Headspace Studios Hello, dear Headspace community.
It's Robin and with me today are Rosie and Headspace Mental Health Coach Nika and today we've got some really great questions about how to support someone who who is going through a dark period, but at the same time, making sure they can protect themselves.
And we have a question about what to do when you're afraid you will be left or abandoned in a relationship if you say the wrong thing.
And we have an email from a listener who wanted to share another way to approach putting down your cell phone or other addictive technologies.
Let's get right to it.
Have you ever wished you had a wise meditation teacher on speed dial?
For a therapist you can call after a long day.
Or a mental health coach you can lean on for advice.
Someone to help you see things differently.
Welcome to Dear Headspace, a podcast where I sit down with Headspace experts and we answer your questions.
Well, hello, ladies.
I am so excited to be sitting here with you both today.
I mean, we're excited.
I'm excited. I couldn't tell from that pause, Rosie.
I just felt like a deer in headlights just then, you know?
Welcome to my world.
How are you, Nika? I'm good.
I am excited, Robin and Rosie, everybody.
The rose, the rose and the House.
The Rs and the rose.
Well you two, I have to say that there's something even more exciting than us all being here.
And it's that for the first time, a listener sent us an email, they listened to an episode, and they wanted to offer another way to look at a problem, specifically putting down our cell phones.
So I cannot wait to share that one and to discuss it with you two.
But first, let's take a question from Amanda.
Hi, my name is Amanda, and I had a question about how to navigate supporting a loved one when they are going through very, very dark times and how to take care of yourself and your kids or those around you when it seems like maybe their negative energy is impacting everyone in the house.
Obviously we all wanna be supportive but at certain times it just feels like maybe we as the people who are not suffering should take a break from that negativity to not drag ourselves down?
Thank you, bye. Well thank you for your question, Amanda.
I mean, first off, just sending love and vibes your way, because that sounds like a lot.
And I think all of us who've been in relationships long term, short term were with you on that because it is hard.
I often talk about there's only room for one person to be upset sometimes in a relationship and the other person has to support.
So it's like kind of Amanda's asking around that like how to support how to also take care of yourself And so i'm curious what you two are thinking Yeah, i've definitely been where you are amanda and it could be very very challenging to Help hold space for somebody that you really care about While at the same time caring for yourself and other people in your household especially if the energy can maybe drag you down and maybe drag down the whole vibration of your home.
And one of the things that I find has been, well, I'm thinking about a current situation that I'm dealing with right now with my brother -in -law that is affecting our entire family.
And I think the first thing that was really important and for me was to set boundaries in that situation because we're very sort of intertwined energetically.
I always laugh and say that the three of us meet, his brother, my brother in law and my partner have a very trauma -bonded relationship.
And so it's really important to be able to establish the boundaries and the three of us have to really work on this And I think for us, having this sort of common language on what boundaries mean for us, for example, there are certain topics we don't discuss or certain ways we respond to the other person to alert them that I don't really have the strength right now to be holding all of this, or, does that make sense?
It's like to be able to establish that boundary offering my presence, but at the same time a boundary so that I'm not feeling like I'm gonna get extremely drained and then it starts affecting me and then it's a ripple affect, right?
So I think that establishing those boundaries help encourage not only my own inner strength, but the inner strength of the people that I'm setting the boundaries with, like my partner and my brother -in -law, you know, as harsh as it may seem to them.
I think it just shows them that I have the courage to do that.
It also enables them to have the courage to do it as well.
So it's almost like you're setting the example and also it's a way to give as well I think, right?
It's a way to help someone put their oxygen mask first before they start helping other people.
So that's what would offer Amanda.
It's almost like - it's almost like you know when you sit down with your family or friends and you're about to play a board game and you flip the box over and you're always like here are the rules and everybody's like right to go we go in clockwise order and it's like setting up the communication rules so that if someone says X Y and Z you know that means they need a minute like that it's just something that's really smart about so everyone's playing the same game.
