Whether you are single, dating, or in a committed partnership, you have the power to gain insight into how your past is impacting your present. We learn about relationships from our families of origin, primary caregivers, past partners, and the culture around us. Many times, what we internalize is hard to see, regardless of how insightful we are, because it just feels like our normal. When I work with my clients, I am listening for invisible strings that connect what can feel like isolated incidents into more cohesive, connected themes.
