Self-Consciousness and Relationships

June 4, 2021

We have a wonderful interview coming up on our podcast Rewilding Love  with Lila Turner on Monday June 7th called Rewilding Dating. In the interview, Lila shares so eloquently about how we can think we are relaxed and being ourselves when we actually aren’t. This happens often in the dating process, but can come up anytime. Self-consciousness is a normal part of the human condition. 

Knowing that who we are is enough no matter how we feel in the moment is liberating. And understanding that if we happen to be feeling self-conscious, it doesn’t mean anything about our self-worth is freeing too. It is a normal experience that will come and go. There is no need for shame or fixing ourselves. 

Simply having the realization that we are feeling self-conscious is enough to help us get some perspective and start to get ungripped from our self-conscious thoughts. We are designed to self-regulate and come into balance. We hope this helps you to remember that who you are is absolutely okay no matter what you are feeling. You are love!

If you would like to listen to the Rewilding Love Podcast, it comes out in serial format. Start with Episode 1 for context. Click here to listen. And, if you would like to dive deeper into the understanding I share along with additional support please check out the Rewilding Community.

Angus & Rohini Ross are “The Rewilders.” Listen to their podcast Rewilding Love. They believe too many good relationships fall apart because couples give up thinking their relationship problems can’t be solved. Many couples don’t know how to navigate low moods, conflict, and emotional reactivity. In this season of the Rewilding Love Podcast, Rohini and Angus help a couple on the brink of divorce due to conflict. Angus and Rohini love working with couples and helping them to reduce conflict and discord in their relationships by pointing them to their innate wisdom and wellbeing. They work with couples who are struggling and couples who would like to deepen the love and intimacy they already have. They co-facilitate private couples' intensives that rewild relationships back to their natural state of love.

Rohini is the author of the ebook Marriage, and they are co-founders of The 29-Day Rewilding Experience and The Rewilding Community.
