INSIGHT

Dependency Paradox Frees Independence

The dependency paradox: feeling secure in love frees you to be more independent.
Secure partnership amplifies your true self rather than shrinking it.

ADVICE

Use Precise Emotional Language

Use specific "tree" words instead of broad labels like anxious to better identify feelings.
Say "part of me feels... but..." to name feelings and remind yourself they aren't permanent.

ADVICE

Align Your Self-Talk With What You Want

Phrase your inner narrative so the desired future logically connects to current reality.
Replace blanket statements like "no good men" with, "I haven't met the right person yet, but they exist."
