Talk The Walk with Dr. Filipe Rocha

How To Improve Your Relationship With Yourself

Listen Later

The very concept of having a relationship with yourself creates a negative relationship with yourself. In this episode, I reveal why the idea of a "relationship with yourself" only exists because of trauma, and how true self-love means dissolving this concept entirely and returning to wholeness.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Why babies don't have a "relationship with themselves"—they just ARE
  • How the concept of a relationship with yourself is created by trauma
  • Why your inner critic exists and what it's really trying to do
  • The difference between self-love and self-esteem (and why self-esteem keeps you stuck)
  • How loving the inner critic transforms it
  • Why being hard on yourself blocks improvement instead of creating it
  • The paradox: improving your relationship with yourself means dissolving the concept

    • Actionable Takeaways:

    1. Recognize that needing to "improve" your relationship with yourself is already a sign of trauma
    2. Validate the parts of you that learned they were unlovable
    3. Love your inner critic first—it's trying to protect you from rejection

      4. What parts of yourself have you been rejecting? Share in our community.

      If this shifted how you see self-love, share it with someone stuck in self-criticism.

      And remember: may you be happy and do good, and may you be happy doing good.
