We are back with another episode with Len Sturdivant. In this week’s Mind ReMapping Moment, we are going to discuss honoring each other’s grief processes. In this episode, we are going to talk about the painful shock caused by the recent death of tWitch and how we can learn from his life.
- What is impression management? Does it cause us harm or good?
- For celebrities, it is challenging for us to know their persona because of the image that they have to portray.
- We can only suppress our suffering for a short while and then it gets too big and explodes.
These and a whole lot more await you in this week’s special episode with Len Sturdivant, a love and relationship coach who offers individual, group, couples, and even online consultations. In this episode, he is going to teach us that to love others, we should first truly love ourselves. Today, we will learn about trauma, forgiveness, and healing.
How does the world make it feel unsafe for us to show our emotions?
Sometimes, we become a “supposed to” in someone else’s world and that weighs heavily and makes it feel unsafe for us to be able to express ourselves. Sometimes, we don’t leave room for contradiction. We don’t allow for two things to be true (i.e. you can be the life of the party but also show your struggles.
Check-in with people who you think are the bravest
Here’s one important thing we should be doing, if we haven’t already: check in with people that you would never expect. Those you would never expect will have an emotional breakdown. Those you think are the strong, that they got it together. They are the ones who look like they got it all together but those are the ones that need checking in.
Finding your “safe people” you can call to talk to when you’re in a dark place
It is important that we have people we can call when we are in the low points of our lives. It does not have to be many, two and three people is perfectly fine. These safe people are those we know we can rely on so when we are in our dark place, we can pick up the phone and talk to them and they know exactly how to interact with us to help maintain that safety and help us move through that dark space and put us back to our safe place. Find them before you’re on the edge.
