**Were You Raised in a Home Where Communication Was Confusing?** In this episode I share what that was like for me, and perhaps you recognise some of the behaviours?…
Yee Ley LauHost
Were you raised in a home where communication was confusing? Have you ever wondered why you struggle to find the right words? Why your sentences seem to trail off? Why you know exactly what you want to say, but somehow it never comes out the way you intended? or why you replay conversations in your mind wondering if you said the wrong thing.
Perhaps you were told not to lie yet discovered they weren't always truthful with you.
Perhaps you were criticised for getting something wrong, but no one ever explained what right actually looked like.
They start to learn unpredictability instead of developing confidence in their own thoughts and feelings.
What do they want me to say? Did I get that wrong? Am I about to be told off? Children don't learn who they are in isolation.
They learn who they are through the consistency or inconsistency of the relationships around them.
When expectations are unclear, we can spend a lifetime trying harder, overperforming and seeking approval.
