Have compassion for the part of you that's clinging to what doesn't serve you. It's easy to resent yourself for knowing better and not having the courage to do better, but it's hard to feel safe to make a change when that change is met with shame, blame, and harshness. What if I told you that the anxiety, hesitancy, and sadness you're experiencing are valid? What if I told you it's natural to crave someone or something your nervous system has grown attuned to? What if I told you that you don't have to force a decision you aren't ready to make? The thought of letting go and reconstructing your life without a job, person, or situation that's currently an integral piece of it is painful enough. The last thing you need is to beat yourself up for being human about it.
