Your subconscious mind isn’t concerned about your emotional health, happiness, or sense of fulfillment with life. It’s only concerned with ensuring your continued physical survival and safety. It keeps you moving in the direction of what you already know, even if what you already know is abuse, invalidation, narcissism, or gaslighting. Whatever you’re used to feels like home, and there will always be a draw to that, even if home was hellish.
