Great read, Jess. Especially true in our time. #2. Drop the argument you are trying to win. That mental exit is where the relief comes. When you realize this is going nowhere. Sometimes I just can't .... because I do not have the energy for it to go on. That exit is protective, really, for both parties. Great work.
thank you so much, Patrick! it means a lot to me that you found this as a great read! the mental exit is the game changer. knowing when to retreat or choose to long engage and get stuck in the loop, the pause and exit are so beneficial rather than traumatizing or damaging. thank you for reading!!
This is such an important topic and one that isn’t spoken about enough. Thank you for bringing a sense of relief, clarity and compassion to the difficult dynamics many people experience with their parents.
That’s the shift - you’re no longer pulled in
i’m still working on that 😅
Mother-daughter dynamics can be really complex. It’s good to know we’re not the only ones dealing with it. Thanks Jess.
