healthy friendships involve not agreeing with every decison the other person makes. they involve telling you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. it comes from a loving place of support for each other’s well-being. true friendships ground you, they don’t enable you
my relationship has made me feel a lot more confident. and that’s not to say my relationship is the key to my confidence. it’s saying my partner has really encouraged me, not only in my looks, but in going after what i love, speaking up, being me. that’s beautiful.
If you hear gentle parenting and automatically assume it means a lack of discipline, thats because you equate abuse to discipline. You should unpack that in therapy.
I am very treats-motivated like I get myself to do a lot of things by buying myself a little treat after. I think this works very well!! my bank account does not agree.