Yeah and I think that one of the things too and I'm curious Niko what you think about this is I used to feel really bad about doing that.
And I could hear it in Amanda's voice too, that there's a little bit of that sort of, she's a little bit reticent about saying anything or perhaps...
Did you feel bad, a person struggling?
You're like, yeah. Yeah, so I'm curious, Niko, what you think about that?
Yeah, that's interesting.
Because that was where my mind went too, is that there was some guilt there for her, right, for this person that I feel guilty because I don't feel like creating space for you all the time.
And I have a lot of friends who I'm supporting who are going through some really heavy things and also know I only have so much to give.
And either I want to feel guilty about it and not ever want to talk to you at all or I'm just going to deal with what I need to deal with, take care of myself and then have the space for you.
So I think one of the things for the color is to, to, to not feel guilty about needing that space.
And if it's dark, it's dark, like that's what it, that's where we are right now.
That's what it is, but I can't feel guilty in that moment.
And I do love the thought of boundaries and creating them and really set an example because it can be hard to when you're when people are in dark times or in a dark place to set boundaries or to have rules of engagement.
It can be difficult because often you usually it is something that's never happened before, right?
Like what are we doing?
I don't know how to do this thing.
So when someone steps up and says, hey, this is what I think we should do, right?
Or we get each other's input and create a space for one another, right?
In that box versus I'm over here by myself trying to figure it out.
You figure that out over there by yourself.
because it's going, it's getting on everybody.
And so we gotta create, I think Robin said, a language to figure out how we get through this thing, but if you are sitting in too much guilt, that can be difficult.
So I would certainly say when you are feeling guilty, if that's coming up for you, realize this is normal, you're okay, right?
This makes sense for you to feel that way.
However, because you still have to be in relationship with this person and your family member and everybody else, how do we walk through this together as best we can, and it is not going to be perfect.
There is no perfect solution in these times.
Well, and I also think it's okay to say to your partner, like, you know, you've been drinking all the water that's coming into the house and I'm thirsty too.
So if it does start to really like tip the scales where you are always in the caretaker role and the other person is always the one taking up the space because they're sad or depressed or whatever.
It's not making that person wrong, but it is merely saying like, I need some balance so that I'm cared for as well.
So I would say to Amanda, are you all in conversations about that?
I remember when my daughter, she had this very bad break of her leg.
She was younger and we're all trying to figure out how to get her everywhere and having to get her into the bathroom.
And we were all just pushed to our limit and at some point I was like, Like I, I'm out of, I mean, I want to say I'm out of empathy, but I'm, I'm out of space.
Like I just like, I need you to like give me a minute.
It doesn't mean I'm, I'm not mad at you.
Cause you need all the care right now.
I'm just like, I ran out of extra and you like, I need a little minute to pull it together.
Do you think you could do X, Y, and Z?
Yeah. I think it's the oxygen mask.
Like you have to put that on.
Otherwise, ain't nobody going to be here to get help.
Yeah, everyone's gonna be passed out.
Everyone's passed out.
I'm just like, hey, everybody's done for so, side need a break.
Give me a minute. Yeah, I mean, it goes back to Amanda and are you practicing self -care?
Are you taking care of yourself?
And I love to both Rosie and Nika's point that it is OK.
It is normal and you know, it's OK to support a person but also take care of yourself as well.
And sometimes maybe it's OK to be a little mad about it.
Like I'm very, I'm looking at like the coaches and being like, is that okay?
I said that. Is that okay?
Is that really? Okay.
Like, I think we have to normalize anger, you know?
When it's rightfully placed, like, this is a place where I'm piston.
I gotta do this. I'm piston.
I'm in this situation.
I love you. I want to be a service, but I don't like this right now.
And it does really, maybe you're not even mad at them.
Maybe you're mad at the universe or whoever you believe in.
Whoever's running the show.
Yeah. Like I'm mad.
Like I'm still here.
