Chapter six walks through patterns of self-rejection that plays into relationships.
Friendships, or relationships that are long-term, have lasted through the test of time, know you well. You still perform. When vulnerabilities come up, you say, then you run. Don't reach out to them for a while. Go ghost until you figure it out.
Leave before they have the chance to accept you in your mess.
It comes into play when there is someone new and exciting because they have no reason to reject you. You get addicted to this, anxiously attached. Attached to your "Perfect Self", also who you are with alcohol. This isn't real. If they love you, it's only an idea of you. So when they give you an inch of maybe a rejection is coming, that is when our nervous system alarm system goes off, "They got bored of you! THey figured you out! THey aren't addicted to you like you are addicted to them, therefore you aren't worthy!!"
This episode walks through these patterns and what it looks like in real time.
Also, practices of what we can do instead. Exercises of strengthening the what-if POSTITIVE muscle, instead of feeding the what-if NEGATIVE muscle. The brain is made up of neuropathways, we choose our experience on this earth, no one else.
