Takeaways
"Imagine that every
single time a person who has toxic traits does something that's
rude or mean or downright abusive. It's just like if you just stand
in your square, you just stand there in presence, in love and
faith. Every time they do something. That's disrespectful. Imagine
that they just pushed themselves farther away from you. They made a
withdraw from the emotional bank account. Now they're going to have
to make a bunch of positive deposits into that emotional bank
account to earn your trust to get close to you again." -
