Unhealthy Thinking Patterns You Need To Unlearn
The idea that you are half of a whole
While you hear of notions that finding a great partner leads to a feeling of “being complete,” those very ideas could also cause the false notion that a single person is “incomplete.” As Dr. Jackson puts it, “Thinking that being in a relationship or being loved by someone else will make us whole is false. Self-esteem is just that, it’s esteem you build yourself. You can’t rely on someone else for your self-esteem or to complete you. It’s required for a healthy foundation.”
