Early Deprivation: Does Someone Need To Face The Pain Of Being Unloved In Order To Heal?

If someone missed out on the love that they needed in order to grow and develop very early on, it doesn’t mean that they will be aware of this. Most of what took place during this stage of their life could be a mystery to them. However, even if this is the case, it doesn’t mean that this stage of their life will be well and truly behind them. Not only can they be in an underdeveloped state but they can continue to try to meet their unmet developmental needs. Submerged

Mother Wounds: Can A Man Feel Invisible If He Had A Neglectful Mother?

Although a man will have a physical body and, therefore, will be visible to others, it doesn’t mean that he will feel seen. In general, he could feel invisible and wonder if he even exists. As a result of this, he could often feel powerless and helpless and believe that he has very little if any control over his life. Ultimately, his life is not going to be very fulfilling as a lot of his needs are not going to be unmet. Progress

Child Abuse: What Beliefs Can Someone Have About Their Own Worth If They Were Abused As A Child?

One of the effects of early abuse and/or neglect is that one can have no sense of their own value as an adult. Deep down, they can feel as though they have absolutely no value whatsoever. As a result of this, it will probably be hard for them to feel comfortable in their own skin and they might not realise that they deserve to receive anything. Naturally, experiencing life in this way is not going to be very fulfilling. How Life Is

“This Was Someone Who Was In Touch With Their Emotions!”

Shortly after I got back from Mexico in 2014, I started spending more time with a friend who I had met a few years before. This was someone who I had met whilst I was at a social club. I remember seeing someone who was friendly and outgoing, and I felt the need to go and talk to them. At First, I thought that he was probably from Spain, but I soon found out that he was actually from Mexico. The Next Stage

Early Deprivation: Can Early Deprivation Give Someone The Need To Rescue Others?

If someone were to step back and reflect on their life, what they may see is that they spend a lot of time trying to fix other people’s problems. This can be how they are with their friends and their partner, that’s if they are in a relationship. Along with this, they could often be this way with people who they meet throughout their day. As a result of this, they could see that due to what they do for others, they don’t have much time or energy left for themselves. A Tiring Existence

Mother Wounds: Can A Man Be Disconnected From His Need For Human Connection If He Had A Neglectful Mother?

Unsurprisingly, human beings need human connection in order to be at their best. This is something that will have an effect on someone’s mental, emotional and physical health. The reason why it is not a surprise is that human beings are interdependent; they are not independent. This, however, can be hard for a lot of people to accept if they live in a society that creates the impression that people are their own island and don’t need anyone. Resistance

Child Abuse: Is It Normal For Someone To Idealise One Parent And To Demonise The Other?

If someone was abused and/or neglected during their early years, it doesn’t mean that they will be aware of this. Due to how much time has passed and the defences that they have in place, they might not be able to remember what took place at this stage of their life. Then again, they might only be able to remember certain things, and the things that they do remember could relate to the good things that took place. Either way, one is not going to have a clear idea about what took place at this stage of their life. Breaking Through

Emotionally Disconnected: Can Childhood Trauma Cause Someone To Disconnect From Their Emotional Self?

In the same way that different tools serve a different function, different parts of someone's being are the same. When it comes to their physical body, this part will give them the ability to move and to get things done. Their emotional body/self will be what brings their life to life and allows them to feel connected to others and life itself. As for their mental body/self, this will allow them to think about life, reflect and make plans. A Key Role

Delayed Grief: What Is Delayed Grief?

In the same way that it is not always possible for someone to eat when they are hungry, it is also not always possible for them to embrace how they feel after a loved one passes on. But, while they will most likely be able to ignore their hunger from time to time without it having much of an impact on their life, the same can’t be said for ignoring how they feel after a loss. If someone ignores their hunger pangs, it will probably only be a matter of time before they reappear and are fulfilled. One will then have ignored them at one point in time, but they won’t ignore them at another.

Masculinity: Does A Man Need To Heal His Father Wounds If He Is Out Of Touch With His Masculinity?

What a man may find, that’s if he was to take a step back and to reflect on his life, is that it is a challenge for him to assert himself. As a result of this, it can be normal for other people to walk over him. It is then not that other people will physically walk over him; it is that they will walk all over his reality. Being treated in this way is likely to make it hard for him to feel good about himself. A Follower

Inner Child: Your Inner Child Can Heal You

One of the ways that someone can change their behaviour, what is taking place within them, and their relationships, is to heal their inner child. Or to be more precise; to heal the inner children that are within them. What this comes down to is that although many, many years may have passed since they were a child, it doesn’t mean that what happened all those years ago is actually in the past. There is the chance that a lot of the painful feelings that they experienced throughout their childhood years are still within them. Inner Experience

While one can be in a position where they take care themselves, they can also end up doing the complete opposite. When this happens, one is not going to treat themselves with respect, and they could even go out of their way to harm themselves. If someone was to take the time to observe their behaviour, they might wonder what is going on. It could be hard for them to understand why they would treat themselves in this way. The Only Person

Anxiety: Can Unmet Developmental Needs Play A Part In Why Someone Feels Anxious?

