Relationships are mirrors. They reflect both your gifts and your unhealed opportunities for growth. This is one of the many values of our connections. As you grow and heal, you may notice that you start to see different reflections in others — maybe you have more compassion for them, greater curiosity. Maybe you can relate to what they’re going through or see the inner child in them. That’s them mirroring back to you what you’re ready to see, heal, and integrate about yourself.

A healthy person will also include the parts of the story where they were wrong—not just when they were right—when they’re working towards repair.

They’re not quick to blame, judge, or accuse.
They can take accountability.

That’s where “healthy” and “unhealthy” diverge when it comes to relationship conflict.

And it’s often the discerning factor about whether a relationship can “Mend” or if “Move On” is the healthiest way forward.

📖✨”MEND or MOVE ON” is the title of the book that will help you navigate your most challenging relationships and break free from those that keep you small and unhealthy. LINK In BIO & everywhere books are sold.

Second chances are tricky territory. After all, there’s a good reason who you broken off from them or separated yourself from them in the first place.

There’s one essential ingredient when it comes to second chances and that is this:

⭐️⭐️⭐️change⭐️⭐️⭐️

Not talking about change…
Not dreaming about change…
Nor planning to change…
Actual change that includes action.

You can’t go back to the relationship that used to be. There needs to be a new beginning for a different chapter where the dysfunction, misalignment, whatever didn’t work before has been shifted and pivoted into a position where it works.

If there’s no change, it won’t work out.
And if you persist forward without meaningful change being integrated, you’ll likely find yourself looping in a pattern of not just second chances, but third, fourth, fifth—endless chances for a person who actually never will change.

How did I get the confidence to do this work? I start by answering this question, and continue in conversation with Arroe Collins to traverse many other questions & answers about my clinical and personal overlap on the topic of “Mending” and “Moving On.” Another powerful conversation on the controversial and important topic of what to do with those toxic, dysfunctional, unhealthy relationships so many people struggle with.

Abusive parents want you isolated & alone so you are easier to control and manipulate. You’re most likely to collapse into unhealthy dynamics when you feel isolated, so parents like these will try to eliminate your allies—including your siblings, other family members, and close friends.

If you’re breaking away from toxic family, it’s important that you build community and trustworthy connections outside of the family. Gaining support from people beyond the reach of your unhealthy parent helps you to have clear, untainted support that trusts your story and supports you in ways that you need.

One of the many complexities inherent in disentangling from toxic family members is that the relationships are so embedded and intertwined that they can easily be manipulated by the unhealthy person. This is also how smear campaigns can happen within families.

✨📖 I’m here to support you with your most unhealthy family relationships. Read “Mend or Move On” for the ultimate guide to how to navigate difficult relationships.

Hatred is optional in no-contact situations, and often it’s not present at all.

When someone walks away from a relationship, it doesn’t mean they hate the other person, it means they are done with the dynamic.

By cutting ties, they likely choose health, freedom, or a positive flow rather than the dysfunctional or misaligned dynamic that has evolved in the relationship.

Most of the time when people walk away from a relationship, hatred isn’t present. In best case scenarios, people can part ways and wish each other well, but in dysfunctional relationships, the ending becomes volatile because there is a lack of maturity or emotional Intelligence present to acknowledge that the relationship is hindering the health and well-being of all involved.

So no, people who go no-contact are not typically full of hatred. They’re just moving toward their chosen life rather remaining in a relationship that no longer feels aligned or healthy.

📕NEW BOOK ALERT: my new book, “Mend or Move On,” is on this exact topic. If you’re navigating the choice point between whether to stay or go, I’ve got you.

Denial only makes bad relationships worse by veiling you from the clarity you need to either change the relationship or leave it. When you’re stuck in the sticky trap of denial, you are likely under-supported, under-resourced, questioning of your self-worth, or in a state of confusion.

Only you can lift the veil of denial by becoming honest with yourself about the true dynamics at play in the relationship. This is a great time to bring a therapist on board for extra support. Remember - you don’t have to agate this process alone.

I’ll get more personal with you today and share that cutting ties with my parent wasn’t what I wanted. In fact, I tried everything I could for decades to avoid having to make an impossible decision I would never wish for anyone.

When my loved ones asked how it felt, I expressed that it felt like the snapping of the final thread of a thick rope that had been slowly fraying over time.

There was nothing left to save.
The relationship had fully and completely ended.
I felt it in my bones when the last thread ruptured.

As an adult daughter, I felt the swirl of many feelings — relief, grief, a strange sense of peacefulness, nervousness for what my decision wound mean.

As an almost 20-year licensed therapist, I understood clinically what happened — it was the result of a lifelong traumatic experience finally coming to closure as I took action to preserve the health, safety, and well-being of myself and my family.

I took my life into my own hands and said “no more” to the relationship that had taken so much from me.

Sometimes the most challenging relationships that show no hope for change become activating forces towards our growth, sovereignty, and health. Things didn’t go how I wanted, but ultimately I made the healthiest choice of my life.

I don’t know what’s best for everyone, but I do know this—as a licensed therapist and a human being:

What feels like freedom and peace — thats’s healthy. That’s your true north, your inner compass.

Follow what feels most peaceful and free, even if you’re not sure yet about the what/how/when/who questions…

Eventually, the thread of peace and freedom will bring you to the answers.

These days I’m a therapist—and I talk a lot about healing the emotional body—but in my past I was an athlete with lots of experience healing the physical injury as well.

⭐️There is overlap⭐️

When I tore my ACL, my surgeon said the repair had bolstered it so much that my injured knee was now stronger than my good knee. Effectively, the repair brought the rupture to a new level of strength, stronger than ever before.

This can also happen relationally when you are intentional with how you bolster the repair. When both people come to the table with curiosity, effort, openness, and compassion, a beautiful repair can be created that is stronger than ever. On the flipside, if people don’t come to the table with those positive ingredients—just like with an injury to the physical body—the relationship may never find the repair, and it may limp along or become disabled from that point forward.

Relatable?
