Check your pulse 💕⁠ ⁠ What do you care abou

Check your pulse 💕⁠
⁠
What do you care about? ⁠
Where does your passion lie?⁠
What kind of love do you want to receive? ⁠
⁠
Our motivations shift and change as we do,so they may be radically different than even a year ago. ⁠
⁠
It's time to identify what matters to you in the NOW.

A Pathological Lover is ruthlessly self-centered.

A Pathological Lover is ruthlessly self-centered. Their identity is tied to the amount of money, power, and attention they can attain and the pleasure they can feel. ⁠
⁠
Here is their life's mission:⁠
⁠
They will use, betray and exploit you to meet their needs for:⁠
Money, Power, Pleasure, and Status.⁠
⁠
They believe they are entitled to get their needs met because they are superior.⁠
⁠
You are simply a means to an end.

HARD TRUTH: ⁠ ⁠ When you give someone the powe

HARD TRUTH: ⁠
⁠
When you give someone the power to validate your worth, you also give them the power to take it away.⁠
⁠
A pathological partner will break you to glue you back together and make you believe they are the solution–that you're broken without them.⁠
⁠
This is how they manipulate you into giving up your power and sense of worth.⁠ ⁠
⁠
You are NOT broken or unworthy, and you NEVER were.⁠
⁠

HEALTHY LOVE VS. TOXIC LOVE⁠
⁠
Healthy Love:⁠
You feel safe expressing your innermost thoughts and feelings to your partner. Your partner brings out your best qualities and doesn't try to control or change you.⁠
⁠
Toxic Love:⁠
You experience cycles of bliss and connectedness then sad, angry, or anxious. Your boundaries are disregarded by your partner, which destroys your self esteem. You have a lack of trust in your relationships.

Self-compassion is a skill that can be developed and strengthened at any age. It is not an inherent quality we either have or don’t have. ⁠
⁠
Self-compassion may be a foreign concept for some people. This is especially true for those raised in abusive or unloving homes, where compassion may have been non-existent.⁠
⁠
Self-compassion means recognizing the difference between making a mistake, failing, or getting rejected (which are inevitable) and thinking you are worthless. ⁠
⁠
When you have self-compassion, you understand that your worth is unconditional. 💕⁠

A mantra to bring the week to a close and start new: I need to feel it to heal it. ⁠
⁠
👉 Head to the link in my stories to be guided through a healing meditation exercise to help you grieve for what you did not receive in your relationship.

Do you recognize the following scenarios?⁠ ⁠ C

Do you recognize the following scenarios?⁠
⁠
Confronting your partner drives them to accuse you. You begin defending yourself and questioning your sanity; toxic cycles of bliss followed by despair cause you to crave a deeper connection. ⁠
⁠
Yet you are no match for their manipulation and domination. Left⁠
with no choice, you rationalize their abuse and minimize betrayals because their unrelenting intimidation crushes your willpower.⁠
⁠
As your well-being depends on the moments of peace you share with them, you begin to believe your well-being and safety depend on their love, so you compulsively accommodate their needs and deny yours. ⁠
⁠
Feelings of dependency, tangled with forgiveness and denial, emotionally bond you to your intimate terrorist.⁠
⁠
If you or someone you know has suffered through this—if you are suffering through this—you are not alone. You have been in a trauma bond.⁠ ⁠

A question I always hear: How do I avoid getting into a TRAUMA BOND relationship? ⁠
⁠
⁠You are the Main Character of your life, so start with what you can control, YOURSELF. ⁠
⁠
Spend time getting to know your Wants, Needs, and Values. ⁠
⁠
Take your time moving into new Relationships, and do not Ignore any RED FLAGS.⁠
⁠
Don't forget to create Self-Protection by setting Personal Boundaries. ⁠
⁠
If you do enter a TRAUMA BOND, educate yourself and leave safely.