There are those who experience anxiety from time to time and those who more or less always feel anxious. When someone can relate to the latter, they might want to lose the ability to be anxious. This may show that they have experienced life in this for a few months or a number of years. But, regardless of how long their life has been this way for, they will be desperate for their life to change. Too Much To Handle

Mother Wounds: Can A Man Expect To Be Treated Badly By Women If He Had A Cruel Mother?

Over the years, a man may have had a number of experiences with women that were anything but pleasant. This can mean that he has been in a number of relationships that greatly undermined him. Additionally, there can be all the interactions that he has had, both at work and in his everyday life, that have been just as bad. Due to this, he might no longer want to be in a relationship and, in general, he might prefer to keep his distance from women. A Closer Look

Critical Thinking: Do We Stop Thinking When Information Is Presented By An Authority Figure?

When one wants to find out about something there is a strong chance that they will look for someone who has an understanding of what they want of know. They could believe that the most important thing is to find someone who has the right qualifications. And once this has taken place, they will be able to listen to what they have to say. It is then as if one needs to tick off a box, and once this box has been ticked, they will be able to open their mind. Closed

After having been with a man who is overly focused on his mother for however long, a woman could have spent a fair amount of time trying to understand why he is the way that he is. This could be something that has been going on for a number of weeks, months or even years. Throughout this time, she might have read a number of articles and books and watched numerous videos. Thanks to what she has learnt along the way, she could have a good understanding of why he is this way. Another Part

Shut Down: Can Developmental Trauma Cause Someone To Be In A Shut Down State?

In order to truly embrace life, someone will need to have a strong connection with their body and be able to feel. By having this connection and this ability, they will be able to take life in and receive. However, although being this way will be essential when it comes to living a fulfilling life, it doesn’t mean that everyone is an embodied human being, who can truly feel. There are those who have strong a connection to themselves, those who don’t and those who are in the middle. It’s clear

Forgiveness Is Important!

The other day I was talking to someone who spoke about what a friend of theirs had done in the past and it was clear that they hadn’t been able to move on from what had happened. A number of years had passed since that time, but it was as if it had happened the day before. Hearing about this reminded me of the challenges I have had with my mother, and how hard it has been for me to gradually move on from what took place during my early years. It was irrelevant as to how many years had passed since that time, as I wasn’t able to simple let go and to live in the now. Trapped

Father Wounds: Can A Man Unconsciously Search For A Father Figure If His Father Was Emotionally Unavailable?

Through getting to the stage of his life where he is now a man, it could be said that he won’t need all of the same things that he needed as a child. To put it another way, he will have grown out of certain needs that he had. To focus solely on the needs that he would have primarily had in relation to his father, he will no longer need him to affirm his worth, to support or to protect him. This is not to say that he will no longer need to be affirmed or supported, or even to be protected at times, but that it will be different now he is an adult. Internalisation

People Pleasing: Why Do Some People Only Feel Safe When They Are Pleasing Others?

When it comes to behaviours that will have a negative impact on one’s life, trying to please others is high on the list. And this doesn’t relate to pleasing others on the odd occasion, it relates to trying to please others all of the time. To set out to please people every now and then is unlikely to cause too many problems for someone. But if this was something they did all of the time, it is going to have a missive impact on their life.

Critical Thinking: Has Trauma Had An Effect On How The Physical Body Is Viewed In Today’s World?

Although a lot has changed over the years, it is not uncommon for the physical body to be seen as nothing more than a lump of meat. It is then an area that is not affected by what is taking place in someone’s internal world (their thoughts, emotions, feelings or beliefs) or what is taking place in their outer world. Still, this doesn’t mean that stress is not widely seen as something that has a destructive effect on both the mind and body. Even so, it is often something that ends up being put to one side and not given the attention that it deserves. No Reason

Father Wounds: Can A Man Feel Worthless If He Had An Abusive Father?

If a man was to step back and reflect on his life, he may find that he often feels worthless and as though he is bad. Due to this, he may find that it is a challenge for him to embrace good things as he won’t feel worthy of them. As a result of this, he may see that he has pushed a lot of good out of his life over the years. But, in general, he is likely to stop good things from even entering his life, which will mean that he won’t need to push most things away as most things won’t get this far. A Big Surprise

This can be something one receives from their partner or lover, and it can also come from friends and family.

Other parts of her being are then not even going to enter his mind, let alone be something that he chooses to ignore.

Patterns: Do Patterns Run Our Life?

When we look at our lives or at the lives of others, we can see life through one of two ways, or as a combination of the two. On one side we can see that there are patterns to how we behave, think and feel and in how other people behave. And on the other side, we could also view our internal processes and exte al behaviour and the behaviour of others as random. Habits This could also be described as a habit; with this being a word that is probably more familiar than the word pattern. Habits are part of being human and this means that they are not negative or positive per se.
