1.Lysa presents eleven relational red flags to help readers identify why they're feeling uneasy. Before you look back at the list, which one or two flags surfaced most strongly as you read? Why did those particular ones land hardest?

2.Walk through a few of the red flags together as a group. For each one discussed, ask: Is this red flag obvious when you're inside the relationship, or does it tend to become clear only in hindsight? Why might that be?

3.Lysa emphasizes that identifying red flags is not about building a case against someone or becoming hypervigilant — it's about paying attention. How do you hold that tension in a specific relationship you're currently navigating?
