EP 425: How to Know if Something in a Relationship is a Dealbreaker with Sammie

<p dir="ltr">This coaching call is about understanding the reason we may be doubting a relationship. Today’s caller, Sammie, has doubts about her relationship and is wondering if she should stay in it. Christine guides her to change her perception and look at the situation differently.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">[For show notes, go here: <a href= "http://christinehassler.com/episode425">Christinehassler.com/episode425</a>].</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">There are many people who would be better off by leaving relationships or situations, but they decide to stay. They only stick around because the devil they know is often better than the devil they don’t. They feel there is no risk in staying in the relationship because it is familiar.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Then, there are those who probably “should” hang in there a while longer, or stick it out to see what happens, but they run sooner.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">We need to work on switching those things around so that when we know something is toxic or not for us, we can make a conscious decision to leave. Or, when we are not totally sure, we see some great things about a relationship, but there is also a part of us that wants to run because the intimacy feels scary. But that is the point in a relationship when it could offer us great learning and healing if we could just stick it out.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Is your pattern to stick it out too long or to run too soon? If you are sticking it out too long, maybe it is time to go. If you are running too soon, maybe it is time to stay. Be honest with yourself when you are looking for a reason to get out of a relationship.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Christine is considering making some changes to the show and she wants your feedback.
