Love…
As an INFJ who also holds an abandonment core belief, love has been a profoundly deep feeling for me throughout my entire life, sometimes wonderful and sometimes not so much.
I fall in love with people who show me kindness, and I fall fast. It’s strange, but that’s just who I am.
It’s a constant journey of inner work. Since being introduced to schema therapy, I’ve pinpointed seven schemas and learned to identify, challenge, and refrain from reacting when they are triggered. Don’t get me wrong..I still get triggered from time to time. However, I’ve done the shadow work, and now I can recognize when my unconscious mind is driving my conscious mind.
Being an INFJ means I feel all of this even more deeply..all the emotions.
Even though I have some maladaptive schemas, I wouldn’t change a thing. They have made me the person I am now..insightful, caring, respectful, kind, and compassionate. At my core, my nature is love, and I want to share this infinite love with people who don’t have it.
Thank you for being part of my journey. ♥️
