0:00Hi guys, I'm Andriana and welcome or
0:02welcome back to my channel. [music]
0:03I think that one of the most interesting
0:05things about emotional security [music]
0:08is that you can usually see it in
0:10someone's behavior. But actually, in
0:13reality, it [music] starts somewhere
0:15before even that. It starts from
0:18somewhere deeper than that. [music] It
0:20starts with the way that a woman
0:22experiences herself, the way that she
0:24interprets her [music] own emotions, the
0:26way that she handles uncertainty, the
0:29way that she makes decisions, the way
0:31that she experiences intimacy, the way
0:33that she responds when something doesn't
0:36[music] go according to plan. And I
0:37think this is something that we
0:39sometimes miss when we talk about
0:41becoming secure. We talk so much about
0:45what a secure woman doesn't do. She
0:47doesn't chase, she doesn't overthink,
0:49[music] she doesn't settle, she doesn't
0:52seek validation, she doesn't become
0:54overly attached. [music] And while all
0:57of those things might be true as a
0:59result of security, [music] I don't
1:02think that they are the foundation of
1:04it. Because you can learn not to take
1:06someone twice and still be incredibly
1:09[music] anxious inside. You can learn to
1:11have boundaries and you can still be
1:14secretly terrified of being rejected.
1:16[music]
1:17You can learn to act detached and you
1:20still spend the entire night thinking
1:24about someone. [music]
1:25So, I don't think that security's about
1:27learning how to perform the behaviors of
1:30a secure woman, but [music] it's about
1:32developing the psychology that makes
1:35those behaviors
1:36>> [music]
1:36>> feel natural. And the more I think about
1:38the women that I've met who seem
1:40genuinely secure and [music] not
1:42performatively secure, not I don't need
1:45anyone type of secure, but deeply
1:48secure, [music]
1:48the more I realize that they have
1:50something in common. These women have
1:53developed [music] a very different
1:54relationship with themselves. They trust
1:57their own perception. They can
1:59experience strong emotions without
2:01becoming consumed by them. They [music]
2:03can be deeply connected to another
2:06person without losing their sense
2:08[music] of individuality. They can
2:10tolerate uncertainty. They can hold two
2:13seemingly contradictory [music]
2:14truths at the same time. They can
2:17receive love. They can repair. They can
2:20change their mind. And perhaps [music]
2:22most importantly, they have developed an
2:24internal sense that they can handle
2:26life. So, today I want to break down
2:29what I think is the [music] actual
2:31psychology of a secure woman. Not the
2:33checklist of things to stop doing, but
2:36the internal [music] capacities that
2:38create security in the first place.
2:40Because I genuinely think that once you
2:42understand the psychology, the behavior
2:45starts to take care [music] of itself.
2:47Number one, a secure woman has an
2:49internal reference point. A secure woman
2:52has developed an internal [music]
2:54reference point for who she is, for what
2:57she values, what she wants, and what
2:59feels right for her. Which means that
3:02when she enters a relationship, she
3:04doesn't suddenly hand to the other
3:06person the authority [music]
3:08to define her reality. She still
3:11listens. She still considers herself to
3:13be influenced, but she doesn't lose
3:17contact with her own. And I think this
3:19is a really important distinction
3:21[music] because intimacy naturally makes
3:23us more influenced by another person.
3:26Obviously, you care what they think.
3:27[music] Their mood can affect you. Their
3:30opinions matter to you. Their choices
3:34can affect your life. And that's a
3:35natural part of loving someone. But
3:38[music] there is a difference between
3:40being influenced by someone and being
3:42defined by them. [music] The secure
3:45woman has an internal compass. She has
3:47an internal definition. She knows that
3:50this is what I believe. This is what I
3:52want, this is what feels aligned for me,
3:54[music] and this is what doesn't. And
3:56because she has that internal reference
3:58point, [music] she can enter someone
4:00else's world without disappearing inside
4:04[music] of it. I think this is why
4:05secure woman often feel very grounded.
4:09They're not constantly looking outside
4:11[music] of themselves for instructions
4:13for who they should be. They don't need
4:15their partner to tell [music] them
4:17whether they're beautiful. They don't
4:18need a friend to validate every decision
4:21that they make. They don't need everyone
4:23to agree with them before them trusting
4:25[music] themselves. They are able to
4:28listen to other people, and they can
4:30still come home to themselves. I think
4:33this is actually one of the most
4:34important psychological developments of
4:37adulthood. You being able to learn to
4:39use other [music] people as information
4:42without making them your authority.
