Easily Triggered?

The trigger of not being heard or understood is a common feeling that insights instant fear in people. It often sends us into fight or flight mode— With thoughts that circulate

Why are they doubting me?

Why don’t they respect me?

Don’t they see how hard I am trying?

Once stuck in this loop, it is often easy to find proof all around you of doubt.

When looking closer at this, I was able to ask myself, “What part of me is really having a hard time with this?”

I ask my clients the same thing.

When I look closely and really tap in, it is the little girl inside of me. The little girl that wants everyone to love her. The little girl with good intentions who wants everyone to know it.

And when I step back, I can have compassion for that little girl who is having a huge fit when someone doubts her or thinks her intentions are bad. I can love her and remind her of her worth.

Separate the little girl that needs everyone’s approval to my independent adult self who knows whenever you are creating big waves or doing big work in the world, there will be naysayers and doubters.

And then…BIG BREATH…

I can move on.

Truly RTT has changed my life.
