A Season of Solitude with Imani Tutt
In an episode of personal storytelling, Imani and I disclose the cognitive dissonance we both faced during our Master’s programs in Psychology; Studying attachment trauma while simultaneously being in toxic relationships.
From a place of intimate experience and resonance Imani shares why people stay in toxic relationships, the power and clarity available to you in a season of solitude, and how to let pain transform you.
Imani directs us back to childhood as the starting point, teaches us the core issues anxious attachers struggle with, and the antidote to shame.
She redefines love for us, and invites us to stretch into the acceptance that someone can deeply love you and hurt you in moments, but the repair needs to have more bandwidth than that hurt.
To expand a relational container, it will require you to find the edge of service, sacrifice, and how to walk back from Self abandonment.
In this Episode you’ll learn about:
- Healing anxious attachment
- How to surrender control and receive instead
- Why you stay in toxic relationships
- Why humility is the antidote to shame
- Why seasons of solitude deeply serve you
- The difference between sacrifice and Self abandonment
- Releasing the fear of being alone
- How to offer corrective experiences in relationship
- Integrating into relationship after a season of solitude
