In today's episode we're talking about when others cause you harm. Understanding you can't control their behaviour but you can control how you react, ultimately showing up for YOU.
Everyone holds their own values and morals, and because of this there are times when we can become offended or hurt by another person’s actions or inactions. So, what do you do when that happens to you? When someone intentionally, or unintentionally, causes you physical or emotional harm. Our first instinct is what we usually catch ourselves naturally wanting to do in response to their behaviours. This includes seeking retaliation/revenge (wanting to hurt them back), publicizing it (voicing stance/opinion), internalizing it (it’s my fault) and blaming the other person (it’s their fault). What if someone doesn’t directly say something to offend you but you know their values and morals conflict with yours? How do you determine whether or not the "middle ground" can be reached without compromising what you believe in? It's also important to understand that feelings from past trauma can present themselves in these situations. Therefore, we need to make sure we are showing up for ourselves.
