Did you know that people who have experienced "abuse", even only witnessing it, tend to abuse, also? Often unconscious and self-protecting of any slight anticipation of their former ill-treatment, it is projected onto OTHER people who love/support them: verbally, physically or mentally? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In fact, one author calls it the "vengeful victim" when it's unconscious. The perception of love is distorted. The need for control is amplified and can mock "high performance" in other parts of their life. What we often don't see is the anxiety and panic held deep in cellular memory. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Co-Depency is also a safe-space for core relationships of this type. The participant gets a pay-off of being "needed". Both are toxic, ONLY until they consciously, consistently & courageously DETOX the Pain-Body! This "pain-body" desires love but fears it. Fear is false imagination appearing real. So, relapse is guaranteed because it's a process. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The addiction can be healed, ONLY when recovery becomes just as ACTIVE as one's daily routine! Most importantly, when the practice of interrupting the pain-body of The Addict & The Co-Dependent is NO LONGER optional, the RECOVERY is a new way of being, doing & having the love/loving that's available! This beloved soul needs to know they are loved, but not at the expense of everyone else who already does!~ 🦋 #ReBirthandEmergeTransformed 🦋 #FeelHealDeal ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆Break Your #GenerationalPatterns BY CHOICE, not force!
