We explore the catalysts that lead to change. We explore the fear of the unknown versus the pain of staying, the importance of the relationship with oneself, and the social stigmas and judgments that can keep people stuck. We also delve into the sunk cost fallacy, the impact of therapeutic breakthroughs, and the role of personal growth and self-discovery in relationship dynamics.

Finally, we touch on the challenges that arise during the holiday season and emphasize the importance of self-care. In this episode we will also explore what can act as a catalyst for change that can move someone to create changes to exit this kind of relationship in a safe and empowered way.
