I sent this video to my therapist. Number 2 (barriers vs boundaries) was really good…. But it was number 3 (the adult self escaping and letting the child take over) that really hit. I’ve been trying to understand this and describe it. Now I can understand it. Thank you!
🧠 First and foremost, here is your brain emoji :-). I never thought about the inner child before joining BodySlims, but now many of my morning walk conversations are with this child. He can be so demanding at times, but i must remember I am the adult in these talks. Thank you for sharing your journey, Carla. ❤
🧠I have been through therapy on and off throughout my life. I have found that as I age I have really started to feel love for myself and forgiveness for my past mistakes, this has really helped me on this final journey to my goal weight. I am putting myself first now💖
Thank you Carla. I have read multiple books on setting boundaries. You have presented an interesting perspective about barriers and boundaries. In the past, I had No boundaries because of flawed reasoning I learned as a child . The result was I ended up being a doormat to multiple toxic abusive people. After learning about boundaries and implementing them, the toxic cruel evil people are gone. Healthy caring people respect boundaries. I have set up protective barriers in order to have a fulfilling life. ❤️😊💪
That was an amazing explanation of how you learned about who was running the show in your life and how you integrated it and let the adult lead while loving the child who was doing the heavy lifting for so long. I have been on this journey and although it can be painful, coming out whole on the other side is soooo worth it. You inspire me and make me smile so much on your channel. Thank you for being so vulnerable and open about your life and being so real.❤
Your explanation about the bad, the ok, and the good place has been on of the most impactful insights I've ever had to explain my mental health status.
My inner child is constantly whining and undermining my peace of mind. I have learned to parent myself, but it was a fairky long process. Therapy is a wonderful tool. ❤❤❤
I am in the process of “finding myself and have broken barriers w/o boundaries. I am on a new journey for therapy, thank you for your consistent transparency and help. XX 🧠
Really appreciate the insights and lessons you shared here. ❤ your story is so inspiring and is truly affecting people in a positive way. Please keep sharing your experience. 👏❤️
So insightful Carla, I love how self aware you are, I found your explanation of the difference between boundary and barrier so interesting, you have given me a lot to reflect on, I’m so grateful that you are so kind and open to sharing your experiences with therapy, I’m delighted that you are working with this group of therapists , it’s so helpful to get recommendations from a trusted source , I know that sometimes when you realise that you require the services and support of a therapist, it might well be so difficult to have the energy and headspace to source one , so it’s much appreciated (Joanne) 💗
You are wonderful. I have lost weight with Keto which is pretty opposite to what you eat but I find great wisdom in what you say about eating and mental health. I am a big fan!
🧠 thank you Carla! I’m trying food addicts anonymous just for this reason…to hear something from someone else that I’ve felt too but didn’t quite think of it that way before. You help me too Carla. Thank you sincerely for that!
❤❤❤ Thank you, Carla for sharing. As you pointed out about the traumatized inner child that was huge for me. I never thought about it that way, I see in someways that my inner child takes over, oh my goodness. I am grateful for you sharing your life with us. ❤❤❤I will be setting up an appointment with BetterHelp.
Mentioning Betterhelp made me feel like this was just a really long ad. There's so much wrong with Betterhelp I can't even finish this video but hey ad revenue built into a video is basically in every RUclips video these days. Betterhelp just really shouldn't be something suggested in any video about actual progress in therapy.
I have been recently diagnosed with ADHD and been learning through therapy that my relationship with food was (still is) greatly impacted by it. Have you ever considered that your low lows and states of depression in the past were due to your ADHD? Would you consider talking about this? I would love to hear your thoughts. Love from Portugal🙌🏻

I feel the same way!

Your videos are always so timely for whatever I’m going through. Are you psychic? Haha. Anyway, thanks again for another great one ❤

To be fair, once the "ad" is over, the video is worth watching.
