Eating For Your Mental Health w/ Kami Laney

Trying to Fix Everything is Ruining your Relationships

In today's episode I share a bit about how I learned the hard way the negative impact my thought processes were having on my closest friends and family. But also how I managed to overcome it. When we develop compassion for others, we are filled with so much more joy and patience. Learning when to listen and comfort and when to provide advice is a critical skill that could save your relationships. So I share one great tip on how to start developing this skill. If you have any questions or there's a topic you'd like me to cover, email me here: brokentobreathtaking@gmail.com

Why Victims Stay In Abusive Relationships

Today we're answering a heavier question: why do victims stay in or return to abusive relationships? While there are many other reasons aside from the ones that I brought up, I hope that the ones I listed will help nourish a sense of compassion for those struggling with abuse. This is an emotionally complex issue and every survivor has their own personal reasons for staying or returning. Most of our information that comes on this topic is centered around Domestic Violence relationships. I tried to give the perspective of those from other forms of abuse. Be it from a friend, family member, or partner. Particularly if it was a situation that is not talked about often (such as those with a male victim, a female perpetrator, or a Queer relationship). Hopefully raising this dialogue will give voice to the voiceless, rather than shooting them down further. Please keep any comment sections respectful and kind, be considerate of the experiences of others. If you have a story to share, I am more than happy to listen, support, and provide you with resources to heal, just email me at brokentobreathtaking@gmail.com.
