What is something surprising that you learned from this video? I'd love to hear below!

Great explanation! Felt very validating to hear that it was a true connection and that it does hurt to walk away, but ultimately it is for our highest good

I sense there is potential powerful healing in bonds that are related to trauma And there can be so much love expressed as well. Both/and. I think if each person is taking action to do their internal work and tend the areas of relationship that need new patterns created there can be so much growth. I personally feel like community or a few other people or group during the healing would be so helpful. To have conversations and hugs and support for doing the work.

How wonderful you are! Thank you for your careful perspective on these subjects.

I love your empathetic description of a trauma bond. It describes the bond I feel towards my ex-partner in a way that allows for understanding and even love in the midst of lies and betrayal. We do understand each other at a very deep level. Our previous relationships were both traumatic, to people who deeply broke us and left us very fearful in every aspect of our relationship together, but there was deep love and understanding towards each other. I did a lot of work and my ex complained he couldn’t keep up or even catch up to my level of healing. But he never found a way that worked for him. He couldn’t bear to hear what various counsellors told him, not would he take meds, which took the edge off his depression so he could begin to do the work. He dealt with everything unpleasant by lying instead of finding the courage to set boundaries with his family members who had been raised by his own ex-wife in an incredibly toxic environment. This passive aggressive toxic soup then encompassed the next generation. He didn’t “rescue” his daughters soon enough, nor did he ever come to understand how toxic their family dynamics were. They needed him to stay just the way he was, for them, in their own pain. I had to leave in spite of loving him, he had the kindest most well meaning heart but as one friend said, he was the most misguided man he’d ever met. My philosophy had always been “no man left behind” but in the end I had to save myself. Till I listened to this video I wasn’t able to forgive myself for leaving while also acknowledging it was possible to still love him. I realize now I had to let him discover his own way out because he wasn’t able to take any accountability for any of his destructive ways of dealing with relationships, and it literally was killing me. Thank you Brianna ❤

I felt so bad when I read all over so ial media that they werent real connections... I'm so happy you explained it so clearly

[heatherfisher]

Brianna, you really get it. Love 💕 U !!!

How to move on from being suddenly dumped by an addicted, enmeshed partner. I realised that he was sex addict and fearful avoidant. Umm one part of my brain wonders if he will regret and realise the hurt caused to me. But then I feel that’s his journey. How to let go of resentment

This was incredibly helpful, thank you 🙏

[freeform]

Amazing! Thank you. I wonder what your human design is! I'm a 5/1 Splenic manifestor single def and I identify as a disorganized fearful attachment. 💖

[melinacaldara]

I love your videos. I wish your background was more simple and gentle. I mean the wallpaper, it’s to distracting like a disco ball. But I love your videos truly.

[luciaengel]

Good question; what are the true bounds around emotional responsibility?😊

[songsforsale]

Idk. I haven't been connecting to her last few.

I have been seeing a man who has been telling me for the past 6 years that he wants the same thing in a relationship that I want but he won't do anything to further our relationship, like divorcing his wife that he has been separated from for at least 10 years. After seeing someone for 6 years that is telling me he wants the same thing. Is he just using me? We are not intimate now but have been in the past. When I started following God I stopped it because it is not right. He told me when we first started seeing each other that if we followed God we would have a blessed relationship. I have been married before, got a divorce after 30 years because of abuse and infidelity. My gut tells me I am being strung along by this man. What are your thoughts?

You have been on fire with these topics lately! Thank you so much for going outside the spectrum of topics that are approached in the realms of attachment, self-development (and even psychology)!
