Summary
Many Bravehearts come to me saying "I should have seen it coming". And my answer is the same every single time.
No, you weren't.
You were never supposed to see it coming. Maybe you'll see it coming next time. But this time, it went exactly as it was supposed to. No one goes into a relationship expecting it to end. Telling yourself "I should have seen the red flags" or "I missed something" only keeps you feeling like there's something wrong with you that needs to be fixed. No part of you needs to be fixed, all that needs to happen is self-acceptance.
What to expect:
- Learn what "I should have seen it coming" is creating in your life that you didn't even realize
- Understand why your brain wants to tell you that you should have known
- Become the person who accepts the situation and themselves fully
