My therapist told me that healing is in two stages… the first part is getting out from under the weight of a toxic relationship. It’s the learning to love yourself, accept you didn’t deserve that, finding your light again. The second stage is allowing someone to love you, again. And some never get there. It’s allowing yourself to open back up and accept someone to see all of you, love all of you. And that is actually harder because every inch will be triggered. And leaves you vulnerable. But you may just get lucky and find someone who loves you exactly how you have always dreamed of and wanted.

sometimes being in a healthy relationship can be just as triggering as one that is not. the key is to learn discernment, between authenticity and performance 💜🫶🏻✨️

Tyler Plaas :
I struggle with this so much. My first relationship after separation even just being touched held such power and I broke down. Having someone show up with dinner because she wanted to, and so much more. I didn’t realize how much I had been neglected. I didn’t realize all the things I had been giving that weren’t being reciprocated. I lived without for so long and being seen, heard, understood, wanted and desired are so foreign that sometimes it breaks me.

I get it but I have a hard time accepting it..having someone who know what a healthy relationship is makes things hard for the one who doesn't🥺

I was dating a guy that treated me in a way I had always wanted and deserved. I ended up having actual panic attacks. My body was so unsure of everything. We ended up not working out. But it gives me hope that the right person will come a long

Yes!!! A guy I’m dating (enthusiastically) insisted on doing the dishes because I cooked and I’m like what no… it made me feel like I was going to be in trouble.
