🌱 Healing Check-In 🌱
Have you ever found yourself begging people to treat you better instead of just walking away? Yeah, same. Let’s not sugarcoat it—this is often tied to unresolved childhood trauma. And guess what? You’re not alone in this.
For some of us, it’s still hard to walk away. We cling to what feels familiar, even when it hurts. But here’s the truth: you deserve better, and it’s okay if you’re not there yet. Recognizing the pattern is already a step forward.
Why Do We Stay?
If you grew up feeling like love had to be earned or that you had to shrink yourself to keep the peace, leaving unhealthy dynamics can feel almost impossible. Sometimes, it’s your inner child trying to find the safety and love they never got. But listen—convincing someone to treat you right isn’t your job. Your job is learning to treat yourself right first.
So, What Now?
I know walking away feels like climbing a mountain in flip-flops. But healing doesn’t happen all at once. It’s about small, intentional steps:
Ask yourself this: “Am I trying to convince someone of my worth?”
Celebrate the baby steps: Even noticing the pattern is a big deal—don’t downplay it.
Get support: Healing isn’t a solo journey, and that’s okay.
