Embrace Your Transformation:
A Journey Through Inner Work
Let's talk about judgments in intimate relationships: Who are they about?
Are they about your partner or
are they more about parts of yourself that still need healing?

I know how challenging this may be, and trust me, you are not alone with what you go through.
When Transition Brings Up Judgments…
In moments of deep inner transition, you might find yourself passing judgment—especially in intimate relationships. These judgments often serve as protective shields, masking deeper, vulnerable feelings. Here are some reflections to guide you:
1. Protection Through Judgment
- Shielding Vulnerability:
At times, when we feel exposed or overwhelmed by our inner turmoil, we
project our fears as judgments onto others. It’s our way of saying, “If I highlight a perceived flaw, maybe I won’t feel so alone in my uncertainty.”
- Maintaining Control:
Judgments help us establish a sense of control. By categorizing experiences as “right” or “wrong,” we try to create a structure that makes the chaos a little more manageable.
2. The Deeper Feelings
Beneath
- Fear and Abandonment:
Often, the judgments we pass are disguises for deeper fears—like the fear of abandonment or the belief that we are unworthy of love. These judgments might be an unconscious attempt to protect ourselves from pain.
- Unresolved Trauma:
Generational conditioning and past life experiences can echo through our judgments, hinting at older wounds that haven’t been fully
healed. Layers of sadness, disappointment, or even betrayal may lie beneath.
- Inner Critic and Self-Protection:
Sometimes the harshest critic in our life is our inner voice, projecting its judgments outward to shield us from further emotional hurt.
3. Embracing the Shadow for Growth
- Integrating the Shadow:
Every part of you—the light and the dark—is
essential for growth. By acknowledging these judgments without self-condemnation, you can understand their origins and gently let them go. This process paves the way for greater authenticity in your relationships and within yourself.
- A Call for Compassion:
When you invite clarity and ask for help from your partner, you’re not only seeking external support—you’re also nurturing a more compassionate view of yourself.
Recognizing these judgments as protective mechanisms is the first step toward releasing them and reconnecting with your true feelings of love, vulnerability, and trust.
4. Practical Steps to Move Forward
- Reflective Journaling: Write down your judgments as they arise. Reflect on the underlying emotions or past wounds behind them.
- Open Communication:
Foster transparent dialogue with your partner. Share not just the judgments, but also the fears and vulnerabilities that fuel them.
- Mindfulness and Meditation: Stay present with practices that help you notice when judgment arises, giving you the chance to choose responses rooted in compassion rather than defense.
By exploring these layers, you might
discover that your judgments are less about your partner and more about parts of yourself that still need healing.
