The Healing Environment
Of The Family
Romantic Attraction …
The natural experience for both, Men and Women.
The loss of inhibitions; with enthusiasm, to lower one’s boundaries. The passionate union of consenting adults; freeing oneself to completely experience the tender touch of someone you fully trust.
Love…
That blossoms into Kinship.
Intimacy…
In truth compels one to become vulnerable; exposed within the presence of another.
The reality is, for many individuals, the awareness of this concept can be extremely terrifying; holding the person back from the true expression of one’s individuality and character.
In essence…
The experience of affection and love molds the individual from infancy, through adolescence.
With the increasing development for the understanding of the intimate relationship; going onward with expansion deep into adulthood.
The actuality of the nurturing presence of Family-Love fostering in our Emotional-Wellbeing cannot be dismissed.
Those presented with the trusting, confident experience of close Family care and affection undergo fewer difficulties with emotional wellbeing, as they continue on in age.
An observational study conducted at Harvard presented findings that supported the positive link between the nurturing family environments and the vaster relationship-security concerning respect and devotion to spouses more than 60-years following.
Moreover, this implies the degree to which in midlife companions, have the greater ability to rely upon genuinely un-impaired emotional management.
Drawing your attention towards…
The investigated conclusions for Stress-Exposure to the Prefrontal Cortex, the most developed Brain-Region; serving our highest-order cognitive abilities. Regulating our thoughts, Judgment, therefore actions, and emotional control.
Stress…
defined as emotional apprehension or mental burden, is far too familiar of a feeling for many of us; with, at times, unrelenting intensity. The more prolonged stress exposure has the ability to cause fundamental changes in the receiving abilities of the Interneurons within the Prefrontal Cortex. Providing evidence as to why the Stress-Response becomes unrestricted through the Stress-Signaling-Pathways. Leading to serious Prefrontal-Cortex dysfunction, uncontrolled behaviors, and possibly mental illness.
These investigated verdicts highlight how the mindful, caring environments lead to more adaptive behavioral functioning; emotional regularity behaviors that promote our relationship connections versus hindering; throughout adulthood.
Love…
As it occurs within the bonds of the Family, is unlike any other. Our family is those from which we spend the utmost time. That time spent brings the greatest purpose to one’s life if recognized.
Unfortunately, we have no power over the Family that we are born into.
Clearly, just the same as the nurturing, supportive Family one may be forced to endure the lowered values associated with neglect, or even worse, cruel and abusive.
These situations have the ability to leave long-lasting Wounds.
Causing intense feelings that one may face for many years, or possibly throughout one’s lifetime.
This may include…
- Trust-Issues…
- Communication-Awkwardness…
- Low-Self-esteem…
- Depression…
- Anxiety…
- Intimacy-Issues…
- Anger-Management Issues…
The recurrent belief is, that when one ventures out, leaving their childhood home or their neglectful relationship, they also leave behind those difficulties.
However…
Communication patterns developed, possibly critically, limit the ability to express individual needs. Feelings and one’s desires remain hidden. Discouraging the individual from the effort to overcome the now newer, comparable problems.
There is considerable importance in the realization that within personal relationships feelings and desires are the natural motivations; causing our participation or the lack thereof. Therefore, when these motivations are not taken seriously, the lack of fulfillment becomes significantly worse.
Struggles with the trust set in; with the ultimate relationship-comedown emergence.
We all have a tendency to continue on in our subjective roles; influenced by our own personal beliefs. Brought about by where our Confidence lies, along with, any of our Insecurities, and Fears.
Our Biological Defense-Mechanism…
Meaning…
Patterns of feelings, thoughts, as well as, behaviors that are relatively involuntary, stemming from ideas of conflict; described first by Sigmund Freud, the Father of Psychoanalysis.
These Defense-Mechanisms involve unique Mental-Operations that go onward to alter our perceptions of all of the following…
- Subject… One’s self
- Object… Other Person
- Perception of the Problem Involved
- Behaviors\Emotional Control
These involuntary Biological Defense Mechanisms are said best to
“Dampen Awareness”
In relation to our True Emotional Desires; driving one into a perpetual state of disharmony and self-protection.
Generally, we all have an idea of our own personal intolerances.
Once daily schedules, finances, children, and one’s own energy-levels interfere with these personal limits, struggles with behavioral control emerge.
The situations that “Stress Our Limits” are very different in our modern day. Taking into consideration the fact that the “Stress-Response” evolved biologically to bring about specific Physiological and Psychological changes that enhance the body’s ability to handle a physical threat. Situations that should not be taking place within the Secured-Family-Home-Life.
Emotional-Love helps to create confidence, which aids in positive emotions, rather than just a positive-outlook. Positive-Emotions, in reality, is the protective assurance from the Feelings of Disharmony.
The recent Psychological-Research published in the Journal “ Emotion” has confirmed that the larger levels of Positive Emotions involved in One’s circumstances increase their Well-Being.
Advising as well, that positive emotions boost our abilities for the following examples…
- Personal-Confidence
- Creative-Thinking…
- Social-Connections with Others…
- Emotional-Resilience During Stressful Circumstances…
- Better Physical Health…
- Anger Management…
Showing that these greater levels of Positive-Emotions are of supreme significance for Human Flourishment.
