  • In this episode, Teal discusses one of the most common relationship dynamics in today’s world. Teal calls this the “please love me” dynamic. Usually in the please love me dynamic, the woman is continuously trying to capture and keep a man’s attention (and therefore love). And a man feels like he can’t please the woman (and therefore he cannot be loved by her) so he withdraws. Teal explains what creates this dynamic and how to solve it.

    I am a single father of 4 daughters. I have been married and divorced twice. It took me 2 failed marriages to figure out the issues that I had been battling from childhood. I had major self loathing issues stemming from the lack of validation I received from my parents who had an abusive relationship and greatly affected my siblings and I. We all reacted differently. I chose to seek out validation from my partners and I quickly became submissive and allowed my partner to become who I was, and in effect completely dishonest with them about who they were with reflecting only what I thought they wanted, to keep them happy. I realize finally after great pain and fear that I had to be myself to be honest, but in order to do this I had to fully accept myself and bring both the accepted and reject selves together as one. Today I remain single because I and focusing on my daughters, I had to repair my relationships with them, and things are going great. My first born daughters live with me full time and my other two visit me on a weekly basis. I want give them the love and attention they deserve. They are all such beautiful women and it's truly amazing to see my oldest daughter at 18 already looking within for self observation and self improvement. Each has their own most beautiful spirit and I want to be a great asset to their lives as a father should be.

      @@Iamavoyager soon after this comment I decided that 20 years of abuse was enough. I stood in the middle of the living room and said “I am moving out.” The entire divorce process was long, stressful, and amounted to financial ruin. Just recently, after 2 years it was finally over. The good news it that I learned how to live again and I could not be happier. I literally feel like I have been let out of a cage. There is a lot of psychological damage and I may never stop having nightmares. The lessons learned about my own issues and and faults, and what to avoid in a partner will help make the second half of life a lot more enjoyable.

      Harville Hendrix, PhD gives a slightly different take on this. His description totally fits my life. It fits your life also. ... the fact is, we’re unconsciously drawn to that special someone with the best and worst character traits of all of our caregivers combined. We call this our “Imago”-the template of positive and negative qualities of your primary caregivers. His books are worth reading.

    I had an overwhelming mother and an addicted and absent father, I am now a divorced, fulltime single father of two boys and a girl (18-16-13). I have a much closer relationship with her then with my sons. Thank you for this video, it helps a lot with the healing process.

    I just realised that not only were my father and mother emotionally unavailable, my father was also violent, so I thought his absence was a blessing, whenever he wasn't there. Now I understand I"ve been craving for love all my life, attracting exactly this frustrating and painful pattern. I never understood the side of the men being so unavailable, but now I can see they were swallowed by their codependent mums. Thanks.. We're all healing major relationship and childhood trauma now, all over the planet. The great awakening is there, it all starts with becoming conscious.

    I, as a man, have found myself being on the "woman's side" of this dynamic with the last woman I dated. It's been a great opportunity to grow and learn how women must have felt dating me in previous relationships. So many bitter pills to swallow for this growth but worth it.

    Don't ever get into a relationship unless you are already happy and contented with life and enjoy your own company. Nobody can give you joy and contentment they can and should only add to what you already have.
    If you are in a relationship and you feel like you are constantly giving and getting little back in return then it's time to shake hands and move on. Never let anyone be an emotional leech because it's sad to say that if someone is that way they wont be happy until you feel as bad as they do.
    A lot of people say that respect is earned but that's a falsehood because in reality respect is given until they try and take it away. Always listen to your instinct because no matter how confused you might be your instinct, that little voice in the back of your mind, always tells the truth.
    You are a beautiful, loving and generous person and deserve to be with someone just like you so please don't accept second best.
    Peace

      Agree with you mostly. However this is a double edged sword.
      If my partner is not getting the love she needs from me, does that mean that I am not made for her as I do not love her enough in the way she wants, or does that mean that she got into a relationship as a way get an external soothing for an inner pain ?

