"I'm losing myself in this relationship."
"If your best friend told you 'I am sacrificing my self-respect and losing myself in this relationship' how would you respond?"
"The reason we do relationships is to feel stronger and to compliment our wellness."
"What can I do to make this better for you?"
"How can I show up in a supportive way with you?
"When I hear 'he wants to change my personality' it doesn't sound like there's a lot of wiggle room there."
"Trauma logs itself in our brain and it also lodges in the fibers of our body."
