00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:13.679
Hello, everybody.
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:25.839
It's your girl Brianna Williams, LAPC, and I'm glad to have you in the building today, or in your car, or in your house, or in your workplace, wherever you're at, tuning in.
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:32.320
I thank you for joining in for another um Reaching Monds mini-series.
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:33.280
Therapy.
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:34.960
Nah, we don't do that.
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:42.960
Um, if you haven't yet, go ahead and look at the last two episodes, uh, talking about stigma and talking about faith and therapy.
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:44.320
Go ahead and check it out.
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:48.719
In my opinion, they lit, but I might be biased.
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:54.320
Um, and if you haven't yet, go to Instagram and go follow at Reach Your Minds.
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:54.960
You know what?
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:56.320
Go do it right now.
00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:58.799
All right, good luck.
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:06.159
So I wanted to jump in and I want to continue the conversation on why we don't do therapy.
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:14.799
And one of the things that as you can see by the title has that I feel has held us back is is family secrets.
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:20.159
And this is just a disclaimer right here that you may become triggered with this topic.
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:24.319
Um, it may hit some sore spots, it might be a little bit uncomfortable.
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:44.000
Um, and so I want to encourage you to go do what you need to do to take care of yourself, whether that is going and talking with somebody, going on the phone, whatever like that, or going outside for a while, getting some sunlight, watching TV, um eating your favorite meal, whatever it is like that.
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:45.920
I want you to go ahead and do that.
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:54.079
And also, I want you to know that if you do become triggered or if it is uncomfortable, it's a good thing, it's okay.
00:01:54.319 --> 00:02:00.480
And that just means that's something that we need to work through and we need to work on and address.
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:07.519
And so I encourage you not to turn a blind eye to it as we're you know talking about these things.
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.360
I encourage you to figure out, okay, what's my next step?
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:15.280
Let me address this thing so that way it's not as heavy anymore.
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:15.919
Okay.
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:18.400
Alright, let's tap back in.
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.080
Real quick, finish this phrase for me.
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.280
What goes on in this house, what?
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.360
Yep, stays in this house.
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:34.240
What goes on in this house stays in this house.
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:45.360
This is this is an infamous, infamous phrase that caused us to grow silent and turn a blind eye to the things that hurt us.
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:50.960
All because we're protecting the family name or the family image.
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:56.560
But better yet, um, we're upholding the fears that others placed on us.
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:17.199
But the question that I have with this when it comes to trying to do all these things is what choices am I left with if I can't release and express what has hurt me or has happened to me.
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.879
Silence is not random.
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:28.159
And it's not by happenstance, but it's learned behavior.
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.680
Matter of fact, it's it's survival.
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:43.759
This is something that generations and generations before us has been doing, and and we just been adopting it over time.
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:52.960
Um but staying silent it costs us something.
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:59.360
And I believe it's it has costed our our ancestors something.
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.800
And so that that's what I wanted to address today.
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:16.319
What is staying silent about these family secrets really costing you or me if you want to personalize it?
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:30.480
Family secrets, they're they're intended to protect, minimize shame, provide a sense of control, um, and create safety, right?
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:39.040
These all sound like good intentions, but they're detrimental to individuals and generations.
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:56.560
And here's where this might might trigger you here, but as I'm thinking about family secrets, I'm thinking about the times in our families where we won't talk about the abusers.
00:04:58.480 --> 00:04:59.759
We won't talk about them.
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.759
We know we know what they did.
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:37.199
And if we don't know for sure, we kind of suspect that they was doing something, but we don't talk about them because of the shame it may cause, or the loyalty to the family name, or because of the excuses that we give them, like, oh, you know, they just going through something, or they didn't have much growing up, or their father wasn't there, or you know, so many different excuses that that we give the abusers within our family.
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:42.879
And then I think about the one that it happened to.
00:05:44.160 --> 00:06:21.680
I think about the one who was abused, whether that be sexually, physically, mentally, and emotionally, I know we don't really count those in our culture, but even those, and I imagine them that every family function that they gotta put on a smile and pretend that their abuser didn't violate them, and even in sometimes those gatherings are the places where they'll continue to be violated.
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:39.439
Then I think about the individuals where they're not informed about the other half of their family, or they're given false information on who their parents are.
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:45.279
Auntie and uncle raised them, but they are called mom and dad.