    • @ethanpoole3443
      @ethanpoole3443 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      The problem with that ideal is that it effectively condemns many of us to an eternal loneliness that is mere existence and death - I’ve not even known real happiness but for a few fleeting moments in more than 36 years. Because of others’ abuse throughout my life I have gone more than half of my life, nearly my entire adult life at 48, with absolutely no meaningful emotional and zero physical intimacy with anyone whatsoever to escape the abuse and it is a far more lonely life than one can possibly imagine if not already living that life (I’m not talking the “incel” crowd, some fraction of whom are a-holes and others confused or lost, but literal abuse survivors trying to avoid the abuse of others). That not only means no romantic relationships but also no new friendships since the capacity for trust was largely destroyed long ago by a particularly violent partner (on top of the years of abuse in childhood). Living that many years alone, in your own thoughts, and disabled (the abuse destroyed my health by age 18) is not much fun after awhile and goes well beyond solitude and may as well be a living hell as it is a prison for the soul. We exist to love all but never to know love for ourselves (at least not without more abuse) and to try and bring some happiness into other’s lives so that we may at least know some vicarious happiness in our own and make this world a little better for others than the awful one we were born into.
      This logic that one must be a near perfect human being devoid of any needs, desires, or shortcomings before they can be loved effectively declares our lives forfeit as a consequence of other’s evil. Because of the abuse in our childhood, we were never afforded the opportunity to discover anything worthy or deserving of love within ourselves because the only valuations that were ever reflected back to us during our formative years were of pure hate and so our brains are literally hardwired to hate and loathe ourselves (though often highly empathic towards others) unless there is a trusted other to come along and help us to discover something of value and worth within us that would be deserving of love, though for many of us that will never happen as that inner voice is the distilled narcissism of our 100+ abusers throughout our lives and without a trusted outsider to challenge that voice all we can see/hear within ourselves is a self with a handful of objective positive qualities and a million negatives and flaws (including the damage to our mental health and the multitude of chronic and disabling illnesses the abuse directly caused that only further devalue us in the eyes of those that might otherwise consider loving us) that logically outweigh any and all positives by orders of magnitude.
      A lot of “healthy” self-loving persons stood by and watched our abuse, some even cheering it on, many others took turns participating in that abuse over the many years, but, by this logic, they are for some reason worthy and allowed to be loved since they love themselves while those of us who were abused and forever damaged by them are relegated to live in purgatory to pay for their cruelty because we are not entitled to be loved by another since we were denied the opportunity to form a self-loving identity in childhood since they took great delight in programming us with hate for ourselves during our most formative years where the brain’s wiring for self-identity was laid down in early adolescence. Essentially, the message is that we haven’t yet paid a high enough price for their fun so we are unworthy of anyone who might ultimately help to heal our pain through love. I don’t see that as terribly fair at all. What if it were your son or daughter, brother or sister, cousin or friend stuck in this hell created by others’ evil? Would the argument be that they are still unworthy of another’s love if that special person were to come into their life by chance or good fortune and help to heal them? At what point are we considered to have paid a high enough price for our abuse to be potentially worthy of love in another’s eyes? In essence, we can’t win for losing as we are told that even if that healing person should come into our lives we should reject them out of hand because we don’t already love ourselves - that’s a lot like the emergency room staff refusing a desperately ill patient access to the ER until that patient has cured their own disease by themselves and only then will the ER physician see the now cured patient who no longer needs access to the ER! The adage might sound like wisdom, but it falls dead flat on logic! But it is particularly cruel towards those who were abused in childhood!

    Teal, I don't think I have ever commented on any of your videos, but I've been listening to you for about a couple of years now. Your heart meditation is responsible for my having quit smoking, and I just don't know how to ever thank you for all the love and truth you are sharing with me and the rest of humanity! I have been unaware of the foundational relationship dynamics with my father, reflected in my present relationships. Little by little, as i delve deeper and deeper, i am able to bring those insecurities and reasons for suffering to the surface, and into the light; and to reveal them not only to my partner, but to admit them, once and for all, to my father.

  • @adorasalcone9845
    @adorasalcone9845 9 ปีที่แล้ว +39

    This video made me cry, my father was always working and always emotionally distant. It's so obvious now why I always expect that I have to put so much energy into convincing my boyfriend to pay attention to me, and to fear so much his attention will stray if I am not desperately trying. Strangely, I realize I have always idolized my father. I always defend him, and think of him as a much stronger person then me. Even though I know he is terrified of his emotions and others. He actually grew up bullied for being the fat kid in a rich family. He always has had his validation from working himself to a really unhealthy state.
    With my boyfriend,
    Initially I was that carefree, happy girl, confident that he loved me. I was extremely caring without suffocating him. I lost it when the honey-moon type phase was over. I since have always tried way too hard that it makes things a thousand times worse. He always is hurt that no matter how much he feels he shows his love, and everything he does for me, I don't see it.

    Nobody is perfect, we all need to accept this. Trust is hard to come by these days. I was raised by a single mother, and I seen the things she did to men, and of course being around every day, I knew how many men. I watched her lie to one man, so she could be with another. Start an argument with the man she was with, so that she could justify being with another. Then she totally lied to me about my father. Now she is Mrs. Perfect, married, happy? It took me at least 3 relationships, and about 12 years to learn how to trust the women in my life. How did I learn to trust? By losing the women that I loved very much, then by realizing that I am the only person that belongs to me. Basically the hard way. Thanks Mom I should also add that most of the relationships I have today are very open

    It's truly terrifying to realise how many people are out there having children with zero awareness of these dynamics. I've just had a relationship end this way - I hadn't seen this video, but I instinctively pulled right back after a year of my partner checking-out and blaming his depression and random violent rages on me. I do know I was supportive and appreciative, and also had my own life, people and interests too. So I was neither clingy nor critical. I expressed my needs and gave feedback. Me pulling back ultimately did see the relationship fail. I'm glad I watched this video, it's helped bring me some peace about that.

      @kaylacarpenter9658 5 ปีที่แล้ว +53

      @@melinarodriguez8395 Not everything is based on hurt. Sexual orientation often has little to do with trauma. Many autistic people are very cerebral and asexual. The fantasy in their minds outweighs the desire for sexual discourse. Also, some people just don't like penetration, but engage in other sexual acts like touching and kissing.
      By assuming that people who don't fit the sociocultural mold are deeply hurt, is also assuming that there is only one way to be.
      This is not reality.

As I watched the part about fathers really seeing their daughters (in-to-me-see, yes!), I felt my heart pulse in recognition of a deep truth and some deeper pain.
    And I'd add that we should be tenderly (not brutally) honest with ourselves... (Ha! Just watched the video about authenticity vs. being an A-hole. That title made me laugh out loud.
