I heard lots of people say that it took a long time for things to sink in. For myself, I have definately been around this roller coaster before, and all my issues with myself that lead me to believe the relationship I was in was loving and healthy when it was anything but! I have been trying to sort it all in my head for YEARS! Its only really been over the last 7/8 months that it finally began to take effect.
I finally moved all that knowledge from my mind, and placed it firmly within my heart and
worked it.
I like this analogy...
''... its like going to the doctor because we are ill, taking our medication home and ignoring our doctors advice, and not taking the meds...''
You've begun taking the steps, now you've gotta start applying what you have learnt and see the results for yourself.
