I'm sorry; I apologize; it was my fault. not Yours. When the Creator asks us what happened to us, I'll tell the truth about my own culpability. I won't allow You to take the fall alone just because You're a Paranormal Person. I'll defend You and I hope You'll defend me, too. I Love You.

    Learn the difference between Need and Want. Need has to do with survival- roof, food, water. Wants are almost everything else. Unless it compromises your life and health in some way, it's not a Need. I've had to make do for some time living off govt aid. It doesn't mean I don't think I deserve to have money, a good paying job, nice things, but there are many people that exist without. LOA preaches using gratitude and assumption to have the extra wants met, if you think you prefer to have a certain lifestyle. But it is not necessary to suffer out of envy or perceived lack, by comparing yourself to people with more of their wants fulfilled. If you have food, clothes, and shelter, find contentment in the present while awaiting a change in the situation

And besides that, I think emotional connection is also a Need...a need that the self love spiritual community ignores it and refer to "everything you need is within you" while we really need true authentic connection with other people.

Sure sure you can get your other needs met too but only by being a slave. Is being a slave for needs a divine providence? Or is it a diabolical providence rather? Spirituality is a cancer it's the same idiotic copium as religion.

    Right? Thank you so much for this comment. I also have an issue with CBT, in many cases it's just gaslighting the people in treatment out of their very valid needs and serious issues that cannot be resolved by the patients on their own by just talking to the therapist, thinking about the problem or wrting down things into neat little notes. Sometimes people struggle with health issues, financial ruin and abusive situations without the resources to resolve things on their own or get away, but it still doesn't mean that they need to accept the current situation and think differently about it. It means that people sometimes need active tangible support from others and that it's ok to require social support, we are social creatures after all. Social isolation is also a serious issue and our need for connection is not some immature neediness or self-victimisation, it's a valid need that has to be addressed practically, not just mentally and not with one-sided responsibility.

Altho CBT has helped me overcome so much this is my current hurdle mostly do to my mental health education mixed with the level of disrespect and disheartening experiences I have been exposed to. It’s a delicate balancing act bc I don’t want to go off the deep end and I can’t afford a lawyer. The most logical thing has been to just keep focusing on what ever seems to keep my feet up under me at this point and since no one close to me is on any kind of healing journey or at all willing to take any personal accountability I have to just kinda keep pushing forward or make myself really small and live in a state of fawning to keep the peace which isn’t logical. I might not be able to completely take a stand yet but I am learning to keep my boundaries in place and alchemize the negative energies being sent my direction regularly.

    @@bludesertfairy3370 It sounds like you're going through a lot and you're very determined to keep going. It's great that you were able to benefit from CBT, unfortunately it's just a short term solution that can only bring you so far. It doesn't help much when situations are too complex, entangled with other people's issues who impact your life negatively and you don't have the resources to get out of abusive situations or to tackle legal matters. I think it's a good tool for people who have a lot of options and want to figure out which way would be best for them, but it's not good to deal with complex trauma, deep shame and very limited financial and social opportunities. It's heartbreaking to hear that you have to make yourself small and fawn over people who are a threat within your living space, but at least you know it's only temporary and you're working on a plan to change the situation. I wish you all the luck you can get to change your situation for the better and create a safe environment to fulfill your needs!

I had a connection like that with my mother and my terrible stepfather and being surrounded by spiritual bypassers that make everything my responsibility. I feel responsible for so much and have hyper-independent traits because no one in my reality takes ownership of their own stuff. I’m drowning and in a very dark place mentally. And I get treated like it is all my fault. Life is one big gaslight for me and I’m ready to just leave. Update: I was having a very VERY bad time in life when I wrote this. I am doing much better but life can be extraordinarily painful sometimes. I felt hopeless when I wrote this. I am okay now and I am feeling a whole lot better. Life is still challenging at times but I am determined. Some days do still get the best of me though.

    Interesting that you would mention this under this exact video. Growing up i unfortunately had to grow up with neighbors similar to the ones you are discribing. As a young teenager I did everything I could to “reframe” this sad reality because I couldn’t just move away and I had to find a way to endure it. Honestly I don’t blame my younger self for trying to change my thoughts but really what I needed was to move out and get away from toxic people. Some people are just born troublemakers and will never change and you need to understand this. Probably moving away is the only thing that is advisable in your situation. I have had to spend many years as a young adult trying To come to terms that “reframing” can be abused in such a way when really what I really would have needed was either a restraining order from a judge or for my parents to move us away. Sometimes it is the outer reality that needs changing not the inner reality. Telling you anything else would be cynical and holding you captive. If the situation doesn’t improve get a restraining order or move out. Best of luck!

    Sounds like re-framing is a very bad idea as a whole, better to just be honest with yourself and about your life's circumstances, & seek to change what needs to change by coming up with a plan to get out of the difficulties you face. Like getting out of debt for example, you seek wisdom about finances, create a plan and stick to the plan over the long term in order to achieve your goal. Along the way you may have to face the reasons you like to overspend and learn to become a more frugal person. Seems like re-framing is touted as a quick fix, but quick fixes are never any good for the long haul. Thanks Teal for sharing your insight on this subject!

