5 Ways To Create Emotionally Healthy Relationships
@the.holistic.psychologist
Appreciation (for who they are, rather than what they do)
Sounds like:
“I love how passionate you are about things you are interested in”
“You always take a minute to appreciate the simple things, it’s special”
“You’re so kind to anyone you interact with, I love watching it”
Open Curiosity (curiosity around their emotional state, their internal world)
Sounds like:
“what’s on your mind or in your heart?”
“how are you feeling about all of this?”
“i’m here if you want to talk about anything or process it all.”
Simple Connection (intentionally making time to do things together)
Looks like:
playing music in the kitchen + making a meal together
going on a hike or sitting together in nature
trying a new restaurant together, taking a class, or doing something new for the both of you
Energy Awareness (awareness + consideration of their emotional state)
Sounds like:
“I’m going through something, do you have the space to listen?”
“are you looking for feedback or advice, or just a space to be heard?”
“i want to acknowledge i’m not really in the space to socialize recently, it’s nothing personal at all.”
Freedom To Be Self (allows for authentic expression)
Able to:
take time and space for self when needed
say no or have limits without fear
fully be yourself without hiding or denying parts of your reality
encouragement towards growth + mutual evolution

Where is the conversation around the emotional impact of 2020 isolation? Of losing relationships. With no time to grieve. Of rapidly adjusting to a new way of existing. I hope this post feels validating.
A very important and necessary conversation 🫂

Umm I’m in this photo and I don’t like it! I think I’m growing though because I’ve been expressing my true feelings to my friends and they have responded well. I’m slowly learning the vocab to talk about disagreements or what I’m feeling and I am proud of myself for the little steps I’m taking to set boundaries. I also know I am an Acts of Service person so I’d still go to the ends of the earth for my friends and family but I also have my limits and my body is lowkey forcing me to not thin myself out!

neurodivergence is a ‘superpower’ but only in the way that the x mens mutations are superpowers - everyone’s is very different, society tends to hate and fear you for them, in everyday life they’re usually extremely annoying or straight up harmful to yourself and others, with the privilege of support and guidance you can learn to harness them to achieve incredible things, if not you have to live underground in a secret community in the sewers,