4:44[music] Someone can tell you that you're
4:47too sensitive, you can consider it.
4:49Someone can tell you that you're making
4:51the wrong decision, you can [music]
4:53listen. Someone can disagree with you,
4:56you can reflect on that, but ultimately
4:59you [music] get to return to your own
5:00internal compass. And I think that's one
5:03of the deepest forms of security,
5:05[music]
5:06because when you have an internal
5:08reference point, you can [music] enter
5:10relationships from a position of
5:12connection rather than dependence.
5:15[music] And when you enter from a point
5:17of connection rather than dependence,
5:19[music] you don't need someone else to
5:21tell you who you are. You don't need
5:23someone else to tell you what you should
5:25do. You already have somewhere inside
5:28[music] of yourself. You already know
5:30who you are, and you already have
5:32somewhere inside [music] of yourself to
5:33return to and to connect with, so you
5:36can check in with yourself. Trusting
5:39yourself that you know better for your
5:42own self, for your own life. [music]
5:44Number two, a secure woman trusts her
5:47ability to handle her own emotions. And
5:51this is very different from being
5:52emotionally [music]
5:53calm all the time. I actually think that
5:55secure women can feel things very
5:58deeply. They can be sensitive. They can
6:00cry. They can get angry. [music] They
6:02can feel jealousy. They can become
6:05disappointed. They can be overwhelmed.
6:07Security doesn't mean that you have a
6:09small emotional range. It's actually
6:12having a large enough internal [music]
6:14capacity to experience that emotional
6:17range without [music] being frightened
6:20by yourself. I think this is such an
6:22important distinction because when we
6:25don't trust ourselves [music]
6:26emotionally, every intense feeling can
6:28feel like it is an emergency. You think,
6:31"Oh, I feel anxious, so something must
6:34[music] be wrong." You think, "I feel
6:35jealous, so I need to do something about
6:38it." Security is not having [music] a
6:40small emotional range. It's actually
6:43having a large enough [music] internal
6:45capacity to experience that emotional
6:48range without being [music] frightened
6:50by yourself and by your emotions. And I
6:52think this is such an important [music]
6:54distinction because when we do not trust
6:56ourselves emotionally, every intense
6:59feeling that we have, it can feel like
7:01[music] it's an emergency. You think,
7:03"Oh, I feel anxious, so something must
7:05be wrong. I feel jealous, so [music] I
7:08need to do something about it. I feel
7:10angry, so I need to act [music]
7:12immediately. I feel uncertain, so I need
7:16an answer right now." I think that a
7:18secure woman has learned something very
7:21powerful. [music] A secure woman has
7:23learned that I can feel these and still
7:26be okay. And still know that I will
7:29figure out what I need to do without now
7:32acting out [music] of impulse and out of
7:34urgency. She doesn't necessarily know
7:36what to do immediately. She doesn't
7:38necessarily have the answer right away,
7:41but she trusts that she can stay with
7:44herself a long enough for that emotion
7:46[music]
7:46to move. And this creates something
7:49incredibly valuable. It gives [music]
7:51you time for response. So, there is a
7:53time and there's a space between what
7:56she feels and what she does. [music]
7:58She can experience anger and think
8:01before she speaks. She can experience
8:03fear and still gather information
8:06[music] before she acts on that fear.
8:08She can experience disappoint- ment and
8:11>> [music]
8:11>> allow herself to process it before
8:14deciding what it means. She can
8:16experience excitement without her
8:19immediately building an entire future
8:22around it. [music] And I think this is
8:23one of the most underrated psychological
8:26qualities of a secure person. They trust
8:29their ability to [music] metabolize
8:31experience. They don't need every
8:33emotion to be resolved immediately.
8:36[music] They know that feelings can
8:38change. They know that perspective
8:40changes. [music] They know that what
8:42feels enormous at 10:00 p.m. at night,
8:45it can look [music] completely different
8:47tomorrow morning. And because they trust
8:50themselves emotionally, they don't need
8:52to control every [music] external
8:54circumstance for them to feel safe.
8:57Their sense of safety doesn't [music]
8:58come from nothing difficult will happen.
