About this listen
What do you tell yourself when you need motivation? Are you using negativity to motivate yourself? It' not that uncommon. I have seen many clients who belittle themselves and beat themselves up into doing something. As a way to motivate themselves. Some parents use negative motivation. For example, they call a kid lazy in the hope to motivate them to exercise or take away a privilege, like not going on a short. Nothing wrong with negative motivation until you turn it into EMOTIONAL dumping. I specialize in helping clients recover from the effects of toxic stress that they developed in childhood or youth due to childhood maltreatment and emotional neglect. I support the development of emotional literacy later in life. I believe emotional learning is available to all of us. But we need to make ourselves available for this learning. https://www.tanyatchirkova.com.au/
