0:00.0	You're listening to On attachment, a place to learn about how attachment shapes the way we experience
0:09.9	relationships and where you'll gain the guidance, knowledge and practical tools to overcome
0:15.6	insecurity and build healthy thriving relationships.
0:20.1	I'm your host, relationship coach Stephanie Rigg, and I'm really glad you're here.
0:28.8	Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of On Attachment.
0:35.6	Today's episode is how to leave a relationship when you know you need to. So this was a question that I got from
0:39.4	someone in my community and as much as it's a big conversation it's a messy conversation and it's a
0:46.5	conversation that's going to have a huge number of variables that are obviously very personal
0:52.2	I think it's also a really important conversation and it's one that I know when I was in this situation a few years ago I really could have used some guidance on this because I know I felt very alone and very confused and very
1:05.7	overwhelmed by knowing that I needed to do this thing but not knowing how I was actually going to do it and that can be really paralyzing and I think we can get
1:18.0	really stuck there and really just the whole thing gets very drawn out and can be longer and more painful than it needs to be because maybe we don't trust ourselves
1:28.0	Maybe we don't trust in our own resilience and our capacity to navigate difficult things or we just feel so overwhelmed by the task ahead and the road ahead that we
1:40.0	Shrink and we freeze and and we don't actually do the thing we know we need to do.

1:49.1	that this is not universal advice and it's not going to be a one-size-fits-all thing and it's certainly not a prescriptive
1:56.8	blueprint for the steps you need to take in every situation.
1:59.7	I'm hoping that what we'll discuss will give you some guidance and some
2:04.7	reassurance and some support if this is a situation that you're in or someone in your
2:09.5	life is in and you're in need of a little bit of help along the way. So that's what we're going to be talking about.
2:17.0	Before I dive into that, a couple of quick announcements.
2:20.0	Just a reminder that I'm now accepting applications for my homecoming mastermind program.
2:25.7	This is a six month small group coaching program with me. It's the most intimate and high level
