EP212 From the Vault: EP144 Healthier Communication Owning Your Truth

In this episode we pulled from the vault, I discuss the importance of healthy communication in relationships. I emphasize the need for clarity, directness, and emotional honesty to establish trust and safety. I then highlight the detrimental effects of emotional dishonesty, such as hiding feelings and desires, which can create distance and anxiety. Owning one's truth is crucial for building trust, both with others and oneself.

 In this episode we explore the reasons why people struggle to own their truth. I explain how societal pressures and early experiences of being discouraged from expressing thoughts and emotions can lead to disowning oneself. This disowning process can contribute to issues like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and unhealthy relationships. It becomes vital to reclaim ownership of various aspects, including thoughts, beliefs, passions, feelings, behaviors, grief, fears, struggles, dreams, and mistakes.

 However, I acknowledge that owning it can be challenging, especially when it involves conflicts, manipulation, or letting go of people and things that no longer align with one's true self. Despite the difficulties, I note the many benefits of owning one's truth. It fosters a sense of grounding, confidence, self-trust, and safety for both yourself and others.
