Ever feel confused, flustered, and then suddenly anxious after someone is nice, kind or caring towards you?
Do you feel the tension of negative anticipation building, like waiting for the "other shoe to drop"?
This reaction tells the story of how unreliable and unstable kindness has been for you in the past. It boldly shares the experience of kindness being followed up with some kind of cost or harm.
You see, your body is picking up on familiar signals that existed prior to a threatening or paniful event, and it is assuming those signals are reliable precursors to predicting future threats.
This is what creates the triggers we have, and why they may not make any sense at all in different situations.
That confusion and anxiety that shows up is the body telling you it doesn't know if it is safe or not, or if it can trust that person and the kindness to be real and consistent.
Learn how to soothe this anxiety, empower your understanding of what is real, and engage with that person and your life proactively so you create more peace, freedom, and belonging in your life in today's episode!