9:02It comes from knowing that if something
9:04difficult does happen, I know how to be
9:07with myself through it. And [music] this
9:10is a very different kind of confidence
9:12because it's a confidence in yourself.
9:14It's [music] faith and certainty and
9:16multiple experiences where you have seen
9:19yourself [music] being able to be there
9:21for yourself emotionally without
9:24spiraling and whenever something does
9:26happen. This makes you future proof
9:28because [music] in reality, life doesn't
9:31guarantee that you won't feel difficult
9:33emotions. Life [music] gives you a range
9:34of emotions from positive to negative.
9:38We constantly move through them. So, a
9:40secure person is someone that can feel
9:42[music] things without being completely
9:45consumed, uh overwhelmed, and spiraling
9:49because of those emotions. They know,
9:51they have learned, it's a skill [music]
9:53that you have to learn to handle those
9:55emotions when they do happen, give
9:57themselves the space to digest [music]
10:00them, to metabolize them, gain
10:02understanding from them, and not
10:04immediately try [music] to do and react
10:07and impulsively change them. Number
10:10three, a secure woman has a stable
10:13[music] sense of self through change. I
10:15think that one of the most beautiful
10:16things about secure woman is that their
10:18[music] identity is flexible without at
10:21the same time being fragile. And these
10:23two things can exist [music]
10:25together. A person can change their
10:27mind, they can change careers, they can
10:29change countries, they can discover new
10:32interests, [music] they can become more
10:33feminine, they can become more
10:35ambitious, they can enter a new
10:37relationship, [music] they can leave
10:38one. That secure woman can become a
10:41different version of herself [music]
10:43without feeling like every change means
10:47that she has lost herself. Because
10:49underneath all of those external
10:52identities, [music] there's something
10:53more stable inside of her. There's this
10:55sense of this is me. I know that [music]
10:58at my core, this is who I am. And I
11:00think this is especially important in
11:03relationships because relationships
11:05naturally [music]
11:06create merging. You can start adopting
11:10little rituals, you discover new
11:12interests, you spend more time together,
11:15your routines change, your future starts
11:19including another person. [music] And
11:21that is very beautiful. It's the
11:22beautiful part of relationships. Secure
11:25intimacy isn't about [music] keeping
11:28someone at a distance so So can preserve
11:31your independence and you can preserve
11:33your sense of self. [music] Secure
11:35intimacy is about being able to expand
11:38your identity without [music]
11:40abandoning its center. You can become we
11:44without you losing the [music] I. You
11:46can love someone's world while you
11:48continue to build your own. You can
11:51become deeply connected [music] with
11:52someone without making that relationship
11:55your only source of meaning. And I think
11:58that's one of the reasons [music] why
12:00secure women often seem so alive inside
12:04relationships. They're still developing,
12:06they're still learning, they're still
12:07discovering, [music]
12:08they're still becoming. The relationship
12:11itself isn't the final destination of
12:14their identity. It's just simply one
12:16part of their life that they are
12:18creating. I think that there's something
12:20beautiful about knowing that I [music]
12:22can evolve without me losing myself.
12:25Because in my opinion, the deepest form
12:27of identity security isn't knowing
12:30exactly who you are forever. [music]
12:32It's about trusting yourself enough to
12:35meet every version of yourself as
12:37[music] she arrives while at the same
12:40time retaining and knowing at your core
12:43the qualities, the values, and the
12:45things [music] that stay with you.
12:47Number four, a secure woman can [music]
12:50hold complexity. I think this might be
12:53one of the biggest psychological
12:54differences [music] between secure and
12:56insecure relating. So a secure woman has
13:00the ability to hold [music]
13:02two truths at once. She can love someone
13:05and be [music] angry with them. She can
13:07trust someone and still acknowledge that
13:10something [music]
13:11that they did wasn't okay. She can be
13:13independent and still deeply want
13:17[music] someone. She can be happy in her
13:19relationship and still have difficult
13:21days. She can be grateful and want more.
13:24[music] She can understand someone's
13:26behavior without excusing it. [music]
13:29She can understand herself without
13:31making herself right about everything.