I still love you. us still do all the things.
I'm having a moment.
Well, Amanda, we are sending all kinds of love and communication vibes your way, and we hope it gets better.
Keep us posted. All right.
Let's go to our next call from Emily.
Dear Headspace, my name is Emily, and I am from Ohio.
Recently just got a three -year -long relationship and I've noticed that I have a very hard time letting go of people.
I was wondering if you could cover the topic of anxious attachment and why even in my friendships I am constantly afraid that I will be left or abandoned if I don't say or do the right things.
Thank you. Thank you so much for your question, Emily.
This is, you know, this is a lot, I think.
There's a lot of us out here who worry what people think and you don't want to lose people and you, you but you want to be able to say what you want to say.
I mean, so what do y 'all think?
You know, it's interesting this came up because I'm doing some of my own attachment work, right, and just kind of from my upbringing, and you know, and I've done lots of work over the years.
And I'm like, I'm still dealing with this, like really?
And so the difficulty in letting go of others or being afraid of, you know, what if they don't want me, what if they don't like me, what if they don't see me?
It really honestly, it's a lot of work to really get to that place of healing, right, to do that, but I think once you begin to not look at your value being about what other people think of you, whether they see you or not, like you learning to value yourself and just kind of, you know, looking at your own self worth is where that work begins.
It can be difficult, right, if you've been doing this for a long time, but it's baby steps.
I love to take baby steps and beginning to journal and beginning to affirm yourself in in whatever way you can while also maybe going into some therapy and really digging deeper because that anxious attachment or just attachments in general, they've guided us all of our lives, right?
They have helped in some ways, right?
They have helped us maybe get through terrible times or through some sort of trauma but they're not really meant to stay, right?
And you're not meant to stay that way.
And so as I have grown into more secure attachment I still have more dismissive attachments and disorganized attachments for my upbringing that happened.
And so they arise and I have to remember all of the work that I've done and working on my own self -worth and just realize like I'm worth it.
I'm here for myself.
Whether someone else is here or not.
But those are things you have to affirm and work through.
And I always say it takes time because it does.
we live in a society where we want everything to be quick and fast and I want to be healed so I can go to my next relationship and go into the next thing.
Truly, right? Like, that's what we want.
Yeah, it's like healing.
Hurry up. Like, why am I still...
Even us, like we're like, okay, why am I still dealing with this?
It's been 40 years or whatever, you know?
It's like I totally agree with what you're saying, Nika.
And I really love that, actually, because I really do believe that cultivating a strong sense of self reduces the fear of others leaving.
And I think that I can absolutely relate to what Emily is saying because I'm the same way, you know, I used to feel like if somebody really sees me, if they really see who I am and they leave me, what does that say about me, right?
So we put so much of our self -worth into people staying and people leaving.
And so when we're able to establish a deep sense of self and connection to ourselves, I think it allows us to feel more whole and more secure.
And it doesn't matter at that point whether somebody goes or stays because you're rooted in your own sense of self.
Now, that doesn't mean it's not going to hurt, right?
I mean, I think that that pain is inevitable, it's a part of life.
And I think that if you're able to share your fears vulnerably with the people that you're with, letting them see your humanity, I think that relationship is built on that honesty.
And I only say in the honestly, because I remember for me, I would always share that I have an anxious attachment.
I'm like, I'm anxiously attached, and it became such a part of my relationship identity that in a way, I felt like saying that would entice people to stay.
I would like think that, oh, if I tell them that I'm an anxious attached person, then they'll stay, because they won't want to hurt me.
And obviously that's not how it would work.
But I really felt like even in that, I had to really take some honest self appraisal and understanding what my motivations were and creating space both for myself and the people I was in relationship with to feel like I could be my whole self, right?
Well, I'm so glad you said that Rosie, Because as you all are talking, like this thing just keeps swirling around in my head about the why, based on what you said, Nika.
I think a lot about like how it shows up for me is I don't want anyone to ever be mad at me.
