Should you do the work and heal unhealthy relationship patterns BEFORE entering a relationship OR can your partner help you heal?
In this episode, I am debunking three common myths about healing in relationships because believing them can hold you back or make you think that your relationship is doomed when it's simply not the case.
I'll be getting vulnerable and sharing some personal examples about areas that I'm still healing in my current relationship, as well as what is required from you and your partner if you want to have a relationship that facilitates growth and healing for you both.
In this episode:
- 02:20 - Why there’s no such thing as being “fully healed”
- 03:50 - The difference between a toxic relationship and a relationship that experiences rough patches
- 06:16 My personal struggle with conflict in my relationship
- 06:43 - How childhood trauma can manifest as an unhealthy coping mechanism in relationships
- 08:39 - The core step you need to take to stop attracting emotionally unavailable people
- 09:25 - Can your partner help you heal?
