Currently Playing: Why You're Drawn to What Hurts You - Heal To Awaken

This video understands your specific pain and has a map out! Do you find yourself drawn to relationships or behaviors you know are harmful? Does genuine care feel uncomfortable, while chaos feels like home? If the phrase "abuse feels like love, and love feels like abuse" resonates with you, this video is a crucial exploration of why. This isn't about blame or shame but about understanding the subconscious, pre-verbal coding installed in our nervous systems during childhood. As Gabor Maté says, "Trauma is not what happened to you; it's what happened inside of you." We discuss: Why 95% of your motivations and beliefs operate subconsciously, visible in your body's posture, tension, and micro-expressions. How childhood deductions ("This treatment is how I get connection") create a bodily blueprint that mistakes abuse for safety and love for danger. The painful cycle of self-sabotage: seeking out destructive patterns to achieve a familiar, though toxic, "equilibrium." How the mind, not being omniscient, projects past trauma onto the present, triggering spirals of fear and contraction. A compassionate guide to beginning to break this cycle: how to stay with the bodily feeling (like unsafety) without believing its catastrophic predictions, and breathe through the storm of thoughts. This is part of the deeper healing work necessary for true awakening. If intellectual understanding hasn't freed you from these patterns, it's because they live in the felt experience of the body, and that's where we must meet them. You are not flawed. You are not alone. This is a map to understanding the code your body is running, so you can finally rewrite it!

On this channel you will find all the videos that I use for the same purpose. You can even become a member and support my work. If you want to book 1:1 sessions with Todd go to his calendar here https://calendly.com/unfetteredmindfulness/one-to-one-guiding-session And follow Todd to his channel @unfetteredmindfulness where you find all the inquiries to go along with your awakening process. I look forward to this. We are creating content that helps you de-identify, see through Self and gain insights as a path to Awakening. The videos help you to see through the illusion of a separate self and into your Being. We encourage you to explore the topic of unconditional acceptance to every thought coming up in order to help you understand that the "I" you think is you, is just a thought. It's just a fantasy! In reality everything is different. So you are not changing who you are at all, you just end who you are not! We wish you and yours all the best. DISCLAIMER Before doing any of our meditations, inquiries or lessons, we ask that you make sure you are psychologically stable and healthy enough to do so safely. Some of the experiences and insights that come from this kind of practice can be disorientating, destabilising, and distressing to certain people. So please use your discretion and participate accordingly. If you do feel unsafe in some way, please seek professional mental health care, and/or trauma therapy if needed. ------------ trauma bonding, complex ptsd, emotional abuse, subconscious patterns, healing trauma, nervous system healing, awakening spirituality, embodiment, Gabór Maté, The Body Keeps the Score, self-sabotage, toxic relationships
