We hope you enjoy this weeks episode of Therapy Unfiltered where we dive into all about creating a safe container for open communication in all relationships.What’s New: Petey -Join the Soul Learners Waitlist...membership opening the end of this month.Sarah -  Yoga Under the Stars this Friday, come one come all  - Friday, June 18 at 7:30pmQuirky Insight: Petey- Paula, Sally, Julie and Alice are 30-50 yr. Relationships that have been safe containers for me in this life. I can not talk with them for even 2 or 3 yrs because of life happening and we pick up right where we left off. There’s no judgement, no critique….only unconditional love and respect and empathy. Everyone is coming from good intentions and it is received that way. There’s no hidden agendas or dysfunctional lens...just true love and respect.Sarah - my relationship with my dad felt unsafe - he was an alcoholic, disconnected and a logical communicator. Always ready to argue and dismiss my feelings. So I learned to hold back and push down uncomfortable emotions when I was with him. Over the years, I have learned more about setting boundaries and creating a safe environment for not just others but for me. I say things more clearly and I use I language more than you. Why isn’t it safe to share?People are defensive - Fear of judgement - they are too fragile and vulnerable, fear of critique can take someone down to depression or fill them with anxiety and they have inability to function with the overwhelm.Low self-esteem / preconceived thought that they are less than and not good enough-feel if they’re on the defense then they’re not opening themself up to hurt as much. Person gossips and is not a vault, Why gossip? Distracts from self, sensationalized so they sound better, learned from patterns growing up.But it establishes trust issues / violation or betrayal. Here are 9 ways To Create a Safe Container for Open Communication in Relationships1.
