Therapeutic Healing

Therapeutic HEALING through shadow prompts/journaling.

What patterns do I notice repeating in my relationships.

.Are you often the giver, fixer, the one who pulls away, or the one who holds on too tight?

.Do your relationships start fast and burn out, or linger even after the become unhealthy?

Reflection tip: Look for cycles. Ask: Where have I seen this before?

Do I tend to attract a certain “type” of person? What do they reveal about me?

.Are you drawn to emotionally unavailable people?

.Do you attract people who need “saving”

.Are you constantly in relationships where you don’t feel like your enough?

Shadow Prompt:  What parts of me are mirrored in the people I attract?

When do I feel unsafe in relationships? What behaviors trigger that feeling?

.Do you feel unsafe when people get too close, or when they pull away?

.Is your nervous system on alert around conflict, silence, neediness, or emotional withdrawal?

Reflection tip: Describe one moment where you felt unsafe emotionally. What did it remind you of?

How have I contributed to the ending of past relationships?

.Did you withdrawal emotionally, become reactive, ignore your needs, or ignore red flags?

.Be honest, not self-blaming. Awareness allows healing.

Shadow Prompt: What did I avoid facing in those connections?

What do I fear most in relationships?

.Where does this fear originate?

.How does this fear shape your behavior? (controlling, clingy, avoidant)

Integration tip: Write a letter to the fear, letting it speak- then respond with compassion.

Do I expect people to read my mind or my needs? Why?

.When you feel hurt or overlooked, did you express yourself or wait silently?

.Do you feel safe asking for what you need, or do you wait until your resentful?

Reflection tip: How were your needs received growing up?

Never settle always strive, and even in the moments you can't hold on just breath a second at a time. You will come out of this <3 Spirited Lumos
