RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS |
|
|
Relationships can greatly
enhance as well as complicate
our lives. We may feel confused
about why we seem to have
similar issues and struggles
with many of the significant
people we encounter throughout
life. Often, without knowing it, we
deal with others in the ways
we were taught in childhood.
Unresolved emotional issues
from the past can also impact
our ways of relating in the present.
Uncovering our beliefs, feelings
and experiences regarding
relationships can help us to
understand and change outmoded
and ineffective patterns. We are
then more able to respond (rather
than just react) when engaging
with others. |
