Post toxic connections: Swapping fear/anxiety for trust/confidence in your relationships & friendships

from Evolve with Ella · host Ella Pascoe

If you've had damaging friendships and relationships in the past, this episode will hopefully help you breakdown an element that can have a lot of influence on your conversations and situations with the people in your life that you really care about. Your anxieties about a current relationship can cause issues when you're thinking about negative past experiences and using your outdated toolkit (such as communication and coping mechanisms) that isn't actually needed in this present situation. It's important to start rewiring your brain to act with trust and feel safe, so you can fully appreciate the new, healthy connection you have, without bringing your past learned behaviours into it. Once you move away from fear and anxiety you'll change to a new energy of trust, confidence and love, that will generate more positive outcomes and stronger relationships, and attract situations that match the new energy vs the old. Your old toolkit was needed in the past to keep you safe and deal with the toxicity of the negative relationship, but we need to build a new one so that we can attract and keep healthy, positive connections. You're more than capable of rewiring your brain and any effort to change will have a positive impact!
