A VERSION OF YOU

A version of you called the “adaptive-self”learned to stay safe by becoming whatever the people and/or environment required of you. 

If you grew up in unpredictability, your adaptive-self learned to minimize your needs. 

If you grew up around volatility, your adaptive-self learned to anticipate shifts before they happened. 

If you grew up with emotional distance, your adaptive-self learned to pretend it didn’t need closeness. 

If you grew up with criticism, your adaptive-self learned to perform perfection. 

If you grew up with inconsistency, your adaptive-self learned to be quiet, small and cautious. 

These self-adaptations were not wrong or weak, they were coming from your Inner Intelligent Authority.

This Intelligent Authority, which is You, opened an emotional ‘line-of-credit’ on your behalf (when you were a child) until such time that you were able to remember that you no longer need demanding environments that require something of you that you cannot honestly give.

You don’t need that old ‘line-of-credit’ that keeps you drawing from it to give to an environment that is actually now indebted to you.

This Intelligent version of You is here on your behalf to forgive your debt. It’s all been paid in full. You owe nothing.

All past emotional debt, along with all compounded interest, has been forgiven.  

It’s just that easy. You are Free.
