@drlisakleyn: Patience is not the same as tolerating the same pattern indefinitely. A relationship can hold space for someone who is healing while still expecting movement. The important question isn't just, "Am I willing to wait?" It's "What am I waiting for, and can I actually see it changing?" Small, observable steps matter. Without them, patience can quietly become chronic disappointment. Healthy relationships make room for imperfection without making a home for repeated harm. #relationships #attachment #healing #secureattachment #drlisakleyn