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:50.240
Meanwhile, who they think is their aunt is really their mother.
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:56.480
Family secrets, but they just don't stop there.
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:14.800
Um, they come in many different forms, whether it's it's down to addiction, um, it's down to financial debt, um, sexuality, legal history, and and and more, I'm sure you guys have stories, and you can feel free to share them with me.
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:18.319
You know, DM me on Instagram at Reachent Minds.
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:35.439
Um, because I'm pretty sure there are so many, so many family secrets, so many things that have happened to us, and so many things that we have buried, and while our silence is normalized, our bodies still respond.
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.800
Our bodies feel that thing.
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:48.800
Family secrets, they just don't stay in the past, but they show up in the body, the mind, and in relationships.
00:07:50.480 --> 00:08:04.800
As we hide and deny what has happened, it creates internal conflict, meaning that I second guess myself, meaning that I can't trust my intuition.
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.839
Mentally, I I self-doubt.
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:20.399
I'm hyper-vigilant, always reading between the lines and uh checking every box and every cue, looking into every word.
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:23.120
I struggle with trust.
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:28.560
Not just myself, not just trusting in myself, but trusting others.
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:37.039
Um, I experience internalized shame because now I feel responsible for what happened to me.
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:38.879
I feel dirty.
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.039
I feel unworthy.
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:46.639
I feel unvalued.
00:08:48.559 --> 00:09:02.799
Emotionally, I'm I'm I'm going through anxiety or chronic stress, going through depression, suppressed anger, experiencing grief.
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:08.000
I'm also guilty.
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:10.559
There's a lot of guilt that's coming up for me.
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:15.039
Because if I speak up, I betray the family.
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.639
If I speak up, they're gonna dishon me.
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.320
If I speak up, they're gonna deny it.
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:31.120
And emotionally, family secrets cause causes emotional numbness.
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:37.519
I can't feel because for so long I've been taught not to feel.
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.600
I've been taught that my feelings don't really matter.
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:58.000
And all this, all this emotional weight causes intergenerational trauma, and that's something that we're gonna talk about next week.
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:03.519
Um, and this is where unprocessed pain gets passed down.
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:12.080
So this little plug, stay tuned for the conversation on intergenerational trauma next week.
00:10:12.559 --> 00:11:12.240
But physically, when it comes to family secrets, a person may experience chronic tension, they may experience headaches or migraines constantly, um, they may experience fatigue and or burnout, they're constantly tired, um, maybe some sleep disturbances, insomnia, sleep apnea sometimes, and then there's other stress-related health conditions like immune diseases, um, and digestive issues, and um heart issues, all of these different things because we're trying to hold on to these family secrets, but the moral of the story of this is that your body will tell the truth your family told you to hide.
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:24.320
Your body will tell the truth that your family told you to hide.
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:31.679
I understand it's hard.
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:44.000
It's hard to really face the secrets, really face the heaviness of holding these secrets.
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:54.559
It's really hard to even think about the consequences if you were to let go of these secrets right.
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:00.480
But this is the cost.
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:27.039
All of the things that I I listed are the cost, and that's just mentally, emotionally, and physically, but relationally it may be hard being vulnerable and intimate with somebody.
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:34.159
You may self-sabotage relationships because of your low self-esteem.
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:48.720
You may not have the bandwidth to carry on relationships, and so you're not communicating, you're ghosting, you're isolating, and now you're losing friends.
00:12:51.759 --> 00:13:04.960
You may take that pattern of lying and deceiving and manipulating into romantic relationships, and the other person may say, Ah, I can't deal with that.
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:42.960
Family secrets keep us in a place of isolation, keep us in a place of not really being honest with ourselves, with our families, with our friends, family secrets block the opportunity for true healing.
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:50.879
So, how do I overcome these family secrets?
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:55.200
How do I allow myself to heal from family secrets?
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:05.679
One I want you to do yourself a favor and relieve yourself of the responsibility to carry your family's image.
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:13.120
It's not your responsibility to carry and paint this perfect picture.
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:21.440
Two, I want you to name your experience privately, right?
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:33.519
And that's just you saying it out loud in the mirror or saying it to yourself or writing it down, like really, what happened to you?
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:37.039
What do you know?