Like, so I'm always trying to say or do the thing that's like, you could see why I did it.
I wasn't trying to hurt you, you know, it's like I start like, and it shows up like that for me.
So I'm just like, do you need to first understand why you did that?
Because I'm like, I just only recently discovered I did that.
And now I'm like, where the hell did that come from?
For sure, like, well let me say, let me preface this card.
How much time do we have to talk about working on this?
I know, I'm like, damn, I'm like we could, we could get deep into this.
If this was a sitcom it would be like cut, too, 48 hours later.
Um, well I will say this, first of all.
I'm not a expert in attachment theory.
But I will tell you what I know is that most of it comes from our childhoods.
Right? When I think of myself, I, you know, abandonment was my wound, right?
So that's where. So when we talk about why, like Emily would have to go back, like, where is this really coming from?
It's not these friends that you met two years ago, or three years ago, or this three -year relationship.
This is from this inner child, this attachment, this something that did not happen.
Someone did not come through for you.
Someone, you know, dismissed your emotions.
that's where that comes from.
And while you may not see that right now, right, you know, as we're talking about it, like, that's where it comes from.
So for me, like, that's my why, right?
If I look for my relationships, like, if I'm not seen and heard, um, like, that attachment, that anxiety rises up in me.
And not, like, in a work situation or whatever, like, I'm fine with that, but it's those close relationships, those romantic relationships, where I get anxious, if I'm dating someone, you're gonna call me back?
You gonna call me back?
What's going on? What's, you know, do I do something?
You know what I mean?
It's just like a whole thing.
Like a whole - Did I do something wrong?
I literally texted Rosie the other day and was like, where'd she go?
Where'd she go? Yes!
And Rose is like, right here.
Meanwhile, she had texted me back.
I just didn't see it.
No, I'd even. And I'm like, what is going on?
I'm like, I literally have a VIP alert when you email me.
Like you're the first person I want to get back to.
I feel like the anxious attachment, and again, I'm not an expert.
I can tell you how to meditate on it, you know?
But, I feel like we tend to find each other.
Is that right? Yes, and I will say this for Emily, like because of that, there's a narrative they play.
So what she's saying right now, like in every relationship that narrative is playing, even if it's not true, Yeah, yeah that hits hard bomb.
Yeah, it's Well Emily I mean it's like I so I guess it's like we're saying Emily like explore how and why this is there and then give the space for like whether this is true whether this is real and And for sometimes people are gonna go like people are there for a reason or a season.
Yes, right Let's all check back in about six months to see if any of us are doing this.
Shall we? Well, Emily, thank you so much.
We're with you. I mean, again, I think we've shown you you're not alone and we'll all figure this out together in time, reason, season, all of that.
Okay, after the break, we're going to hear from Lonnie who has thoughts on how to put your cell phone down.
Stick around. All right, so for our last question, we're actually doing something a little different.
We've got Lonnie, who sent us an email with another way to look at putting down our cell phone.
So here's the email from Lonnie.
Good morning. I was listening to Dora's talk on phone management this morning.
It's one of several that you've published regarding how to relate to your phones and other similar devices.
It occurs to me that there might be a different way to approach this.
It's not and never has been about the phone.
It really is about what the phone transmits to you.
The reasonable analogy is to think of it as a doorway.
Issues with doorways are never about the door, they're about what comes through the doorway.
With a phone, it isn't about the phone, it's about what it opens up to you.
On the other side of this phone -slash -doorway is a crowd.
people we care about in some way, information we need to make decisions, distractions that we think will make our lives more pleasant, et cetera, all pressing up against that doorway.
Putting the phone in another room, closing the door, turns it all off briefly, but it doesn't manage the crowd.
When you open the door again, the flood resumes, perhaps a little more out of control than when you left it.
May I recommend that you spend a little more time on approaches to managing the crowd behind the door.
Look at each app and ask why.
Evaluate whether the benefit of having that app as an example is worth the cost.
