When we’re empathic, compassionate, or devoted to someone, it’s easy to get bullied into:

Thinking that our healing should go faster.

After all, they’re really uncomfortable with our pain…

So they pressure and bully and demand that we trust them again.

But our bodies know.

And that’s a boundary.

When trust is broken, healing takes time.

There’s nothing wrong with you for being unable to trust someone who has betrayed you.

(In fact, it’s WISE not to trust someone who has demonstrated they can’t be trusted).

Do they wish that you still trusted them?

Sure, but your lack of trust is…the direct consequences of their hurtful actions.

Which means the onus is on them to behave in ways that create the *steady and consistent safety* needed to repair trust.

Pressuring you to “get over it” is the exact OPPOSITE of what you need to see and hear from them in order to heal.

That’s a boundary.

However, the depth of self-regulation extends far beyond the tranquil surface it might suggest. In this exploration, we delve into the profound layers of self-regulation, dismantling misconceptions and uncovering the true essence that lies beneath the still waters.

At its core, self-regulation is not merely about achieving a state of calm. It is a dynamic, sometimes complex, and multifaceted process that involves the unconscious and the conscious management of one’s thoughts, sensations, emotions, and behaviors. True self-regulation goes beyond the surface-level appearance of serenity; it encompasses the art of navigating the ebbs and flows of internal experiences with awareness, intention, and adaptability supported by flexibility within the autonomic nervous system.
