Podcast Ep 5: When People Say “Maybe You Should Leave”
When I was in the thick of Relationship Anxiety, comments like:
"maybe you should leave"
"maybe he's just not the right person for you"
"you're young, maybe you just need to explore"
were enough to send me into a gut-wrenching spiral of anxiety. In this episode, I get to the root of why this is so painful and also how you can respond.