13:34[music] And I think that this capacity
13:35for complexity is incredibly important
13:38because insecurity often [music] pushes
13:41us towards extremes. It pushes us
13:43towards either good or bad, safe or
13:46unsafe, love me or don't love me, stay
13:50or leave, right or wrong, forever or
13:52never. But real life rarely works that
13:55way. People are complicated,
13:57relationships are complicated, we are
13:59complicated, and emotional maturity is
14:02partly the ability to remain grounded
14:05[music] in that complexity. I think that
14:07you can understand that, for example,
14:08when you read a book [music] and you
14:10read a character that is very one-sided.
14:12It's just one thing. It's just [music]
14:15very sensitive, just very good, just
14:17very pure, just very kind. When you read
14:20[music] that book, you think that the
14:21this character um lays flat. You think
14:24that it's very one-sided. It doesn't
14:27have complexity. [music] It seems a bit
14:29lazy on the part of the author to not
14:31show all of the traits [music]
14:33of that person. People are complicated.
14:36They're never just one thing. We can
14:38have good as much as we have evil, we
14:41can have kindness as much as we have
14:43ego, [music] and understanding that is
14:46understanding life. Because a secure
14:48woman understands that, she doesn't need
14:50[music] to turn someone into a villain
14:52in order to validate her decision. She
14:54doesn't need to decide that a
14:57relationship was toxic simply because it
15:00ended. She doesn't need to decide that
15:02someone was perfect simply because she
15:05loved them. [music] She's able to say
15:07that there was a real love here, and
15:10there were also things that didn't work.
15:12Both of these things can be true at the
15:14same time. And I think that's such an
15:16underrated [music]
15:17form of wisdom because when you can hold
15:20complexity, [music] you don't need to
15:23distort reality to make yourself [music]
15:26feel safe. You can see people as whole
15:30people. You can see yourself as a whole
15:32person. [music] You can see your
15:34relationship as whole experiences. And
15:37for me, that's a very secure way of
15:39moving through life, because reality
15:42doesn't have to become simpler for you
15:45to feel [music] okay with it. It doesn't
15:46have to become just one thing for you to
15:48feel safe in it. And then you can become
15:51[music] capable of holding more of
15:53reality. You can expand your [music]
15:55capacity to hold more of life, and more
15:59of life means more complexity. Number
16:01five, a secure woman experiences
16:04intimacy [music] as expansion. I think
16:07this is one of the most beautiful parts
16:09of security. A secure relationship
16:11doesn't make a woman smaller, but in
16:14reality it gives her more room to become
16:17[music] herself. And I don't mean that
16:18your partner is responsible for your
16:21personal [music] growth. I mean that
16:23when you feel fundamentally safe in a
16:25relationship, you have more
16:27psychological space that is available
16:30for more exploration. [music]
16:31Imagine that you get back all of the
16:34energy because you're now you're [music]
16:35not constantly monitoring the
16:37relationship, you're not spending all of
16:39your energy wondering where you stand
16:41with that [music] person, you're not
16:42performing, you're not trying to
16:44maintain someone's interest. [music]
16:46So, what happens is that all of that
16:48energy becomes available for you to
16:51[music] use for other things. Things
16:53like creativity, friendship, career,
16:56travel, play, sexuality, curiosity,
17:00learning, life. [music] And I think
17:02that's precisely why healthy love can
17:04feel so expansive. It is [music] not
17:06because another person comes in and
17:10they complete you, but it's because you
17:12no longer have to spend so much energy
17:15[music] protecting yourself from that
17:17relationship, from that relationship
17:19draining energy from you. You instead
17:22have room to leave. [music] And the
17:24secure woman understands that intimacy
17:27and individuality are not opposites.
17:30>> [music]
17:30>> In fact, individuality can make intimacy
17:34deeper. Because when two people continue
17:37[music] becoming themselves, they can
17:40have something to bring back to each
17:42other, [music] back to the relationship
17:44with that new thoughts, new experiences,
17:47new stories, new perspectives, [music]
17:50new parts of themselves. This is one of
17:52the healthiest ways to understand
17:54partnership. It's not the idea that we
17:57have [music] been fed that you are my
17:59other half, but in reality is that you
18:01are a whole person, I am a whole person,
18:04and we get to build something
18:06>> [music]
18:06>> between us. That's very different
18:07because the relationship becomes a place
18:11of connection and not a place where
18:13identity goes to disappear. Your
18:15identity, your perspective, your values,
18:17the things that [music] you find
18:19important to do in life are expanded in
18:23the relationship and not shrunk. [music]
18:25When you're in a relationship where you
18:27become less of yourself, this is usually
18:30not a sign of a either a healthy
18:32relationship or a healthy way of you
18:34approaching that [music] relationship.