00:14:37.279 --> 00:15:01.440
Maybe nothing happened to you, but you've heard so much, and it has shaped your your reality of life, or it has uh really jacked up your nervous system, or it has really jacked up on how you connect with people and trust people and things like that because of what you know about your family.
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:11.679
Write it down, say it out loud, acknowledge it, admit it.
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:20.399
And then I want you to create your own safe space.
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:29.919
Meaning talk to a trusted loved one, talk to a therapist.
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:32.480
I mean that's that's why we here, right?
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:37.759
But like I get it, therapy might be too overwhelming right now, and I I ain't gonna push you.
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:40.720
But keep that in the back of your mind.
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:42.480
Don't count it out.
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:47.679
But start with talking to a family fri to a to a to a family member.
00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:51.120
I'm sorry, talk to a family member or talk to a friend.
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:53.200
Journal.
00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:04.000
Put some of that suppressed anger into an activity or a hobby or a sport or something.
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:15.360
Create some safe spaces, and then I want you to adopt new language.
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:33.679
This means that when you are about to share what you feel, or about to share what happened, or things like that, or things happen in your life in the future, or whatever, like that, because we're bound to go through things, right?
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:38.080
I want you to tell yourself that yes, I can talk about this.
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:42.960
Yes, it is that deep, right?
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:44.639
Don't minimize it.
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:51.600
Yes, I will be heard, somebody will listen to me, somebody will take me seriously.
00:16:54.240 --> 00:17:01.519
And then last, I want you to be the safe space for others to end the cycle.
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:32.720
Be the safe space that you didn't have growing up, be the safe space that you couldn't get in your home, or within your family, or with even in some of your friend groups, or within your your your other communities, whether that's church or school or whatever like that, like listen the cycle by doing something different.
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:36.240
And so, guys, I thank y'all for listening.
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:38.000
I know this was a toughie, right?
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:43.839
I know this was was deep, but I challenge you to go ahead and end those cycles.
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:48.319
I challenge you to go ahead and address the things that have happened to you.
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:51.599
Address the things that have happened within your family.
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:54.480
Be real so you can be healed.
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:58.640
So, again, my name is Brianna Williams, LAPC.
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:00.559
I thank you for tuning in.

00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:06.799

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:13.679
Hello, everybody.
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:25.839
It's your girl Brianna Williams, LAPC, and I'm glad to have you in the building today, or in your car, or in your house, or in your workplace, wherever you're at, tuning in.
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:32.320
I thank you for joining in for another um Reaching Monds mini-series.
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:33.280
Therapy.
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:34.960
Nah, we don't do that.
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:42.960
Um, if you haven't yet, go ahead and look at the last two episodes, uh, talking about stigma and talking about faith and therapy.
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:44.320
Go ahead and check it out.
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:48.719
In my opinion, they lit, but I might be biased.
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:54.320
Um, and if you haven't yet, go to Instagram and go follow at Reach Your Minds.
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:54.960
You know what?
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:56.320
Go do it right now.
00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:58.799
All right, good luck.
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:06.159
So I wanted to jump in and I want to continue the conversation on why we don't do therapy.
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:14.799
And one of the things that as you can see by the title has that I feel has held us back is is family secrets.
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:20.159
And this is just a disclaimer right here that you may become triggered with this topic.
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:24.319
Um, it may hit some sore spots, it might be a little bit uncomfortable.
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:44.000
Um, and so I want to encourage you to go do what you need to do to take care of yourself, whether that is going and talking with somebody, going on the phone, whatever like that, or going outside for a while, getting some sunlight, watching TV, um eating your favorite meal, whatever it is like that.
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:45.920
I want you to go ahead and do that.
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:54.079
And also, I want you to know that if you do become triggered or if it is uncomfortable, it's a good thing, it's okay.
00:01:54.319 --> 00:02:00.480
And that just means that's something that we need to work through and we need to work on and address.
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:07.519
And so I encourage you not to turn a blind eye to it as we're you know talking about these things.
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.360
I encourage you to figure out, okay, what's my next step?
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:15.280
Let me address this thing so that way it's not as heavy anymore.
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:15.919
Okay.
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:18.400
Alright, let's tap back in.
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.080
Real quick, finish this phrase for me.
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.280
What goes on in this house, what?
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.360
Yep, stays in this house.
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:34.240
What goes on in this house stays in this house.