Cultivate other, less out of control doorways.
These are just some thoughts.
I guess my point is that focusing on the phone may not get to the real challenges that our lifestyle and society have imposed on us.
All the best, and thank you, Loni.
I love the perspective, I live that life Lonnie, I live behind that door I mean here's the thing we do need phone management techniques to get people started right just to put the phone down and then from after that then we get to the deeper stuff again the why why is it that I have to be attached to this app why is it that I have to talk to a million people a text or whatever it is don't know in my own personal life i have said like i don't get notifications.
i love i love turning them off love it.
i love like i get weather notifications i need to know if it's going to be cold outside like that's important we need to know.
it is true. but i had to learn that though.
i had to learn to even detach from my television like for years i would you know have to go to bed with my television on and i moved the television out of my room.
i would move the the phone like out of the room until someone told me that I needed to bring it in just in case there was an emergency.
But I move those things out because they were taking up space, right?
Mental space. They were distractions.
They were keeping me from really dealing with the things I needed to deal with or maybe doing the things I should have been doing.
So I'm in full agreement with that, that getting to the root of the issue what's behind the door is important.
But I also, I don't, but the idea of, let's just start where we can start.
So if it's starting by turning the phone off for an hour or just putting it in another room or whatever you need to do, let's start there.
And then we can get to some of those deeper issues or concerns.
I love this as a practice of intention, right?
Nika, I totally agree.
And I'm, my phone clocks in and clocks out.
I don't see it past 6 PM, maybe even earlier, actually like five.
I don't see it. it goes into my office space and oh yeah, I don't look at it again.
And I'm so used to it now that it's, I plug it in and I don't see it again.
And if there's an emergency, I have a partner who does have his phone and people know to reach out to him.
Fortunately, that's never been an issue.
But I think if I'm looking at it from Lonnie's perspective, I think it's really interesting.
I think for me having this very rigid relationship with my phone is really about embracing those moments of discomfort because I find that oftentimes for me and for a lot of people I know, we reach for our phones to avoid uncomfortable feelings or to just - I don't know what you're talking about, Rosie.
Well, it's true, you know?
Like I had this really bad habit of scrolling rolling on social media.
And I could just, I could go on funny.
I have funny reels, I follow a lot of accounts that are just like make me laugh.
And if I'm feeling like I want to laugh, I just go on Instagram and my algorithm knows me so well.
And there's good stuff on there.
I could be on there for a long time, you know?
But I noticed that there was always this impulse, that I would reach for, especially when I was watching a show.
Something would, there would be an ad or a commercial.
It's like, boom, reach for my phone.
It's like, reach for my phone.
Oh, I want to look something up, reach for my phone.
Oh, I want to write that down.
I want to come back.
Oh, what did they say?
I want to check out this podcast." It was just constant, constant, constant impulse reach, and I found that with me being very methodical about not reaching for my phone or not even — that's why I would clock out.
The phone would go away somewhere.
If I want to watch a show or something or YouTube show or something, I don't even have my phone near me.
Once I did that, then all of a sudden my iPad showed up in the living room like, oh, I'll just use iPad!
It's like the phone's clocked out of the iPads there.
But I noticed, I'm like, okay, why can't I just not sit here and watch this?
Oh, because I don't want to forget.
I want to write it down.
I don't want to forget that thing or or to look this up or I got to all of a sudden buy paper towels, you know?
All of those things, it's like just embrace this moment.
It's OK, you don't have to remember everything.
OK, so my thing with with Loni's email is ultimately like he's using the door as an analogy about what's behind the door.
But it feels like you were still saying what we said before, which is like finding the relationship to how to put the thing down.
I mean, is Lonnie suggesting we consider deleting Instagram?
Is Lonnie suggesting 20 -minute breaks?
Like, that's the part where I'm trying to get my head around the nuance of the door analogy.
From what I understand, it's, what is the compulsion that's happening?
