Inevitably, you should protect yourself properly. ⚠️

1.Toxic behavior often reflects inappropriate self-defense 💢 mechanisms such as fault throwing, control.

Or devaluing others is a behavior that reflects the expression.

It's not an impairment of the recipient of that behavior.

2. Not responding to provocation. It terminates the emotional stimulation cycle. It reduces the overfunction of the limbic system.

And prevent emotional dysregulation.

3. Setting boundaries evenly. Place clear lines.

It is preventive mental health care, reducing the risk of chronic stress, depletion and anxiety from Toxic people.

4. Guilt that often results from past relationship learning does not indicate that protecting yourself by retreating from a relationship is wrong behavior.

5. Emotional distancing is the appropriate adaptive mechanism in a context where the person cannot be avoided.

"Good mental health does not come from patience.

It comes from knowing what to take and what to put. "❤️

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ของหลายๆ คนที่ต้องพบเจอคนที่มีพฤติกรรมเป็นพิษหรือ Toxic การเรียนรู้วิธีปกป้องตนเองเป็นสิ่งสำคัญอย่างยิ่ง เพราะไม่ใช่ทุกสถานการณ์หรือความสัมพันธ์ที่เราสามารถเลี่ยงได้ สิ่งที่ชัดเจนคือ พฤติกรรมเช่น การโทษผู้อื่น การควบคุม หรือพยายามลดคุณค่าคนรอบข้างนั้น เป็นเครื่องหมายของการแสดงออกมากกว่าบ่งบอกถึงข้อบกพร่องของผู้ถูกกระทำ ดังนั้น การทำความเข้าใจและไม่ตอบสนองต่อการยั่วยุสามารถช่วยให้จิตใจของเราไม่ถูกกระทบกระเทือนมากเกินไป เพราะจะช่วยยุติวงจรการกระตุ้นทางอารมณ์และลดความเครียดจากการทำงานของระบบ limbic ซึ่งเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของสมองที่ควบคุมอารมณ์ อีกหนึ่งวิธีที่สำคัญคือการตั้งขอบเขตอย่างชัดเจนและสม่ำเสมอ เช่น การบอกโดยตรงถึงสิ่งที่เรารับได้และไม่ได้ เพื่อป้องกันไม่ให้ตัวเองตกอยู่ในสถานการณ์ที่เป็นพิษจนก่อให้เกิดความเครียดเรื้อรัง ความรู้สึกหมดไฟ หรือวิตกกังวล เมื่อมีความรู้สึกผิดหลังจากที่ถอยห่างจากความสัมพันธ์ที่เป็นพิษ อย่าลืมว่าสิ่งนี้เป็นผลจากการเรียนรู้ในอดีต ไม่ได้หมายความว่าการปกป้องตัวเองนั้นผิด การถอยห่างทางอารมณ์จึงเป็นกลไกการปรับตัวที่เหมาะสมที่สุดในบริบทที่เราไม่สามารถหลีกเลี่ยงคนเหล่านั้นได้ สุดท้าย สุขภาพจิตที่ดีไม่ได้มาจากการอดทนหรือทนทุกข์มากๆ แต่เป็นการรู้จักจุดที่ควรรับและควรวางอย่างชาญฉลาด เพื่อให้ชีวิตมีความสุขและสมดุลในระยะยาว
