If you notice a repetitive theme of people responding to you in a dysfunctional way, especially in your close circle of family and friends, consider that you may be tolerating or attracting unhealthy dynamics, and seek to change in ways that edify and improve your relationships. Ask yourself, How do I need to change to no longer tolerate or attract the dysfunctional response? What part of me is putting up with unhealthy treatment, and why? Often it is a child part of you that fears losing a relationship, however unhealthy that relationship may be. Our child parts need to know that a relationship with the adult self is enough as we figure out how to exert personal power in our inner circle. A healthy self relationship has a ripple effect, changing the ways that others relate to us.
