Emotional dependency signifies acquiring ones great feelings from outdoors oneself. It implies needing to get filled from outdoors rather than from inside. Who or what do you believe is responsible for your emotional wellbeing?

There are several forms of emotional dependency:


 * Dependence on substances, such as food, drugs, or alcohol, to fill emptiness and take away discomfort.


 * Dependency on processes such as spending, gambling, or Television, also to fill emptiness and take away discomfort.


 * Dependence on funds to define ones worth and adequacy.


 * Dependence on getting someones love, approval, or attention to really feel worthy, adequate, lovable, and protected.


 * Dependence on sex to fill emptiness and feel adequate.

When you do not take responsibility for defining your own adequacy and worth or for generating your own inner sense of safety, you will seek to really feel sufficient, worthy and protected externally. Whatever you do not give to oneself, you may possibly seek from others or from substances or processes. Emotional dependency is the opposite of taking personal responsibility for ones emotional wellbeing. But many people have no thought that this is their responsibility, nor do they have any notion how to take this responsibility.

What does it imply to take emotional responsibility rather than be emotionally dependent?

Primarily, it implies recognizing that our feelings come from our own thoughts, beliefs and behavior, rather than from other individuals or from circumstances. As soon as you comprehend and accept that you generate your personal feelings, rather than your feelings coming from outdoors oneself, then you can begin to take emotional responsibility.

For example, lets say an individual you care about gets angry at you.

If you are emotionally dependent, you may really feel rejected and think that your feelings of rejection are coming from the other individuals anger. You may also feel hurt, scared, anxious, inadequate, shamed, angry, blaming, or several other challenging feeling in response to the others anger. You could try several techniques of obtaining the other individual to not be angry in an work to feel much better.

Nonetheless, if you are emotionally responsible, you will really feel and respond completely differently. The very first point you might do is to inform oneself that another persons anger has nothing at all to do with you. Maybe that individual is obtaining a poor day and is taking it out on you. Perhaps that individual is feeling hurt or inadequate and is trying to be one particular-up by putting you one particular-down. Whatever the cause for the other individuals anger, it is about them rather than about you. An emotionally responsible person does not take other individuals behavior personally, being aware of that we have no control more than other individuals feelings and behavior, and that we do not cause other individuals to feel and behave the way they do - that other people are responsible for their feelings and behavior just as we are for ours.

The next thing an emotionally responsible individual could do is move into compassion for the angry individual, and open to understanding about what is going on with the other person. For instance, you may well say, I dont like your anger, but I am prepared to understand what is upsetting you. Would you like to talk about it? If the individual refuses to quit becoming angry, or if you know ahead of time that this person is not going to open up, then as an emotionally accountable person, you would take loving action in your personal behalf. For example, you may say, Im unwilling to be at the other end of your anger. When you are prepared to be open with me, let me know. Meanwhile, Im going to take a walk (or hang up the telephone, or leave the restaurant, or go into the other area, and so on). An emotionally responsible individual gets out of range of attack rather than tries to change the other individual.

Once out of range, the emotionally responsible person goes inside and explores any painful feelings that may have resulted from the attack. For instance, possibly you are feeling lonely as a result of being attacked. An emotionally accountable person embraces the feelings of loneliness with understanding and compassion, holding them just as you would hold a sad child. When you acknowledge and embrace the feelings of loneliness, you allow them to move by way of you quickly, so you can move back into peace.

Rather than becoming a victim of the other individuals behavior, you have taken emotional responsibility for oneself. Instead of staying stuck in feeling angry, hurt, blaming, afraid, anxious or inadequate, you have moved your self back into feeling secure and peaceful.

When you comprehend that your feelings are your responsibility, you can move out of emotional dependency. This will make a enormous distinction within you and with all of your relationships. Relationships thrive when each and every individual moves out of emotional dependency and into emotional responsibility. --- Bloco de notas --- Não é possível encontrar "csv" --- OK  --- --- Bloco de notas --- Não é possível encontrar "csv" --- OK  --- --- Bloco de notas --- Não é possível encontrar "csv" --- OK  ---
