This episode is about breaking a pattern. Today's caller, Aimee, wants to end a relationship but keeps going back for more. She has a lot of awareness about why it isn't healthy but she hasn't taken the action to end it for good. We work through how she can find clarity and commit to her truth.

When we don't feel integrated, when all of our parts are not working in harmony, or we have parts of ourselves we have abandoned, we can feel fragmented, off-balance, and lost. If you ever feel lost, ask yourself — what parts of me have I lost versus why am I lost or why do I feel lost? — then, think about what parts of yourself you need to bring back in and integrate.

 

We can get caught in a bind and judgmental of ourselves when our adult brain, our conscious mind is like — this is a terrible situation. Why am I here? We can't seem to get out of it or we get out of the situation and we go back for more. It is because the subconscious is looking for an unmet need.

 

Healing comes when we give ourselves what we need, take action, and keep our promises to ourselves. Remember, feeling relief is an indicator that we are on our way to the truth.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Is there a situation you are in, a behavior you repeat, or a relationship you know needs to end but you just can't seem to get out of it?
• Do you find yourself calling something love or calling a relationship healthy or calling a situation okay but it isn't? It is just familiar.
• Are you confusing true love and safety with familiarity and certainty?
• Are you abandoning your inner child by continuing to put yourself in situations that aren't for your highest good?

 

Aimee's Question:

Aimee doesn't know how to end her relationship of 11 years. She keeps going back and putting her needs aside.

• Stay committed and strong when she feels guilty.
