“I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced to it.”
– Maya Angelou
Relationships are hard.
You find yourself being defensive, not trusting yourself with others, not trusting that others want you in their lives, or will stay. You feel guarded and on high alert, ready for the next blow of disappointment.
We all enter the world in relationship to others.
Our early caregivers, family, friends, and romantic partners throughout our life shape us and our understanding of the world. Our interactions with others impact our ability to forge the relationships we have dreamed of having.
Past relationship challenges do not have to control your future.
If you have had relationships that make it hard for you to trust yourself or others, this does not have to be something that defines you or keeps you stuck.
Exploring and understanding the impact and complexity of the injury and acknowledging your strength to survive can put you on a journey toward life-giving relationships.