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:45.360
This is this is an infamous, infamous phrase that caused us to grow silent and turn a blind eye to the things that hurt us.
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:50.960
All because we're protecting the family name or the family image.
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:56.560
But better yet, um, we're upholding the fears that others placed on us.
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:17.199
But the question that I have with this when it comes to trying to do all these things is what choices am I left with if I can't release and express what has hurt me or has happened to me.
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.879
Silence is not random.
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:28.159
And it's not by happenstance, but it's learned behavior.
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.680
Matter of fact, it's it's survival.
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:43.759
This is something that generations and generations before us has been doing, and and we just been adopting it over time.
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:52.960
Um but staying silent it costs us something.
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:59.360
And I believe it's it has costed our our ancestors something.
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.800
And so that that's what I wanted to address today.
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:16.319
What is staying silent about these family secrets really costing you or me if you want to personalize it?
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:30.480
Family secrets, they're they're intended to protect, minimize shame, provide a sense of control, um, and create safety, right?
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:39.040
These all sound like good intentions, but they're detrimental to individuals and generations.
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:56.560
And here's where this might might trigger you here, but as I'm thinking about family secrets, I'm thinking about the times in our families where we won't talk about the abusers.
00:04:58.480 --> 00:04:59.759
We won't talk about them.
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.759
We know we know what they did.
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:37.199
And if we don't know for sure, we kind of suspect that they was doing something, but we don't talk about them because of the shame it may cause, or the loyalty to the family name, or because of the excuses that we give them, like, oh, you know, they just going through something, or they didn't have much growing up, or their father wasn't there, or you know, so many different excuses that that we give the abusers within our family.
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:42.879
And then I think about the one that it happened to.
00:05:44.160 --> 00:06:21.680
I think about the one who was abused, whether that be sexually, physically, mentally, and emotionally, I know we don't really count those in our culture, but even those, and I imagine them that every family function that they gotta put on a smile and pretend that their abuser didn't violate them, and even in sometimes those gatherings are the places where they'll continue to be violated.
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:39.439
Then I think about the individuals where they're not informed about the other half of their family, or they're given false information on who their parents are.
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:45.279
Auntie and uncle raised them, but they are called mom and dad.
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:50.240
Meanwhile, who they think is their aunt is really their mother.
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:56.480
Family secrets, but they just don't stop there.
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:14.800
Um, they come in many different forms, whether it's it's down to addiction, um, it's down to financial debt, um, sexuality, legal history, and and and more, I'm sure you guys have stories, and you can feel free to share them with me.
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:18.319
You know, DM me on Instagram at Reachent Minds.
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:35.439
Um, because I'm pretty sure there are so many, so many family secrets, so many things that have happened to us, and so many things that we have buried, and while our silence is normalized, our bodies still respond.
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.800
Our bodies feel that thing.
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:48.800
Family secrets, they just don't stay in the past, but they show up in the body, the mind, and in relationships.
00:07:50.480 --> 00:08:04.800
As we hide and deny what has happened, it creates internal conflict, meaning that I second guess myself, meaning that I can't trust my intuition.
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.839
Mentally, I I self-doubt.
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:20.399
I'm hyper-vigilant, always reading between the lines and uh checking every box and every cue, looking into every word.
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:23.120
I struggle with trust.
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:28.560
Not just myself, not just trusting in myself, but trusting others.
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:37.039
Um, I experience internalized shame because now I feel responsible for what happened to me.
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:38.879
I feel dirty.
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.039
I feel unworthy.
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:46.639
I feel unvalued.
00:08:48.559 --> 00:09:02.799
Emotionally, I'm I'm I'm going through anxiety or chronic stress, going through depression, suppressed anger, experiencing grief.
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:08.000
I'm also guilty.
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:10.559
There's a lot of guilt that's coming up for me.
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:15.039
Because if I speak up, I betray the family.
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.639
If I speak up, they're gonna dishon me.
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.320
If I speak up, they're gonna deny it.
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:31.120
And emotionally, family secrets cause causes emotional numbness.
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:37.519
I can't feel because for so long I've been taught not to feel.
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.600
I've been taught that my feelings don't really matter.
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:58.000
And all this, all this emotional weight causes intergenerational trauma, and that's something that we're gonna talk about next week.
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:03.519
Um, and this is where unprocessed pain gets passed down.
