The subconscious mind is always seeking the familiar. Our subconscious mind is imprinted from our earliest childhood relationships with parent-figures. They tea...ch us how we are to be treated. They teach us how to be within relationships through what we witness in the most impactful years of our development. While we are learning a new language + social norms, we are also learning relationship dynamics that we will go on to repeat as adults. This becomes our conditioning. Our conditioning is patterns of behavior we learned by observing. Children learn what they witness. Then repeat this as adults. There’s so much shame around relationship patterns. There are beliefs floating around the collective that people should just leave or know better without an understanding that for many people dysfunctional relationship dynamics feel like home. Why would a person leave home? How would someone know better, if they have not been shown better? Healing is coming to deeper levels of consciousness. Of the awareness that we repeat what we know + this is not a moral failing. It’s feedback from our pasts. It’s the result of the subconscious mind pulling us toward what it can predict. Through practicing conscious awareness we can make choices outside of our familiar in alignment with who we choose to be #selfhealers

Update from The College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I will be continuing to provide psychotherapy exclusively via telephone and video teleconference at this time.

Really good article looking at the effects of neutrality, invalidation and relational trauma.
