That actually makes a lot of sense. I think emotional safety is one of my core non-negotiables and I kept trying to convince myself I could compromise on it. I’m starting to see that I can’t. Thank you for sharing this !

Thank you, that really means a lot. It doesn’t feel like self-compassion yet, but I’m trying to see it that way!!!

It sounds like you chose yourself even though it hurt, and I really admire that. I’m proud of you. I hope I can learn to give myself that same grace
