Ep 225: Stuck in a Relationship You Hate

Published: June 6, 2024, 7:41 p.m.

This is about escaping a relationship that you cannot seem to leave but you know 1000% that you are extremely unhappy staying in it. When we watch ourselves in a state of inaction, we assume it to be your truth. Ambivalence, rumination and a state of paralysis when it comes to a relationship\u2013that you are clearly unhappy in\u2013 are very common. This is what I would call an invisible wall made up of the old rules, fears and traumas of your upbringing. Often the ambivalence is rooted in an inability to accept a truth \u2013 that we do not align with our cultural upbringing, our parents values, or we have undealt with pain that rests deep within ourselves. When we process these old feelings and separate them from our current wants and values, we can move through them knowing where our hearts truly lie. So if you find that you are spinning and rethinking what is negative about changing, but you are also fully aware that you are totally unhappy in this current relationship \u2013 this is an episode for you.\nSupport this week\u2019s sponsors!\nAirdoctor - Head to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code HELPMEBEME you\u2019ll receive UP TO $300 off air purifiers!
