The question that comes up so often around abusive relationships - "why don’t people just leave?"
There are actually two things I am going to talk about. I would not call them mirrors of each other, but parallel tracks. They are not the same thing, but they share similarities in regards to how we might live life. Those two things are fitness and mental wellness. (not a big shock, right?!)
I’m not gonna be giving you statistics or scientific brain science here… I’m gonna putting this in metaphorical terms.
This episode will be helpful whether you are someone on the outside looking in or the person on the inside. And I need to stress the zero judgement part. A) I’ve been the person in an abusive relationship, and B) regardless of the topic, we have statistical data that proves judgement leads to downward spirals but compassion leads to upward spirals. What I hope to achieve today is more compassion around this topic.