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:12.080
So this little plug, stay tuned for the conversation on intergenerational trauma next week.
00:10:12.559 --> 00:11:12.240
But physically, when it comes to family secrets, a person may experience chronic tension, they may experience headaches or migraines constantly, um, they may experience fatigue and or burnout, they're constantly tired, um, maybe some sleep disturbances, insomnia, sleep apnea sometimes, and then there's other stress-related health conditions like immune diseases, um, and digestive issues, and um heart issues, all of these different things because we're trying to hold on to these family secrets, but the moral of the story of this is that your body will tell the truth your family told you to hide.
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:24.320
Your body will tell the truth that your family told you to hide.
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:31.679
I understand it's hard.
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:44.000
It's hard to really face the secrets, really face the heaviness of holding these secrets.
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:54.559
It's really hard to even think about the consequences if you were to let go of these secrets right.
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:00.480
But this is the cost.
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:27.039
All of the things that I I listed are the cost, and that's just mentally, emotionally, and physically, but relationally it may be hard being vulnerable and intimate with somebody.
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:34.159
You may self-sabotage relationships because of your low self-esteem.
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:48.720
You may not have the bandwidth to carry on relationships, and so you're not communicating, you're ghosting, you're isolating, and now you're losing friends.
00:12:51.759 --> 00:13:04.960
You may take that pattern of lying and deceiving and manipulating into romantic relationships, and the other person may say, Ah, I can't deal with that.
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:42.960
Family secrets keep us in a place of isolation, keep us in a place of not really being honest with ourselves, with our families, with our friends, family secrets block the opportunity for true healing.
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:50.879
So, how do I overcome these family secrets?
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:55.200
How do I allow myself to heal from family secrets?
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:05.679
One I want you to do yourself a favor and relieve yourself of the responsibility to carry your family's image.
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:13.120
It's not your responsibility to carry and paint this perfect picture.
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:21.440
Two, I want you to name your experience privately, right?
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:33.519
And that's just you saying it out loud in the mirror or saying it to yourself or writing it down, like really, what happened to you?
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:37.039
What do you know?
00:14:37.279 --> 00:15:01.440
Maybe nothing happened to you, but you've heard so much, and it has shaped your your reality of life, or it has uh really jacked up your nervous system, or it has really jacked up on how you connect with people and trust people and things like that because of what you know about your family.
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:11.679
Write it down, say it out loud, acknowledge it, admit it.
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:20.399
And then I want you to create your own safe space.
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:29.919
Meaning talk to a trusted loved one, talk to a therapist.
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:32.480
I mean that's that's why we here, right?
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:37.759
But like I get it, therapy might be too overwhelming right now, and I I ain't gonna push you.
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:40.720
But keep that in the back of your mind.
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:42.480
Don't count it out.
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:47.679
But start with talking to a family fri to a to a to a family member.
00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:51.120
I'm sorry, talk to a family member or talk to a friend.
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:53.200
Journal.
00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:04.000
Put some of that suppressed anger into an activity or a hobby or a sport or something.
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:15.360
Create some safe spaces, and then I want you to adopt new language.
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:33.679
This means that when you are about to share what you feel, or about to share what happened, or things like that, or things happen in your life in the future, or whatever, like that, because we're bound to go through things, right?
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:38.080
I want you to tell yourself that yes, I can talk about this.
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:42.960
Yes, it is that deep, right?
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:44.639
Don't minimize it.
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:51.600
Yes, I will be heard, somebody will listen to me, somebody will take me seriously.
00:16:54.240 --> 00:17:01.519
And then last, I want you to be the safe space for others to end the cycle.
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:32.720
Be the safe space that you didn't have growing up, be the safe space that you couldn't get in your home, or within your family, or with even in some of your friend groups, or within your your your other communities, whether that's church or school or whatever like that, like listen the cycle by doing something different.
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:36.240
And so, guys, I thank y'all for listening.
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:38.000
I know this was a toughie, right?
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:43.839
I know this was was deep, but I challenge you to go ahead and end those cycles.
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:48.319
I challenge you to go ahead and address the things that have happened to you.
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:51.599
Address the things that have happened within your family.
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:54.480
Be real so you can be healed.
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:58.640
So, again, my name is Brianna Williams, LAPC.
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:00.559