18:36Number six, a secure woman is
18:38comfortable receiving love. I think that
18:40we talk endlessly about learning how to
18:42love ourselves, but there's also another
18:45skill that doesn't get nearly enough
18:47attention [music] in my opinion, and
18:49that is learning how to let love reach
18:52you. Because you can have an enormous
18:54self-worth, and you can still struggle
18:57to receive and to fully receive. Someone
19:00[music] compliments you, and you
19:01immediately dismiss it. Someone offers
19:03you help, and you say that you're fine,
19:05[music] that you got it. Someone loves
19:07you consistently, and you become
19:09suspicious of it. Someone can [music]
19:11give you something beautiful, and you
19:12immediately feel like you need to earn
19:15it or to immediately return the favor.
19:17And I think [music] that sometimes we
19:19confuse self-sufficiency
19:22with security. [music] But secure women
19:25can be deeply self-sufficient and deeply
19:28receptive at the same time. [music] They
19:30can let someone help them. They can
19:32accept affection. They can accept
19:35generosity. They can allow themselves
19:37[music] to be cared for. They can say
19:39thank you when somebody compliments them
19:42and actually let that compliment land.
19:44They can let someone [music] do
19:46something kind for them without
19:48immediately needing to repay it. Because
19:50psychologically, receiving [music]
19:52requires trust. It requires allowing
19:55yourself to be seen as someone [music]
19:58who has needs. It requires allowing
20:01another person to have an impact on
20:03[music] you. It requires surrendering a
20:06little bit of control. And I think there
20:08is something incredibly intimate about
20:11that because [music] giving says that I
20:13have something to offer you, but
20:16receiving says that I trust you enough
20:18to let what you offer [music]
20:20reach me. And I think that secure love
20:23requires both. The ability to give
20:26[music] freely and the ability to let
20:28yourself be loved without constantly
20:32questioning whether you deserve [music]
20:33it. And number seven, a secure woman has
20:36a high tolerance for uncertainty. And I
20:39think this might be one of the most
20:41important [music] psychological
20:43capacities in modern dating because
20:45uncertainty is everywhere. You don't
20:48know exactly how someone [music] feels.
20:50You don't know where something is going.
20:51You don't know whether you'll still be
20:53together in 5 years. You don't know
20:56whether an opportunity [music] will work
20:58out. You don't know whether someone will
21:01choose you. And there's no amount of
21:03analyzing that can give [music] you
21:05absolute certainty about another human
21:07being. So, security isn't the ability to
21:11eliminate uncertainty. [music]
21:13It's the ability to remain yourself
21:16while that uncertainty exists. A secure
21:19woman can say, "I don't know yet." and
21:21still have a beautiful day. She can
21:23[music] be excited about someone without
21:25needing to know the ending. [music] She
21:28can be in a new relationship without
21:31immediately needing to define [music]
21:33its entire future. She can make a
21:36decision knowing that she might learn
21:38something later that [music] changes her
21:41mind. And this creates a very different
21:43experience of life because instead of
21:46constantly trying to arrive at
21:48certainty, [music] she becomes
21:50comfortable with discovery. She lets
21:53information accumulate. [music]
21:55She lets people reveal themselves over
21:58time. She lets relationships unfold.
22:01[music]
22:01That's because she understands that some
22:04questions are only answerable [music]
22:06through living. And then I think this is
22:08a very beautiful form of trust. [music]
22:11It's not blind trust in another person,
22:13but it's trusting the unfolding [music]
22:15of reality, the unfolding of life. She's
22:18carrying the belief that I don't need to
22:20know [music] everything right now. I
22:22don't need to know everything for
22:24certain today. I can learn, I can adapt,
22:27I can respond [music] when I have more
22:29information. And I honestly think that
22:32this is one of the greatest gifts that
22:35you can give yourself. And that is
22:37[music] the ability to let life reveal
22:39itself to you instead of demanding that
22:42it explains itself immediately. [music]
22:44Number eight, a secure woman repairs.
22:46This is something that I think is
22:48incredibly important because we often
22:50talk about secure [music] relationships
22:52as though they are relationships where
22:54conflict barely exists. [music] And I
22:57don't think that's true. I think that
22:59secure relationships are relationships
23:01where conflict can be processed and can
23:04[music] be repaired. And secure women
23:07understand that being a good partner
23:09doesn't mean never [music] getting it
23:12wrong. It means being able to come back.
