What’s really happening is that the past is tapping into the present moment and reminding the person of the hurt they experienced, so then they’re in this state of alert and their reaction to their partner could be aggressive or avoidant. So, there’s a prime example of how our individual insecurity can hurt a relationship. (Juan Santos) Once you recognize you are operating from a place of insecurity, you can move towards security by doing an evaluation of yourself. Do journal writing: view your insecurities in work, in your relationship, when you look in the mirror, and break down those insecurities by becoming aware of them. Dig into them to try and find some sort of understanding, keep asking ‘why’ to go deeper into them. How do you build healthy self-esteem? We must engage in healthy changes to allow ourselves to fully grow and release what is no longer serving us.