Ironically, this would’ve been an opportunity for you to understand my POV before you felt the need to criticize me personally. It sounds like you’re the one who could use some self awareness. First of all, where did you even get the idea that negative thoughts, which for some ppl can be distressing and intrusive and does warrant counseling, can impede someone … from understanding another person’s perspective ?? Negative thoughts alone are kind of broad, you would actually have to look at the nature of those thoughts to determine the personality. You seem to be drawing this conclusion that ppl who suffer with negative thoughts are too wrapped up in their own perspective to understand other ppl outside of themself which is a perspective that lacks compassion in and of itself. “You’re essentially saying that you can’t change your perspective unless you’re dealing with negative thoughts or dealing with a troubling situation” ????? No ????? I’m talking specifically about “reframing” which is a little different than trying to understand someone’s point of view. If you watched this video, you would understand “Reframing” is a therapized technique that allows you to put a positive spin on a negative situation or belief. And some times this actually can be helpful. But Teal also gave examples that demonstrated where it’s not as effective.

    Teal, I friggin love your videos been a huge fan for almost 7 years. These videos get me so angry, I can relate to my core and it shakes up what I think I am doing to get better. I went from a homeless IV drug user of heroin and meth to a student in college who has full custody of her son. That is a huge jump in timelines, I feel like denial has been my worst enemy but I don't know how not to do it. I have learned to do it with a time limit. I allow myself x amount of days to freak out, check out and "avoid" but that doesn't help me. I find out about my health problems and I read more books, change my diet and exercise. I am in a shitty abusive relationship and I leave and accept the idea of being alone. At some point I need to be at love and peace with my shadow, in every way my shadow kept me alive in the dark. I am all of these things and as a completely broke and unhappy person I pray that I am doing all I can to give my son a better future. I want to be the example that change in life is possible but I promise you I do not feel the progress I have made. I still look in the mirror and see a junkie. I don't know another way but to "reframe" that I am not a homeless drug addict anymore when it has always been the core of who I am. I hope that makes sense. I love you so much thank you so much. You are so powerful.

This created a big conflict inside me, which resulted in severe depression later. Even when my exhusband was treating me badly, my therapist used to reframe the facts i was saying in such a way it's never his fault, it's all in my head. Reframing is one of the worst tools used to keep an abused person trapped, confused & unable to get out of their misrable state.

    hey teal! this isent related to the video but i hope you get the chance to read this. You helped pull me out of and recover from an eating disorder of 6 years and struggles with suicide and depression for at least 5 years. today i have achieved and created finally a life i wish to live, and can experience freedom with food whilst still being in a body that i accept and want to be in. I no longer have issues with food anymore, and actually feel some enthusiasm for life. Ive tried so many things in the past, and nothing worked until i finally let go and went into the pain. i spent months in the darkness, but it finally led me to the light. thank you again teal. you are the brightest gem there is

    Awesome. So many new age therapist need to hear this. Lack of attunement is also spot on. Going through trauma it´s sometimes needed to live in a constant refraiming. I just saw that I´ve certainly done that for the years I was in it while feeling powerless over a circumstance as part of mt survival mechanism.

    This is why it is always important to separate the unwanted behavior from the positive intention when reframing and making a sound ecology-check. If a smoker wants to stop smoking, we can notice that it's not the smoking (unwanted behavior) the client essentially wants, it's the reduces stress from smoking (positive intention). In this way we can find new, better and more holistic behavior that is aligned with one's identity, values and environment.. and the positive intention of reducing stress! If you just reframe smoking into something positive, you will reinforce the smoking. This is not giving the client many options, resources and choices. Your video also implies some deeply interesting presuppositions about epistemology, linguistics and metaphysics. Amazing. Thanks Teal!

    This is what I experienced all the time years ago when I was among "spiritual" people. I saw a lot of people accepting horrible behavior, in the name of learning or facing demons. Also open relationship stuff. But just in general always putting it back on you when in fact some behavior happened that wasn't good, or wounding.

    Great video. This is something I have always struggled with, in the area of friendships and relationships. I try to reframe/gaslight myself out of unpleasant or "unloving/uncaring" feelings that are actually a legitimate response to certain words/behaviours. Not helped by important people in my life telling me that maybe it's a childhood trauma response, maybe I could work through it by being more spiritually enlightened, maybe it's my monthly hormones, maybe I'm "just nuts". Therapy has helped me to see that my feelings are a direct response to situations.

    At the start of the video and Teal Swan has once again got to the core it. I too used reframing in an unhealthy way and this led to me staying in bad situations/relations/experiences longer than necessary. Like anything, it is in the application of the knowledge, tool, and so on that determines a healthy or unhealthy outcome.

    I have felt it when a therapist says responds to me speaking about a deep trauma like "Well if you choose to go with the gratefulness in the situation". As if I was holding on to something neagtive. I feel like I need someone to witness the pain not bypassing it.

    this also gets me because you might be working on being grateful all day every day, only to be told the reason you feel pain from a trauma is lack of gratitude. when you do not lack gratitude you are working on it all day every day. in countries where there is war idk if people are sitting around telling each other to be so grateful for the opportunity to grow that war has offered them. instead they are witnessing and mirroring each other's real struggles and real emotions from the war and letting people get it out THEN having a dance party.

    ThankU hmm Watching this leads me to think reframing is not something I use. Denial i am familiar, and am finding it wrenching to remove denial. I was taken by your words on gaslighting, conscious vs unconscious. You asserted that we can never be sure of what's true. Are we then perpetually in doubt. Reality is quicksand. I noticed good scientists always say: More research must be done
