In today’s video, we are going to explore a quiet crisis in modern relationships: the erosion of self. We often think that if we just give a little more, anticipate his needs a little better, and smooth over every conflict, we will secure the love we crave. But in my work as a therapist, I see the opposite happen. When you sacrifice your happiness for the relationship, you eventually resent the relationship—and the person you sacrificed for.

Hook

"We live in a culture that often teaches women that to be loved is to be 'good'—to be accommodating, to say yes, to smooth the path for others. But I want to invite you into a different way of thinking. In my work, I see a recurring pattern: the very things women do to keep a relationship safe are often the things that make the relationship lose its vitality. Today, we are looking at 5 critical mistakes—not to judge yourself, but to understand the patterns so you can choose differently. Because you cannot have a vibrant relationship if you are not fully present in it."
