    Dysfunctional Families: Going Home Can Be Different When You Change Yourself

    Going home to your dysfunctional family can be different when you change yourself. You can't force them to change or to understand the dynamics. They will likely continue to do what they always have, but your responses can be different.    There are some important things you can do to gain a new perspective. You don't have to engage in the same interactions you have had in the past. You don't have to have the same conversations. You don't have to be triggered in the same way.  Going home to your dysfunctional family after changing yourself can change your life. Do you want to know how?

    Abusive Relationship Cycles: Pulling the Rug Out

    Abusive relationships have cycles. Things get better, then they escalate, and then they get bad. This crazy-making pattern adds to the confusion and self-doubt that is part of emotional, verbal, physical, spiritual, and other types of abuse. The more you know about what is going on, the more you can be empowered to take care of yourself. The abuser has power over you by getting you to question your perceptions. Understanding the cycles allows you to make sense of the roller coaster and maintain your strong self as an abuse survivor.   Part of the abusive relationship cycle is pulling the rug out. Watch this video to identify this strategy used to throw you off balance.   #abusiverelationships #emotionalabuse #emotionalabusesurvivor #crazymaking #abusesurvivors    Website: https://www.changemyrelationship.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMyRelationship YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@changemyrelationship Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ud9w5C9N0_E

    Self-fulfilling prophecies are predictions that cause themselves to become true due to the behavior they generate. They affect your life and relationships in more ways than you realize.

It's a simple but powerful thing to do.   Karla Downing's passion is to see individuals, marriages, and families set free from dysfunction, scriptural misunderstanding, and emotional pain personally and relationally.
