Before the last three years of my healing journey, stages in relationships was a “unknown unknown” concept. Having a framework for what stage my relationships are in, what level of closeness (more on Instagram November 8, 2024) makes sense, and how to move through inevitable conflict has been an empowering way for me to approach connections both new and old. My goal is to enrich all of the areas of my life and my relationships, while continuing to grow and learn right along with my clients. We’re all navigating these ebbs and flows together. There is definitely an art to building and co-creating a life that truly serves us, especially as things ebb and flow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655010865682c44cd863a546/0468a17d-003d-4860-ae53-73b4b0757b17/Common+Timelines+for+Exclusivity+copy.png Resilient Roots Blog - Tools for Navigating Dating and Friendships with Clarity and Empowerment - Make it stand out If you know your attachment style, does the timeline above match up to your experiences? If you’re curious to learn more about your attachment style, check out this blog post for an introduction! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655010865682c44cd863a546/5560127b-e967-49a0-ba4c-aa00136ea6d3/Navigate_Red+Flags+v.s+Green.png Resilient Roots Blog - Tools for Navigating Dating and Friendships with Clarity and Empowerment - Make it stand out For me, emotional safety is both a green flag and an essential need, while a lack of it is a non-negotiable red flag. In new connections, I look for signs that people are open to introspection, can embrace deep relaxation, and show healthy vulnerability. I also love when people recommend books or resources that have helped them on their own healing journeys. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655010865682c44cd863a546/7a0f2cc5-2426-4f49-a57a-b07925feaca0/Navigate_Standards+Non+Nego+Prefs.png Resilient Roots Blog - Tools for Navigating Dating and Friendships with Clarity and Empowerment - Make it stand out Here are a few examples of questions that can help with vetting for emotional safety when meeting new people: 1. Handling Uncomfortable Situations Casual Version: “So, when life throws you curveballs, do you have a go-to way to handle it?” Context: This could come up naturally if someone mentions a tough day or tricky situation. It gives insight into whether they have a reflective approach without feeling too deep. 2. Definition of Emotional Safety Casual Version: “What makes you feel comfortable and relaxed around people?” Context: This is great to bring up when you’re talking about shared activities, comfort zones, or preferences. It keeps it light while giving clues about how they see emotional safety without directly naming it. 3. Conflict Resolution Style Casual Version: “When little disagreements come up, do you prefer to talk it out right away or take a step back?” Context: If the topic of relationships or friendships comes up, this question sounds easygoing but still uncovers how they prefer to handle conflict, giving you insight into their style in a less intense way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655010865682c44cd863a546/261b76ab-51e3-4f12-abc0-ec69b4544646/Navigate_Red+Flag+Communication.png Resilient Roots Blog - Tools for Navigating Dating and Friendships with Clarity and Empowerment - Make it stand out To identify what feels off or understand what’s bothering you, try writing it down in a journal (Check out Mind Jardin’s journaling prompt for more inspiration). Making journaling a daily or even weekly habit can help you connect with yourself, so you know what’s coming up for you in real time. This awareness lets you make choices that feel best for you in the moment—even if they’re different from what you’d normally do. If making different choices still feels challenging, that’s okay. Be gentle with yourself as you learn and grow; creating lasting change takes time and subconscious reprogramming. Just as a baby learns to walk by crawling, stumbling, and getting back up, we build resilience by approaching change with a beginner’s mindset. An app like How We Feel can also be helpful for checking in with your emotions in any given moment—both the easy ones and the more challenging ones. Remember, emotions are valuable feedback for unmet needs and painful beliefs; they’re here to guide and serve you! Sitting with your emotions can show you they’re safe to experience, building positive associations in your subconscious mind to enhance your healing journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655010865682c44cd863a546/34648017-186d-41f0-b76e-230248cfdc90/Red+Flags+Flow+Chart_Universe+1+of+2.png Resilient Roots Blog - Tools for Navigating Dating and Friendships with Clarity and Empowerment - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655010865682c44cd863a546/d77e3319-f53d-477a-a307-91537cf8635e/Red+Flags+Flow+Chart_Universe+2+of+2+copy.png Resilient Roots Blog - Tools for Navigating Dating and Friendships with Clarity and Empowerment - Make it stand out When preparing for a conversation around a red flag, make sure you’re emotionally regulated by first processing your feelings using the Thought Upgrading Tool below and a brief meditation. Try to communicate positively, offering solutions with collaborative language. It can also help to get into a mindset where you’re speaking from the heart, with care and empathy for both yourself and the other person https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655010865682c44cd863a546/73e0401d-e155-46cd-a24c-b09d6a4f7491/Emotional+Processing+Tool_Navigate_Universe.png Resilient Roots Blog - Tools for Navigating Dating and Friendships with Clarity and Empowerment - Make it stand out The Thought Upgrading & Emotional Processing tool is a powerful resource for daily use, helping you work through any emotional challenges, big or small. By questioning limiting beliefs and finding evidence for a more balanced view, we gain perspective that empowers us to make decisions that serve us and those we care about. This tool guides you through essential skills: recognizing and naming your feelings, questioning interpretations, discovering balanced perspectives, identifying your needs, and creating actionable strategies to meet those needs.
