Things that are true at the same time…

  • Your parents did the best they could, AND their choices wounded you.
  • You love someone AND you know it’s not healthy to keep them in your life. 
  • You’re terrified to take the next step AND you know it’s the right thing to do.
  • You want to have healthy relationships AND unresolved trauma is making it difficult.
  • You’re afraid to fail AND you believe in yourself.
— @drheidigreen (American therapist and author. Green believes everyone has the power to be truly happy and she encourages clients to take control of their own happiness. She uses a number of techniques including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), EFT (Emotional Focused Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) 

No question unresolved trauma led me astray in both love and friendship. I allowed far too much drama and stress into my life. My favourite therapist says that we can have too high a tolerance for behaviours that we’re familiar with. Thankfully, I learned to draw better boundaries, identify key deal breakers and say no to unhealthy relationships. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO

Blessings,