23:15She can say that I was wrong. I [music]
23:17understand why that hurt you. I reacted
23:20from a place of fear. She can say that I
23:23could have communicated that
23:24differently. [music] She can say I need
23:26some time, but I want to come back to
23:28this. She doesn't experience apologizing
23:31as humiliation. She doesn't experience
23:34changing her mind as [music] a weakness.
23:36She doesn't experience accountability as
23:39an attacked on her identity. And that is
23:42because her self-worth isn't dependent
23:43[music]
23:44on always being right. That's ego. Um, I
23:47think this is a very big psychological
23:49shift. When your identity is fragile,
23:52being wrong feels very dangerous. You
23:54have to defend [music] yourself, explain
23:56yourself, prove yourself. But when your
23:59identity [music] is stable, you can be
24:02wrong and remain whole. You can say that
24:04I made a mistake and [music] still think
24:06that I am a good person. That's
24:08security. And that is [music] why secure
24:11relationships aren't necessarily
24:13conflict-free, but they are repair-rich.
24:16[music]
24:17There is room for mistakes. There is
24:19room for misunderstandings. [music]
24:21There is room for two different
24:23perspectives. And there is a shared
24:25belief that the relationship can survive
24:28the discomfort [music]
24:29of an honest conversation. And that's a
24:31very different psychological environment
24:34from [music] trying to maintain
24:35perfection. Number nine, a secure woman
24:38makes decisions from values [music] and
24:40not from momentary emotions. I think
24:43this is where emotional security [music]
24:46eventually becomes self-leadership. A
24:48secure woman doesn't ignore her
24:50emotions. She includes them. But she
24:54doesn't let whichever [music] emotion is
24:56loudest at that moment to become the CEO
24:59of her life. She has values,
25:01>> [music]
25:02>> she knows what it matters to her, she
25:04knows what kind of woman she wants to
25:06be, she knows what kind of relationship
25:08she wants to create, [music] and then
25:10she makes decisions from that larger
25:13picture. Because sometimes what feels
25:16good immediately [music] isn't what
25:19feels good or creates a good result
25:21long-term. [music] For example,
25:23sometimes you want to send that message.
25:24Sometimes you want to withdraw,
25:26sometimes you want the reassurance,
25:29sometimes you want to prove your point,
25:31sometimes you want to leave. And there
25:33are moments where those impulses contain
25:35important information. But a secure
25:38woman can [music] pause and can ask
25:40herself, "What choice is most aligned
25:44with the woman that I want to be?" That
25:46is a very different way of approaching
25:48this. And I think this is one of the
25:51biggest transitions from [music]
25:52emotional reactivity to emotional
25:55maturity. You stop asking only, "What do
25:57I feel like doing?" and [music] you
25:59start asking, "What do I believe in?
26:01What matters to me? How do I want to
26:04handle this? [music] What kind of
26:05relationship am I trying to create? What
26:08kind of woman do I want to be in this
26:11moment?" [music] And that creates
26:13something incredibly powerful.
26:15Self-respect
26:17[music] is less about rules and more
26:19about alignment. You are not following a
26:23list of dating strategies. You are
26:25living according to your values. And so
26:28when your actions consistently reflect
26:31your values, you develop something
26:33[music] even more important than
26:35confidence. You develop self-trust
26:38because you know that I [music] can
26:41trust myself to lead myself. I can trust
26:44myself to make the right decision, not
26:47just for my current self, but for my
26:49future self. I can trust myself [music]
26:51to do the right decision that is going
26:53to lead me to the outcome that I want.
