22.01.2022 Last week I released a YouTube video all about how you can build Self Trust. You can watch it here - https://tealswan.com/videos/emotions/trust/

21.01.2022 Spiritual awakening is going from an unconscious (autopilot) state of existing to a conscious state of living. My spiritual awakening began years ago when I sta...rted feeling desperately disconnected I’d been dissociating for years. I couldn’t feel. Suddenly I was facing myself. The parts of myself I didn’t want to see. The parts of my past I didn’t want to acknowledge + had repressed for decades. I talk about spiritual awakenings because so many of us have them. It’s lonely + isolating + confusing before it brings freedom, liberation, + clarity. A conscious life in a society built to keep us sleeping is not the easiest path. It’s the path of returning to who we actually are. What slide do you resonate with most? #selfhealers

20.01.2022 When people have expressed that they do not want your help, listen to them. You've already shown that when they are ready, they can come to you. We cannot save... people for themselves. Others have to want your help. Even when people are in situations where they are causing themselves harm, we cannot force them to change. We can love them. We can be there for them when they're ready. You cannot force people to be well, get help, or improve their lives. You can share what might be helpful. But making it your job to make them do things, is not healthy for you. We cannot change others. *Boundary: Allowing people to determine their lives for themselves. #nedranuggets #cyclebreakers

18.01.2022 Although I’ve been trained traditionally in psychology, my most recent qualifications and current practice are to view mental health from a much more sociological point of view; in that our psychological responses and behavioural impulses are more about responding to trauma and not having needs met rather than biological imbalances or pathology (without eliminating these as options). When approaching our mental health from a perspective of connectedness and community, the th...erapeutic pathway to healing naturally becomes about restoration of relationships and belonging. Mental health is therefore, is a manifestation of community health as opposed to individual dysfunction. #natural #therapy #therapist #counsellor #counselling #psychology #transpersonal #wholistic #healing #growth #insight #selfhealing #personcentred #arttherapy #ecotherapy #naturetherapy #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mindful #soul #spirit #self #jungian #phenononology #phenomonological #sociology #sociological #communityhealth See more

18.01.2022 We’re leaving this here for anyone who may be feeling overwhelmed in the hope that you have what you need but also in case you need reminding that we don’t need to be thriving right now.

18.01.2022 How true is this! Totally kicks our rigid, black and white thinking didn’t it!

17.01.2022 "Everyone experiences pain and most suffer from patterns that continue to make life miserable unless something or someone intervenes. The pain we feel comes fro...m the cross-wise energies that keep curving back and cancelling the wise self and the good word that wait to be expressed from within us. Persistent pain is usually the indication that we have become trapped in a life too small for our truenature. That is the usual human fate and the common predicament where the little-self obscures the greater nature behind it. Until people realize what harms them and limits them from within, they are unlikely to call out for someone to help stop the pain. The remedy may be nearby, but until the pain becomes unbearable most remain caught in the agony of one form or another of self-inflicted wounds. As Rumi said, 'The cure for the pain is in the pain.' - Michael Meade, "Fate and Destiny" See more

17.01.2022 How many of these do you tell yourself? If you’ve been in relationship with a narcissist or with someone who has narcissistic traits, you internalise the vocabulary of many aspects of the manipulation including gaslighting, perpetuating your own needs for co-dependency and further toxic relationships: including that with yourself!

16.01.2022 This is why even a little bit of therapy is good for everyone.

15.01.2022 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

13.01.2022 Setting boundaries is a form of self-care. In the words of Lydia Hall, Healthy boundaries are not walls. They are the gates and fences that allow you to enjoy the beauty of your own garden.

09.01.2022 Anyone else ever had problems setting boundaries? Maybe you had a narcissistic caregiver or have come out of a really bad relationship. Boundaries are limits to define where you and your resources end. They support your decision making, when to say yes and when to say no. It keeps your physical, spiritual and emotional tank from being overdrawn all the time. ... Remember, you cannot be any good to anyone if you can’t be a healthy somebody first! Recommended readings for this area? Pretty much anything from Dr Henry Cloud. Try it on audiobooks and listen rather than read!!

