prevent us from experiencing the emotion we felt. Triggers can be unintentional, and typically, we do not recognize them until they are pointed out. I know now that my trauma was impacting my decision-making and my interactions with people. These decisions had a severe impact beyond what I could see because I was going through life in survival mode; I was randomly pulling and releasing pinball machine levers. I cannot stress enough the importance of working through your trauma in a way that fits you. Remember that this is a process that does not happen overnight but is well worth the outcome.

Our body is designed to ensure that we survive, and it will do whatever is necessary to ensure this happens. The body and mind are two separate things that are intertwined so tightly that one impacts the other. When a life experience or trauma happens to us that we perceive as negative, we put on layers or mask to better fit the circumstance. When the circumstance comes again, the layer or mask helps us cope. This is our body and mind’s way of protecting us so that we can survive. The more this happens, the more work we must do to get back to who we really are, our true self. The greater the journey back to self, the more rewarding it will be. Working with a mental health professional and meditation helped me look at every mask and the layers that I put on. I was trying to be what those around me wanted me to be and avoid the feeling of discomfort. One of my favorite songs to listen to is “Just Let It Go” by India Arie. In addition to this, I was trying to be my own individual and figure it out. How do you balance the two as a child and young adult? This goes back to the importance of communication and how you say things. For parents, do your best to take the time to explain the why behind circumstances to help add context. When variants of that circumstance happen, we are better equipped to handle it because we understand the why.

As a parent, I want to...
