One last thing: (follow-up to previous entry)
The reason I said that lack of self-respect isn’t solely responsible for keeping someone in a challenging relationship is that increasing self-respect doesn’t always result in them leaving it.
If something is causing something else, then fixing that thing should result in an end to the thing that it was supposedly causing 🙃
All I’m saying is there are so many factors contributing to why we do the things we do, and I often feel annoyed by the oversimplified, black and white, “2D” explanations that we so often settle for.
Why is this?
They rob us of our full expression.
After years in the mental health field and talking to hundreds of people, I can tell you that we are not pulling it off 🙄🤦♀️
Humans were not made to exist within a little box, and the fact that so many people are exhibiting “mental health symptoms” is evidence that it’s not working.
We haven’t given ourselves a large enough permission field, and we’re busting at the seams.
It’s time to broaden our perspective, expand our consciousness, and elevate the conversation.
