What a task right? It can seem overwhelming but only when we are not taking full responsibility for the brokeness inside ourselves.
Listen to this podcast as I break down what I mean by that and how the whole bonding thing plays a role in our ability to do this.
Bonding!
You maybe thinking, “What? Why are we talking about his on here? I can function without having to bond with people...I have made it this far...”
Is that is you?
I understand.
I didn't realize I needed people: I thought people needed me.
Because I thought like this, I would stay on my P's and Q's to not rock the boat of the image I was trying to covey to the rest of the world; “I got my Christian game tight and there is nothing you can say about that”. LOL!
That was my mentality. I was afraid to fail in the presence of my Christian Brothers and Sisters.
I had been in this mode my whole life.
I had grown up in an alcoholic family. The only time my mother would take time for me is when she was helping me with school and would tell me that I was going to be valedictorian (God I hope I spelled that right!)
Because of the issues my parents had and the belief my mother had in me, I wanted to prove to the world my parents were not as worthless as most had judged them: I was with them and saw all that was impacting their life.
I had already been trying to help them with all their issues at a precious age of 5...
My worth was in what I gave to them. I never learned to receive love.
Can you relate?
So what is bonding exactly?
Its your ability to establish an emotional connection with another person.
How are you doing with that?
Why is this so important?
How does it impact on how we go on to present ourselves to the rest of the world?
All this will be discussed in this and future episodes!
Let's jump in and discuss this very important skill in relationships.
