Emotional pain gets a bad rap; but at least pain actually moves you.
Confusion paralyses you and keeps you stuck. 😳
PAIN HAS A JOB. CONFUSION JUST SITS THERE LIKE A USELESS EX.
Pain is clear, loud, uncomfortable.
When something hurts enough, you do something about it.
You leave, you speak up, you change.
Pain forces action. 🏃♀️
But confusion sucks and keeps you in limbo, saying things to yourself like…
“Maybe I’m overreacting…”
“Maybe it’ll get better…”
“Maybe it’s me…”
“Maybe I just need to try harder…”
And these thoughts keep you stuck in a mental hamster wheel going nowhere fast.
CONFUSION KEEPS YOU IN THE LOOP
Instead of clarity, you’ve got mixed signals, emotional chaos, and about 47 contradictory thoughts all jumbling around in your poor overwhelmed head. 🤯
So what do you do? Nothing except for freeze, overthink, and stay.
WHY THIS HITS HARD IN RELATIONSHIPS (AND LIFE IN GENERAL)
You’re not staying because it’s good.
You’re staying because it’s not bad enough to leave, but not good enough to feel safe… and confusing enough to keep you second-guessing yourself. 🥺
That middle ground is the danger zone, because pain would’ve had you out the door already.
I’ve had a few clients say they just wish their partner would cheat on them or do something bad enough so they could leave… but how much worse do you need to feel to leave a shitty relationship when you’ve known for ages you’re flogging a dead horse? 🐎
CONFUSION = DISCONNECTION FROM YOURSELF
When you’re confused long enough, something worse happens…you stop trusting yourself.
You override your gut, ignore red flags and look outside yourself for answers.
And now you’re not just stuck in the situation…you’re also stuck in your own head. 😖
SO HOW DO YOU GET OUT OF IT?
You get out of confusion by changing your emotional state first, this then helps the foggy-brain lift and clarity kicks back in. 🤩
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique/tapping) is one of my fave tools for this because it interrupts the spiral, breaks the loop you’re in and gets you out of your head and back into your body, where your truth lives.
Once the confusion lifts, the answer becomes clear as fuck.