26:56Even when [music] that current decision
26:59is not the one that I feel like doing
27:01right now. You're able to
27:03>> [music]
27:03>> discipline yourself, to guide yourself,
27:05and to lead yourself based on what is
27:07most aligned with your long-term goals
27:09[music] and the person and the version
27:11of you that you want to be and not the
27:14version of you that you're used to being
27:16and the version of you that you're most
27:18comfortable being. And finally, number
27:2010,
27:20>> [music]
27:20>> a secure woman trusts herself more than
27:23she trusts certainty. And I think this
27:26is ultimately the foundation underneath
27:28[music] everything that we have talked
27:30about today because if you really strip
27:32security down to its simplest form, I
27:35don't think that it's I [music] know
27:36everything will work out and I'm certain
27:39of it. I think that it's more like I
27:41trust myself to meet whatever [music]
27:44happens. That's it. And that is because
27:47life will always contain [music]
27:49uncertainty. People will change,
27:52relationships will evolve, plans will
27:54fail, people will leave, people [music]
27:56will stay, you will make mistakes, you
27:59will outgrow things, you will discover
28:02things that you didn't know about
28:04[music] yourself. And there's no
28:05psychological strategy that can remove
28:07that uncertainty. [music] If there If
28:09there's something to be certain of is
28:11that change is certain. But what you can
28:13do is that you can build something
28:15stronger [music] than that certainty.
28:17You can build self-trust. The trust that
28:21you will listen to yourself, [music] the
28:23trust that you will adapt, the trust
28:25that you will tell the truth, the trust
28:28that you will ask for what you need, the
28:30trust that you will leave when something
28:32[music] is fundamentally wrong for you,
28:34the trust that you will stay when
28:35something is worth working through, the
28:38trust that you will recover when life
28:41disappoints [music]
28:41you, and the trust that you can become
28:43someone new without betraying who you
28:46were. And in my opinion, that is why
28:48secure women can love so deeply because
28:51they do not need love to [music]
28:53guarantee their future. They don't need
28:56that person to give them certainty
28:58[music]
28:58and safety. They know that they are
29:01capable of participating in whatever
29:03future comes [music] and making the best
29:06and the most of it. And once you have
29:09that, [music] you don't need to grip
29:11life so tightly. You're able to take
29:13risks. You can love. You can be
29:16vulnerable. You can try. You can fail.
29:19You can begin again. You can let
29:21yourself [music] care because your
29:23safety isn't dependent on getting the
29:26outcome that you wanted and you had in
29:28your mind. [music] But your safety comes
29:30from knowing that I can trust myself
29:33with the outcome. I trust myself that
29:35whatever happens, I'm [music] going to
29:37be able to handle it and I'm going to be
29:39able to lead me to the best and highest
29:42[music] outcome for me, no matter what.
29:44And so, when I put all of this together,
29:46[music] I think that the psychology of
29:48the secure woman becomes much clearer.
29:51She has an internal [music] reference
29:53point. She trusts herself emotionally.
29:55She has a stable sense of identity while
29:58still allowing [music] herself to
30:00evolve. She can hold complexity. She can
30:03experience intimacy as expansion.
30:06[music] She knows how to receive love.
30:08She has a high tolerance for
30:10uncertainty. She knows how to repair.
30:13She makes decisions from her values. And
30:15[music] underneath all of it, she has
30:18developed self-trust. And I think that's
30:21what I want you to take away from this
30:23video because becoming secure [music]
30:25isn't about constructing this perfectly
30:28calm version of yourself. It's not about
30:30becoming the woman who never gets
30:32triggered. [music] It's not about
30:33becoming so independent that you don't
30:36need anyone. It's not about mastering
30:39every [music] psychological concept. And
30:41it's definitely not about performing
30:43[music]
30:44emotional security so that someone will
30:46see you as desirable. It's about
30:48building an internal world that feels
30:50safe [music] enough for you to actually
30:53live inside of it. A world where you can
30:56[music] have emotions without being
30:58afraid of them. A world where you can
31:01change without losing yourself, where
31:03you can love someone without needing to
31:05possess them, where you can receive
31:08[music] without feeling indebted, where
31:10you can experience uncertainty [music]
31:13without immediately needing answers,
31:15where you can be wrong without
31:17collapsing, where you can be deeply
31:19connected to someone while remaining
31:22deeply connected [music] to yourself.
31:23And I think that the most beautiful
31:25thing about becoming secure is that
31:28eventually you stop thinking about
31:30security so much. You stop monitoring
31:32yourself. You stop wondering whether
31:35you're doing relationships correctly.
31:37You stop trying to become the perfectly
31:40[music] healed woman. You simply become
31:43someone who trusts herself. [music] And
31:45I think that is the real transformation.
31:47It's not the actions, the behaviors,
31:50[music] the reflections of security.
31:51It's that deep sense and having a core
31:54of security inside of you. So, that's it
31:57for today, guys. Thank you so much for