08.01.2022 One of the great thing about Nature Therapy is that it can be so simple! Immersing our bodies into the natural elements and releasing ourselves from civilised chaos to experience the world with our senses can be all it takes to bring more inner peace and stillness. Starts this Friday; more info on the website... https://www.naturefestival.org.au/

07.01.2022 Love this from holistic psychologist Authentic love is a practice. A journey. The more connected we are to self, the more we can allow space for another. The more we trust ourselves, the more we trust another. Authentic love takes work spiritual maturity + endless self compassion for the inner child who desperately seeks to be chosen #selfhealers

06.01.2022 May we see our mother as a human being with her own unresolved trauma and inner child pain. May we release her scarcity mentality by having the courage to be se...en and to create. May we free the pain of her criticism by speaking words of encouragement, empowerment, and embodiment to both ourselves and other woman. May we understand that when she engaged in relationships that harmed us, she was deeply struggling with her own self worth. May we see her opinions, as just that, not fact. May we know that she can only give us the grace she has given herself. May we grieve all she could not give us and accept our anger around it. May we witness her survival mode and shamelessly call in abundance, cooperation, and self trust. May we breathe as she triggers the inner child within us and honor any boundary we need to establish with her. May we have the self love to create those boundaries for ourselves and hold them even her response hurts. May we see that those who trigger us the most mirror her traits, and use this to guide us in our healing. May we gain more awareness that the voice in our head is primarily her voice, and that we are welcome to question it. May we know that as adults we always have an opportunity to mother ourselves. This is our liberation #selfhealers

01.01.2022 Can you recognise any of these traits in you? I believe there are certain common traits shared by virtually everyone who has been narcissistically abused. Once ...we understand these emotional susceptibilities, we can work at repairing them, and finally, change our relationship patterns beyond description. 1. You have already suffered abuse, you fear abuse or you have a strong aversion to abusers. When we still carry the pain of past abuse, we unconsciously seek out people who represent what is familiar to us. The abuse we previously suffered becomes the version of attachment that creates the most emotionally charged feelings for us and becomes part of our inner programming. 2. You find it difficult to speak up, stand up for yourself or create healthy boundaries. If you suffer from an inability to assert yourself because of your fears of criticism, rejection, abandonment or punishment (CRAP), this means you will hand your power away. Rather than confront, investigate and honour yourself when needed, you would rather go along with others despite how wrong this feels for you. 3. Your integrity level is high and you are dismayed if anyone questions it. When we believe our worth is dictated by what other people think of us, rather than what we think of ourselves, we are in for a very hard time. Life will feel precarious, especially if you are attached to a narcissist who accuses you of things you would never fathom thinking or doing, while you frantically try to force them to think differently about you so that you can feel okay again. 4. You work hard to sustain a sense of security, and you clean up the mess made by other people that could threaten your security. When you take financial responsibility for people who refuse to take responsibility for themselves, it is like watering their garden while your own is dying. You are being drained of your energy, sanity, and resources. The narcissist syphons out your resources while you are busy sorting out their mess. 5. You feel, deep down, that you can only be loved for your efforts and accomplishments. If you keep trying to prove your worth by taking on the burdens of others, being generous to a fault, giving till it hurts and doing all the things we do when we don’t believe we are loveable or worthy simply in and of ourselves narcissists will be magnetised to you. You are the perfect source of narcissistic supply. 6. You unconsciously feel others will only love you and care for you when you tend to their needs first. If you grew up in a household where you tried to placate or keep others sane so that they would have enough resources to love and care for you, you are likely to be attracted to unsafe people. Rather than identifying your own needs, asking for what you want and laying down boundaries that define how others treat you, you will have a high tolerance for unacceptable behaviour and a propensity to cater to it in order to stay safe. 7. You are very hard on yourself and are never happy with what you have achieved. You continually feel anxious about what you haven’t accomplished yet. It is a totally false premise that people will treat us how we treat them. The truth is that people treat us in ways that reflect how we treat and truly feel about ourselves. If you are your own terrible inner critic, then you will gravitate towards relationships with people who deem you as ‘never good enough’. 8. You have a tendency to want to fix and sort out other people’s problems rather than examine and sort out your own uncomfortable emotions. If we have never learned how to self-partner, self-soothe and heal our own emotional triggers, we will tend to look to the outside world for relief from our uncomfortable feelings. Yet if we try to control others in a bid to assuage our own out-of-control emotions, we will become more vulnerable to being controlled. 9. You see yourself as an empath and put other people’s needs before your own in the belief that this is virtuous. If we are an empath (i.e. we feel the energy of others intensely and we try to assist others as a way to feel better about ourselves), we may pride ourselves on how we show concern for other people’s needs and wishes, and cater to them. However, if we are not capable of defining our own needs and wants we will not receive back the care and love we crave. It can be such a revelation to understand how many of us to possess a lot, if not all, of these nine traits!
