Beneath the surface of our romantic experiences lies powerful information about ourselves. Our upbringing, family dynamics and past relationships strongly influence what we find attractive as well as our ability to develop intimacy and safety with prospective or current partners. Too often, old wounds seep into romantic interactions and perpetuate unconscious, unsatisfying patterns that lead to stress and disconnection. If we do not want unresolved pain to dictate our love stories, we must turn inward and examine our inner landscapes. In doing so, we increase our awareness and develop the skills needed to improve our chances of finding and keeping relationships that fulfill us.
