    I’ve been learning about the brain and some psychology, it really helps to be able to see between the lines of what people think or their motivations and insecurities. I’ve always had a bit of a read people gift (thanks childhood trauma!). But learning it this way also helped me kill the people pleasing side of me that was super toxic (again, thabks childhood trauma).

    I don’t recommend the trauma pathway, but I do recommend learning about the brain, you could pick up enough skills to see what’s happening internally, for someone. I get it now, how psychologists can tell what’s going on with people, without them really saying.
