9 Ways to Tell If Your Relationship Is A Healthy Slow Cooker Or A Hijackal Pressure Cooker

Summary: <p><strong>Who wants to live in a pressure cooker? </strong></p><p><strong>No one goes out and says, "I want to live with anxiety, hyper-vigilance, stress, and uncertainty. Give me that relationship!" </strong></p><p><strong>Well, no one who cares about themselves does, right? </strong></p><br><p>Today, I'm using the contrasts between a slow cooker and a pressure cooker to highlight just what I mean. Most of us have one or the other--maybe, both--in our kitchens. We know what they do. </p><br><p>Have you ever thought about slow cookers and pressure cookers in terms of how relationships start, grow, cook, or burn? It makes it quite clear! </p><br><p><strong>Healthy relationships grow</strong>. They're gently creating depth of flavor, slowly. </p><p><strong>#Hijackal relationships degrade</strong> and love to reduce even the strongest fiber to nothing. </p><br><p>Which relationship sounds better to you? Less heat over more time to savor the flavor? Or, greater heat over less time to break things down? </p><br><p>Are you <strong>genuinely captivated by your partner,</strong> or f<strong>eeling controlled and a captive</strong>? Big difference! </p><br><p>Think deeply about these points today, even though you may think they are presented in a more lighthearted way. These are important distinctions that can lead to you being more able to discern whether your relationship has hope for being healthy. You need to know that! </p><br><p>Big hugs!</p><p>Rhoberta</p><br><p><strong>HIGHLIGHTS OF TODAY'S EPISODE:</strong></p><ul> <li><strong>Healthy relationships get better with time</strong></li> <li><strong>Hijackal relationships have too much pressure</strong></li> <li><strong>How to tell the difference between healthy relationships and unhealthy relationship</strong></li> <li><strong>Nine ways to recognize there is too much pressure, too much anxiety</strong></li> <li><strong>How Hijackals trick you into thinking all is well and you are loved</strong></li> <li>How to tell if you're in a narcissistic relationship, a controlling relationship, a potentially traumatic relationship</li> </ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Want clarity, insights, strategies, and support from me, Dr. Rhoberta Shaler? We can talk: </strong><a href="https://forrelationshiphelp.com/join" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Introductory session for new clients, $97</strong></a></p><br><p><strong>CONNECT WITH ME: I invite you to like my pages and follow for further help with recognizing toxic relationships, realizing their impact, realigning your life, and recovering your self-confidence and ability to love and trust again.</strong></p><br><p><strong>FOLLOW DR.
