53 - TRUST ISSUES - I don't have trust issues, so why don't I trust them? ft. So My Mom's A Therapist

Welcome to ‘No Mans Land’ - when you have no trust issues in your relationship and no reason to not trust your partner but you struggle with trust & insecurity. It’s a sticky in between area when sometimes you feel uncomfortable and you find yourself thinking ‘do I trust them!?’ or ‘do I not trust myself? Is this the problem coming from me or is it being caused by them? Is it because of a partner or incident before? Should they be doing more to help me or should I be pulling myself together? Am I being irrational? Are they being irrational? If you can relate, this episode is for you.  Today, Louise is once again joined by Lisa Smith, of TikTok’s ‘So My Mom’s A Therapist’ notoriety to discuss all things TRUST.  They pair discuss:  ⇢ The concept of silence, suppression, the crazy girl and the cool girl ⠀ ⇢ How the cool girl and crazy girl show up in our cognition and in our brain patterns ⠀ ⇢ Why it’s not needy to have needs but why we don’t act on our feelings because of rejection ⠀ ⇢ The physical impacts of ignoring our own needs ⠀ ⇢The real of ‘reasonable’ - what can you ask your partner to do to make you feel better? ⠀ ⇢ How to understand the difference between overactive anxiety and an overactive nervous system response vs. our gut trying to tell us the truth ⠀ ⇢ The secret to soothing your nervous system, alone, and with your partner;  ⠀ ⇢ How to navigate these situations when our bodies aren’t happy and we don’t feel safe.  And so much more. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– OPENHOUSE Links ⠀ Connect with Louise on Instagram: @iamlouiserumball Connect with Louise on TikTok: @thetherapygirl__ Connect with OPENHOUSE on Instagram: @theopenhousepodcast ⠀ Connect with Lisa Smith on Instagram: @somymomsatherapist Connect with Lisa Smith on TikTok: @somymomsatherapist Stream So My Mom’s A Therapist on Spotify: here ⠀ Sign up to join the OPENHOUSE mailing list to receive first access to all workshops, courses and live events: www.thisisopenhouse.com ⠀ ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––  Learn more about your ad choices.
