674K views · 8.5K reactions | Many of us grew up in homes where we heard things like “what’s wrong with you!” when we made simple mistakes. This (usually) wasn’t because we had parents who wanted to hurt us. It was because we had parents who couldn’t regulate their nervous system. So small mistakes and minor mishaps sent THEM into fight or flight— and we just happened to be there. Here’s the thing: we learn to react through the ways our parents TEACH us how to react. If we have parents who can regulate their nervous systems, they remain calm. They tell us we have to clean up. They emotionally bounce back quickly and we develop resilience. And when they don’t (all of us over-react at times) they apologize “I’m sorry I shouldn’t have spoken to you that way. I was struggling with my own emotions, and I’ll do better next time. I love you.” If you say to yourself “I’m an idiot!” Or “why did I do that, what is WRONG with me?!” The first step is to notice. Notice how you speak to yourself when you make simple mistakes. This isn’t YOU speaking— it’s someone else’s voice that you internalized. Next, you’re going to actively practice speaking to yourself in kind and rational ways. “It’s ok, you just spilled, you made a simple mistake.” Or “I’m a little bit late. This rarely happens, I will plan better next time; I trust myself. Everyone will understand.” How we speak to ourselves matters. Notice it. Speaking kindly to yourself will keep your nervous system regulated. It will heal the younger part of you who was on the end of another person’s dysregulation and didn’t deserve it #selfhealers | The Holistic Psychologist
