Summary
Have you ever gone back to an abusive relationship only to find that the behavior became significantly worse almost instantly? There is a specific logic behind why this happens, and it has nothing to do with how much you love them.In this video, I’m explaining the strategy behind why an abusive person punishes you for returning. We discuss why the "mask" never goes back on, how the cycle of abuse accelerates, and why your return is viewed as permission for more intense behavior.If you are struggling with the urge to go back or wondering why it didn't work the second time, this behavioral breakdown is for you. Learn how to end the cycle once and for all.NYC EVENT - www.mentalhealness.net/events
