Latest / The Road Doc Podcast / The Role of Family in Shaping Our Future Relationships
Transcript
- 0:00Have you ever wondered why you react the way you do in
- 0:03relationships? Why some people fear amendment
- 0:07while others avoid getting too close?
- 0:11What if I told you most of it didn't start with your partner,
- 0:15but it actually started at your home?
- 0:20Let's deep dive into it, shall we?
- 0:28Hey guys, welcome back to the Road Duck broadcast.
- 0:32Today we are getting into something very real, something
- 0:35most people don't even realize is controlling their lives in
- 0:40general, the role of family shaping or future relationships.
- 0:45Not in a blaming way, but in a very understanding way because
- 0:50once you see it, then you really can't Unsee it anymore.
- 0:54So like I said from the beginning of this family
- 0:59dynamics season, I am always trying to tell you that we are
- 1:06not trying to blame anyone, rather we are trying to
- 1:09understand on the most parts. Because like everyone is going
- 1:15through something and everyone has their own opinions and
- 1:19perspectives towards life based on their own experience and
- 1:23stuff. So The thing is we are not
- 1:25trying to blame anyone, we are just trying to understand in a
- 1:30360 degree kind of a way and analyze and move forward in a
- 1:36best possible scenario possible, right?
- 1:42Let's deep dive into it with no further deal, right?
- 1:48Let's just say your first relationship was your actually
- 1:52your family. Right before you ever loved
- 1:55someone, or before you ever got heartbroken, you learned
- 2:00everything about connection from your own family, how love is
- 2:06expressed, how conflict is handled, whether emotions are
- 2:10safe or ignored. If you grew up in a calm
- 2:14environment, you probably see relationships as safe.
- 2:19If you grew up in chaos, your nervous system naturally might
- 2:24think chaos is normal. These things.
- 2:31Yeah. And moving on to the next
- 2:37patterns we carry without realizing, right.
- 2:41This is where it gets very interesting, actually.
- 2:45A lot of us, we were thinking making that we are making
- 2:48independent choices into relationships, but in reality we
- 2:52are just repeating the patterns. If you carefully observe that
- 2:57about your own self, you are just going to repeat whatever
- 3:03you already learnt. Yeah, like some people choose
- 3:08emotionally unavailable people and they are happy with it.
- 3:15Now if you see in public like there are lots of people who
- 3:19specifically end up with non emotional people and also like
- 3:25toxic people in general, they have a tendency to over giving
- 3:33to feel valued or in general trying to avoid vulnerability
- 3:38kind of a thing. Not because they want to suffer,
- 3:43but because I think for them it almost feels like it's very,
- 3:47very familiar thing. That's the thing, they they get
- 3:51that from their own family members and not knowing that it
- 3:57may may not be the normal one. Yeah, most people are very much
- 4:00confused too, that if you don't observe outside world that much,
- 4:06then you might think up or ended up with whatever you know is
- 4:11everything. And that's the only thing that
- 4:15actually actually there in the world.
- 4:18So kind of a thing. You get my point, right?
- 4:21So that's why it's very much necessary to understand so many
- 4:27things out of your comfort zone. And the moment you try things
- 4:33out, then you understand there are so many things that do exist
- 4:39outside of what you actually know.
- 4:43And that's why we see this kind of people a lot in general.
- 4:46Like these people specifically go will find out toxic,
- 4:55whatever, not crazy kind of non emotional people which can
- 5:01affect their whole life for mental health.
- 5:03And they even get married to that person and they will stay
- 5:08in that marriage. They will suffer all these
- 5:11things, thinking that that other person might change and so on
- 5:14and so forth. Yeah, these things they like.
- 5:18I mean, for them that just sounds normal based on their
- 5:24experience. We are not going to blame them
- 5:26again. But we are trying to understand
- 5:28that is why some people deliberately only attract
- 5:33emotionally available people, those who have boundaries and so
- 5:41on and so forth. So yeah, these are we
- 5:45subconsciously carry these things without us realizing we
- 5:48are carrying it for the most of the time, right?
- 5:54Like I said, it's not about blaming anyone.
- 5:59And that's the most important thing we have to keep in mind
- 6:03because like I said before, this is not that we are trying to
- 6:08blame any parents nor your family members or vice versa.
- 6:14We are just they are also operating from their own
- 6:19conditioning too. Because your parents are the way
- 6:23they are because of their parents or their experiences
- 6:28that they had or things they went through or the trauma they
- 6:32went through and so on and so forth.
- 6:35So whole point of going through all these episodes is to
- 6:44understand in a deeper sense not to blame anyone nor to get like
- 6:52yay I am right, yay your parent is wrong.
- 7:00That's not the whole theme of this season at all.
- 7:04The whole theme of is this thing is to understand both ways in a
- 7:13much much deeper sense. Because understanding this gives
- 7:21you more power because you stop asking why this is happening to
- 7:25me and you can simply start asking like what pattern I am
- 7:30repeating and what patterns I can stop.
