Episode 7: The realization that changed my life
from Next Level Responsibility Podcast Hosted by Gorica
When we were little and dependent on our parents, whether we would have our needs met (I'm referring to our emotional needs here), depended on someone else. And that is how we adopted this perspective that what we need, we can source if from outside of ourselves - a person who is willing to give it to us - whether it's love, attention, appreciation, admiration - whatever it might be. And at first it was our parents, then our peer group and in the end our romantic partners. So we bought into the illusion that someone outside of ourselves can make us whole and complete. Based on their approval or disapproval we determine our value or our worth. Based on their love we determine how lovable we are. I used to live by that paradigm as well as many of you probably do. I used to be terrified of being alone and used my social and romantic relationships to give me reassurance, love, approval and fill in the void that I was feeling inside. What if you could become your own source of power, of love, of confidence, of reassurance? And you didn't need it from anyone outside of you? Enjoy the episode & please share it with anyone who you might think needs to hear this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart <3
