The One Toxic Person You May Need To Let Go Of

Описание: Each one of us was once a child.

We were all once children who longed to be seen and validated for who it is we authentically were.

It’s a tragic truth that few of us had this longing met. In fact, most of us had the opposite experience where we felt as if our authentic self just could never be honored or celebrated.

We stay stuck in an inauthentic pattern with our parents in our desire to be truly seen by them. Our fantasy that they will see us keeps us stuck in toxic patterns with them.

Over and over, we thirst for our parents approval and acceptance. We twist and turn. We contort and pretzel ourselves. All the while growing older and never truly being free.

And then one day we might wake up and realize: maybe I need to let my parents go.

It’s at this point that we truly begin to grow up and instead of seeking acceptance and worth from them, we now begin to feed this to ourselves.

Sometimes we need to release our fantasies of the ideal parent and begin to parent ourselves instead.
