I hope that you're encouraged. If you're starting out earlier in the middle of it, stay the course. It's worth it. You can identify those patterns. What happened? How did it make you feel? And if you don't have the words, don't shame that. Just say, I don't know what I feel. And then look at those words and which ones kind of hit you in your body and your heart the most. Put that down, the thinking, the thoughts, and then the actions ultimately so we can believe new healthy truths as Andy was talking about in our identity and walk new healthy practices as we learn to have healthy relationships like never before.
