Relationships are tough and most folks haven’t had the privilege of healthy role modelling. Unfortunately, without the best of parental role-modelling, most people are left with a sink-or-swim task of learning to navigate the relationship dance—almost invariably stepping on their own and their partner’s toes along the way.

All too often, best intentioned beautiful people end up finding themselves in a rough-and-rugged bumper-car adventure as they unfortunately sabotage their own and their beloved partner’s happiness and well-being (not to mention the potential impact on innocent others).

RETHINKING BREAKING UP…

Before you throw in the towel, not knowing where to turn, there are some very simple things you can do.

There May Be Hope

The great news is that even when it feels like all hope is lost, with guidance and a lot of courage, the boat really can be turned around!

“Attachment is a very complex thing. When things go sideways, they can get ugly and in ways that on the surface make no sense. However, when we understand the primal vulnerability involved in opening our heart fully to another, even the ugliness makes sense.” – Dr. Theresa Nicassio
