Lost myself in relationships.
I used to lose myself in relationships. I looked for love and validation in all the wrong places. I didn't have a voice. I thought my needs were a problem — and that expressing them would disappoint people.
So I kept it together on the outside while quietly falling apart on the inside. Eventually, it caught up.
My feelings weren't the problem. My needs weren't too much. Being real wasn't something to hide — it was the thing that changed everything.
That's the work I do with clients now. Not just talk about it. Not just understand it. Actually change it.
