We desire. Yeah, we desire the control. And let me say the part of you that was immediately like, I don't want relationships again is actually a healthy part. It's good to be still after a breakup. Sometimes people jump right out there and they go pick a new person, different name, different face, same personality, same cycle. So it's an indication of healthiness to pause.

And then it's an indication that you've started healing when a part of you now desires relationship again, right? Because before you didn't want it. Now you're like, maybe it would be nice. So that's your heart starting to open back up again. And to not sabotage it. I know you talk about running, especially if you feel moved by them because it doesn't feel safe.

But while part of our healing happens individually, like by ourselves, and part of it happens in therapy, a part of your heart's healing will only take place actually in healthy, loving relationship. Right. That's when you will really grasp some of the triggers to learn how to show up and not run. It's going to happen in that process.

And so giving yourself the patience and permission to try again, to not let the ex rob you of the realities of love. Right.

And a part of our healing community is so important. And so that's one of the things I love about you and Gail sharing her journey. Yeah. of what a difference it made for you to show up as sister, as both truth teller, but also with that compassion. Because when we're in those moments, we need to be reminded who we are and reminded of our worth.

And so what better people to do that than people who genuinely care about you? Absolutely. You need somebody there to tell you the truth. That's right.

So that you don't end up with the lie of, I'm worthy, I'm not attractive enough, I'm not interesting enough. All of the lies of not enoughness.

Yes, yes. So it can disrupt your life of how you thought your life was going to be. You know, you imagined a future with this person and felt secure in that. And so a part of it is what you think about, not only in terms of the other person, but your picture of yourself. And so one of the things I like to shift for people is not thinking about the ending of all relationships as a failure.
