Why developing self-compassion is the key to updating your views on love
The way we view and respond to the external world is a direct reflection of our internal landscape.
Growing up, during our early years of brain development, many of us were not shown love unconditionally. Love was often tied to things like being a ‘good’ child, taking care of others, playing a role, behaving at a high level, or something else. What this means, is that love had a few barriers around it – it wasn’t just offered without conditions. This also meant that we had to work within a (potentially harsh or unpredictable) framework to receive what we needed to survive.
