Trusting Yourself Through Challenges and Dysregulation
Trusting yourself doesn't mean being perfectly regulated at all times. It's normal to face dysregulation and difficult decisions. The key is to be aware of your dysregulation and validate the sensations and emotions you're experiencing. This awareness is an act of self-trust. Gradually, you can move towards trusting what you need and taking action. Self-trust comes from making minor shifts and facing your fears, resulting in feeling calm and empowered after taking action.
Facing Failure and Running Towards Goals
Shift your mindset from running away from failure to running towards your goals. Embrace the idea of being okay with failing and make a plan for the worst-case scenario. By facing failure and embracing it, you can experience growth, learn new skills, and move closer to your goals. This shift in perspective is essential for building self-trust.
Recognizing Dysregulation and Taking Small Steps
Self-trust involves recognizing moments of dysregulation and validating your sensations and emotions. Begin with small steps like asking yourself what you need and setting boundaries. Taking action even when dysregulated, making slight improvements, and facing fears gradually enhance self-trust.
Acknowledging Support and Embracing Challenges
Even in moments of dysregulation, remember you are not alone. Acknowledge the support around you and trust that you can navigate challenges. Embrace moments of fear and take steps towards your goals, knowing that growth and empowerment often follow action. Self-trust is built through facing fears, taking risks, and moving forward despite uncertainties.
Validation and Self-Trust in Relationships
Validating your feelings and trusting your emotions is crucial in fostering self-trust, especially in relationships. By acknowledging your experiences and validating your emotions, you build a foundation for self-assurance. Gradually taking small steps towards self-validation allows for incremental growth without overwhelming your nervous system. This process empowers you to communicate effectively, set boundaries, and navigate relationships with confidence.
Gradual Growth and Self-Trust Journey
Self-trust is cultivated through gradual steps that acknowledge feelings and encourage small actions. Embracing discomfort and making incremental progress, rather than leaping into significant changes, strengthens self-trust. By validating emotions, accepting mistakes, and taking consistent small steps outside your comfort zone, you pave the way for transformative personal growth. Trusting the process and respecting the gradual nature of self-trust journey leads to profound self-discovery and inner strength.
Sabrina explores the ins and outs of the healing journey with Masha, which revolves
around nervous system regulation and self-trust development. Nervous system
dysregulation goes hand in hand with how we view ourselves and our perception of
reality. How can we validate our feelings despite dysregulation and our distorted
perception of reality and decide on the best decision? Masha delves into how “trusting
yourself” starts with trusting your emotions, holding space for processing your emotions,
and then paving the way to decide. The decision may not be the best down the road (is
there ever a definite and immediate way to know?), but as long as it honors what you
were feeling at the moment and you accept the consequences down the road.