Like, what is your, what is the constant reach for relief?
And that's exactly what it is.
we're reaching for a type of relief, we're reaching for a type of connection, we're even maybe reaching for self -soothing.
Yeah. Or purpose. We're reaching for a reason to be.
Or a reason to be in connection.
Right? I mean, we constantly go on Instagram or any social media.
it's called social media.
We're wanting to be social, but it's not a replacement for the actual experience of being social.
And we know that even from a physiological perspective, from a neurological perspective.
We get a very specific type of dopamine hit.
We have all the dopamine, the oxytocin, the serotonin endorphins that we get from being in the presence of another person.
Even seeing their facial expressions, like there is a physiological effect we do not get from a phone.
This is like a paperweight.
This is not your device for purpose and for connection.
It is a tool. This is a tool.
Well, and I just read some article recently about how a bunch of Gen Z -ers are having like relationships like with AI, almost like intimate relationship - Oh, yeah.
Obviously not physically intimate but emotionally intimate relationships with AI, and it makes me think about that, about the thing that's missing is intimacy, and it's being replaced by the technology.
So like I'm thinking what Lonnie means is behind the door.
So it's like I because I think that what we've been saying to date has been perspective about ways to rules You can set up to put on away But without addressing the thing we're all the hole in our hearts that we're trying to fill with a phone Right I think it you know again goes back to a little bit to attachment Earlier like what am I getting from this?
You know and in those moments when you really when let's say you decided that I'm going to you know and put my phone away asking yourself why when you are grabbing it.
What's my why, right, to Rosie's point, what's the purpose?
What is that? Like, this is different.
This is a little bit different, but like, when I'm trying watch what I eat, which you know, at this point is not as easy as it's been.
But, when I'm wanting to grab that cookie or I want a glass of wine or whatever it is, like why?
Why do you need that?
And it's not that I need it, like I don't need the cookie.
I'm gonna survive without eating that cookie, right?
And I'm not even hungry.
Yeah. What are you really hungry for?
Like, what are you really?
Come on, come on. So what am I grabbing this phone for?
What is this need that it's filling for me?
Because it's filling some sort of need, whether it's social, whether it's distraction, whatever it is, it's filling a need, especially if I'm realizing it's become a problem.
Now, if it's not a problem for you, Fine, do your thing, right?
But if you know that this is a problem, then let's dig a bit deeper.
Let's figure that out.
But asking yourself in those moments when you've decided like, what is the reason, what is the purpose?
What is the why? What is this feeling for me?
Then I can do figure out the rest of the stuff, right?
Yeah, well Lani, thank you so much for sending in your thoughts and for me, the questions were great.
That email was great.
I love that our community is so engaged that folks want to take part in the dialogue and share their advice, too.
And that to me is just fantastic.
Yeah, I really enjoyed the questions today.
And I really kept thinking about a meditation in the app that I really enjoy doing.
And I feel like everybody could maybe utilize it in some way the questions that we had today.
Managing anxious moments.
It's a good one. Highly recommend.
Five out of five. Five out of five!
10 out of 10. That's a fantastic suggestion, Rosie.

It is it's just such a helpful offering because it's support anytime from anywhere, which I mean in this 24 -7 world we need that And I also want to say thank you to Amanda and Emily for their questions and also Lonnie for your advice It was really nice to just kind of open that discussion back up and take it just a little bit deeper And if you have a question for us go to say hi chat slash dear headspace You're just going to follow the prompts to record and, as always, that link is in the show notes.
And then, if we do use your question onto your Headspace, you're going to get 3 months of Headspace for free.
Gay. And now we've reached one of my favorite parts of the show.
A moment to pause and to take a breath before diving into whatever comes next.
We've set aside some time for you to unwind and reset.
So here's the gentle sound of a stream flowing through an orchard.
As you listen, allow your mind to do whatever it wants to do.
Until next time, stay happy, stay healthy, and be kind to each other.
Do you have any questions?
