What are your thoughts?
I've been listening to a book called Fierce Conversations, and one idea really stood out to me:
"The conversation is the relationship."
At first, I thought this was about the conversations we have with other people.
But the more I sat with it, the more I thought about the conversations we have with ourselves.
After emotional or narcissistic abuse, many women don't realize how much their inner dialogue has changed.
💭 "Maybe it was my fault."
💭 "I'm overreacting."
💭 "I should be over this by now."
💭 "Why didn't I see it sooner?"
Over time, those thoughts can shape the relationship we have with ourselves.
One of the things I see most often in my work is women speaking to themselves with a level of criticism, judgment, and blame that they would never direct toward someone they care about.
Healing isn't just about leaving the relationship.
It's also about becoming aware of the conversation happening inside your own mind and learning to respond to yourself differently.
❤️ I'd love to hear from you:
What's one thing you've caught yourself saying to yourself that you'd never say to someone you love?
