The Role of Your Healing

But remember, all of this as we talk about in every single video all of has to do with how healthy you are inside. Because if you’re healthy and you’ve worked on yourself, none of these things are going to work. You’ll understand all of this is about control.

You’ll be able to enforce boundaries, and you will be able to not even engage with this person. It won’t even be attractive for you to even be in a relationship with this person.

Maybe they push you away. Maybe they’re comparing you to other people. Maybe they make you feel like you’re replaceable. Maybe they make you feel like you’re the reason why they feel what they feel.

You’re feeding into them through attention, through whatever it is that you’re giving them maybe it’s drama, maybe it’s the negativity, maybe it’s the going back and forth with them.