- 7:34That pattern should end. This is not a good pattern or
- 7:38this is not a good thing. So that you will realize and you
- 7:42at least take proactive thing and you stop doing it.
- 7:50That's the important thing. Moving on.
- 7:55Basically this is breaking the cycle in general.
- 8:00Like the first step how you can break this cycle is very simple.
- 8:06Number one is awareness. Awareness is the step one.
- 8:12But what next? You have to start observing your
- 8:17triggers. Basically means every person on
- 8:21this planet have certain certain triggers based on that happens
- 8:25through their life experience and so on and so forth.
- 8:30Again, we are not trying to blame here, we are trying to
- 8:33break the cycles without hurting anybody as much as possible.
- 8:40So the moment you start observing your triggers and
- 8:44start noticing your reactions in such relationships, ask
- 8:49yourself, is this coming from my present or is this coming from
- 8:53my past experiences that I had with my family and that is
- 8:57shaping in and then the pattern is just repeating into my
- 9:03current relationships, right. So you have to get that analogy,
- 9:11you have to at least self aware. I mean, all these things are
- 9:15very much self-explanatory kind of a things to be honest.
- 9:21But acknowledging them that they exist is the primary thing that
- 9:27we all miss in general. So that the moment you notice
- 9:33you have like certain certain bad patterns in you or certain
- 9:41what you call certain negative things and stuff like that.
- 9:45And you have to be so much aware that you should come to a
- 9:51conclusion that enough is enough.
- 9:54Looks like my family or I had the thing with my family has
- 9:58this sort of negative cycle or negative pattern that I am
- 10:02carrying. And I have to stop that.
- 10:04I have to end that right away. And you can do that in a very,
- 10:09very healthiest way, right? Let's just dive into building
- 10:17healthier relationships, how we can do it.
- 10:20When you understand the patterns, right?
- 10:23The moment you understand those small, small little kind of
- 10:27patterns, now everything changes.
- 10:31You literally gonna stop chasing, you stop tolerating
- 10:36what drinks you. You start choosing what aligns
- 10:40with your peace in general. And that is when any
- 10:45relationship or that becomes less about survival and it will
- 10:51become or it will turn more into like a connection kind of a
- 10:54thing that copes with your family.
- 10:56True. And definitely you can do that.
- 10:59It is 100% possible. But like I said, you need to
- 11:06have much, much awareness about that and you need to analyze
- 11:11those patterns and you need to proactively stop it in those
- 11:18given situations. And slowly you become the
- 11:21different from your family. That's, I mean, there are good
- 11:27things about them. There are bad things about them
- 11:29because we are end of the day, we are human beings.
- 11:32We navigate through life based on our experiences, situations,
- 11:38this, that and so on and so forth.
- 11:40But the moment you switch from survival to more about
- 11:46connection, then things will change just like that.
- 11:50So yeah, that's that's my take on that.
- 11:55And like I said, people, this is not about blaming anyone.
- 12:04This is trying to understand your family as well as you in
- 12:09general and trying to analyze it and coming to a common ground
- 12:18for your own Peace of Mind. That's the whole purpose.
- 12:22Since this is the last episode of the season, I just wanna
- 12:27double, triple, make sure that you get the right message.
- 12:31This is not about hating anyone nor over exaggerating or over
- 12:36blaming one side or another, either parents or children.
- 12:40We are not doing that. All we are trying to do is we
- 12:44are noticing most common patterns and then breaking the
- 12:49cycles. That's the whole theme of this.
- 12:55So I hope you are getting the message very clear, right.
- 13:00Yeah. At the end of the day, your past
- 13:03may shape you, but it doesn't have to define you if it is
- 13:07toxic or if it is bad or so you. Basically what I'm trying to
- 13:12tell is you have the power to rewrite your story and you can
- 13:17do that. It is very much possible because
- 13:20I have seen so many people, they rewrite the story.
- 13:24And for instance, you can take me as an example too.
- 13:27Once Upon a time I did not start this thing and now I am doing
- 13:32it. I am basically rewriting my own
- 13:35story for greater rule. I'm just saying that it is
- 13:42possible, but it will take time. It will take a lot of patience,
- 13:47takes lot of efforts and so on and so forth.
- 13:50But slowly you will understand and you can come out of
- 13:54anything. And I am just using me as a
- 13:58metaphor here. Don't take I have all these
- 14:00problems, but all I am trying to say is whatever The thing is
- 14:07with your family or thing, you either come to a common ground
- 14:12or you either accept as it is and take necessary precautions
- 14:16or necessary things to break the patterns of cycles or you stop
- 14:23that from going forward to the future generations.
- 14:28That's all you can be the cycle breaker.
- 14:31That's the thing I'm trying to say.
- 14:33I hope you will get a great value from this episode.
