Why Is It So Hard To Leave?

It’s hard to leave because your brain wants what is familiar because it believes it’s keeping you alive by keeping you with what you know because it’s scared of the unfamiliar, of the unknown.

Do you know the strength and resilience it takes to stay in a situation that could kill you because your brain wants to protect you from out there?

I really encourage you to start repeating this to yourself “I have phenomenal coping skills” because it takes strength and resilience to continue to get up out of bed when you can’t cope anymore. “I have incredible coping skills” Soothe yourself that you can do this, remind yourself that you can choose and when you are ready you’ll leave.
