Stormy Faye The Christian Runaway Reposted from @blackfemaletherapists We sometimes find later in life that things we experienced from our parents or parental patterns (i.e., rules and ways of being which we soaked up like a sponge in childhood) end up working against us as adults . . Here are a few examples: . • Please pleasing instead of honestly facing a conflict • Being so compulsively organized that spontaneity is sacrificed • Putting so much focus on logic that emotional connection is lost . . If you have ever said to yourself, “I will never say that to my children,” or, “I will never do that to my child”, you may have some patterns you want to break . . One way to make a change is modeling better behavior for your child(ren). If you’re unsure of what they might be, join a parent group or some individual therapy . . You can also purchase some books or worksheet to do some self-reflection to identify some areas of growth . . Even if you’re not a parent, there can still be toxic traits that you want to address like blaming, criticism, negativity, or even passive aggression . . Sometimes you might need help with identifying these traits. Talking to a therapist can help with this.
