What does it really mean to "come back to yourself" after you've abandoned your own truth? In this deeply personal conversation with licensed mental health counselor Lisa Klein, we explore the nuanced journey of self-abandonment and reclamation that so many of us experience throughout life.

Lisa offers a refreshing perspective on attachment styles, debunking the myth that we're permanently locked into anxious, avoidant, or disorganized patterns. "Your attachment style is not permanent," she assures, explaining how our relationship dynamics can evolve through self-awareness and intentional choices. We examine why we're often magnetically drawn to relationships that mirror our unhealed wounds—"People are drawn to certain people because they show you something that needs to heal in yourself."

The conversation moves through practical strategies for reclaiming your voice after manipulative relationships, with Lisa emphasizing the power in validating your own emotions: "My feelings are valid, regardless of your intentions." We discuss how true connection requires holding space for different perspectives without trying to convince others of your truth—a challenging but liberating practice.

Perhaps most poignantly, Lisa reminds us that healing shouldn't become another performance-based achievement: "Don't be so focused on healing that you miss out on your life." This wisdom invites us to approach our journey with compassion, understanding that imperfection is part of being human.

Whether you're navigating relationship patterns, recovering from emotional manipulation, or simply trying to reconnect with your authentic self, this conversation offers both validation and practical wisdom for the journey. Listen now, and remember that unconditional self-love is the foundation of all healing.
