221 Navigating Relationship Bumps: Whose Stuff is This?

Navigating Relationship Bumps: Whose Stuff is This?   Once again, I had a bump in a relationship, and I got to see that I had a part in it. Our fear of rejection, abandonment, or someone getting angry with us, can prevent us from having difficult conversations. We minimize our feelings for fear of being too sensitive. When we do this work enough, eventually, remaining silent, no longer works. I got pretty dysregulated, but I was able to manage. It was more important to share my feelings than worrying about managing the other person’s feelings.   HIGHLIGHTS   What you will learn from this podcast: ·         Strategies for managing stress during the holiday season ·         How to navigate relationship bumps and take responsibility for our own feelings ·         The concept of "gremlins" and how they can hold us back in life ·         How to identify and recognize when our gremlins are present ·         The importance of practicing self-compassion and reframing negative thoughts ·         How to manage fear of rejection and being "too much" ·         The difference between our expectations and reality ·         How to find balance and fulfillment in life ·         The benefits of setting boundaries in relationships ·         How to communicate effectively in relationships ·         The importance of self-care and self-love ·         How to deal with feelings of overwhelm and burnout ·         The role of perfectionism in our lives and how to overcome it ·         How to cultivate gratitude and noticing what is going right ·         The power of vulnerability and authenticity in relationships ·         How to set goals and work towards them ·         The benefits of mindfulness and meditation ·         How to develop a growth mindset ·         The importance of self-reflection and self-awareness ·         How to cultivate resilience and bounce back from setbacks   What are Gremlins and how to work with them:   "Gremlins" refer to the negative self-talk and limiting beliefs that can hold us back in life. Acknowledging your gremlins can make them feel more manageable. Identifying them and recognizing them when they are present can also help. Practicing self-compassion and reframing negative thoughts into more neutral thoughts can help. PODCAST HOST Patricia was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, but is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it’s like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD (autistic and ADHD), with a PDA profile, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren’t alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for HSPs that focus on understanding what it means to be an HSP, self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you LINKS   HSP Online Course--https://unapologeticallysensitive.com/hsp-online-groups/   Online HSP Course Materials (no group included) https://patriciayounglcsw.com/product-category/hsp-classes/ Receive the top 10 most downloaded episodes of the podcast-- https://www.subscribepage.com/e6z6e6   Sign up for the Newsletter-- https://www.subscribepage.com/y0l7d4   To write a review in itunes: click on this link https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-sensitive/id1440433481?mt=2 select “listen on Apple Podcasts” chose “open in itunes” choose “ratings and reviews” click to rate the number of starts click “write a review”   Website--www.unapologeticallysensitive.com Facebook-- https://www.facebook.com/Unapologetically-Sensitive-2296688923985657/ Closed/Private Facebook group Unapologetically Sensitive-- https://www.facebook.com/groups/2099705880047619/ Instagram-- https://www.instagram.com/unapologeticallysensitive/ Youtube-- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOE6fodj7RBdO3Iw0NrAllg/videos?view_as=subscriber Tik Tok--https://www.tiktok.com/@unapologeticallysensitiv e-mail-- unapologeticallysensitive@gmail.com Show hashtag--#unapologeticallysensitive Music-- Gravel Dance by Andy Robinson www.andyrobinson.com
