But when you put that puzzle piece with other pieces things begin to fit together and start making a little more sense it is not until you have all the pieces connected that the bigger picture finally emerges.
One behavior by a toxic person may not make sense to you, but when you put that behavior with others, things begin to fit together and start making a little more sense.

Are you one, like myself that makes or has made decisions in your life based on how you were "feeling" at the time?
Those who have been blessed with the emotionally wired personality will struggle with this because our emotions are so strong. The thing with emotions is that they change, and they change often depending on how the dynamics around us change.
Learning to see logic through your feelings can make the difference when making decisions that affect your future.
I had to learn the hard way that logic is a must to consider your future when making decisions.

Good question because when I was where you are, I was asking the exact same thing.

Always follow your intuition they say. Ok, what if we don't know how to recognize our intuition amongst the convoluted words of others. Your body has a built in defense system but overtime it seems to stop working for our good.
What are some signs that you could be receiving from you defense system headquarters? Well, you may feel tense, have circular thoughts, a pit in your stomach, or the sense you should avoid something, some place, or some person
All of these signs (different for different people) may indeed be your bodies natural defense system attempting to keep you safe.
It would be easier to see if it came with a flashing light or an electric shock and then an arrow pointing to the right choice, but it doesn't. Your intuition always comes in neutral, and does not tell you what to do.
WELL UNFORTUNATELY NEITHER THE FLASHING LIGHTS NOR THE ELECTRIC SHOCK HAPPENED IN MY SITUATION AND TADA... I MISSED IT.
Trusting your intuition is something that is learned. There may be mistakes, wrong decision, and opposite directions before you learn how to follow the safe route it is showing you.
Looking for guided support in your healing from unhealthy relationship? The services offered by Dr Heidi can be found in the link below. She has walked through the fire and now helps others do the same.

Guest speakers include 3 of my latest podcast guest.. can you guess who?
After years of doing the up and down, back and forth, taking care of myself, giving it up for others, then back to taking care of myself, I have learned and am thankful to tell you that what I discovered was this…. I ACTUALLY HAVE WAY MORE CONTROL THAN I THOUGHT IT DID.
When things were not going well, I would look to others to support me through it, to fix it for me, and possibly take the blame for it. However, in the end it has always been a result of me slacking in the area of self care and prioritizing myself. The other thing that I learned the hard way was that is was MY responsibility no one else’s. (That part hurt for a while, I was tired, I didn’t want to carry it anymore…..but when you have no other option than to rely on yourself …. You will figure out a way to do it.)
3 DAYS PUTTING MY ATTENTION BACK ON MYSELF AND wallah!
