Hi Everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the M.E.O.W. Podcast! In today's episode, we will dive into our Karmic Relationship Series and the repetitive cycles in which individuals get stuck. This chat is directly sourced from the book The Inner Work of Relationships by Mat & Ash.
In today's chat, we will explore the wound of Distrust. At the heart of a relationship struggling with the wound of distrust lies the emotion of fear. A fundamental aspect of the human mind that can trigger various extreme behaviors. The constant worry about potential adverse events and whether the partnership can withstand such challenges undermines trust. It breeds paranoia and suspicion, casting a shadow on our relationships. Recognizing that behaviors exhibited in survival mode do not reflect each other's true self or the relationship's inherent potential is crucial.
Maybe you overcompensate for past fear and stresses; our wounded inner child seeks to prove its ability to conquer fear by deliberately challenging it and engaging in unnecessary risky behavior to prove our fearlessness. When we undercompensate our feelings of fear, uncertainty, or trust issues, we often exhibit behaviors marked by anxiety, suspicion, paranoia, and a tendency to close off or become overly controlling in our relationship. The ability to navigate the pains of loss and regret is foundational for building relationships anchored in trust and loyalty. When we successfully process and communicate these difficult emotions, we create a safe space for genuine trust. This means genuinely believing in our ability to handle whatever comes our way, and it’s all made possible through open and honest communication. So, learn more about the wound of distrust and how Anri and Blanca have learned to move through the fear of getting hurt.
