Many people are attracted to partners who reflect unresolved issues from their childhood, often leading to dysfunctional relationships. It's important to recognize these patterns.

The roots of low self-esteem may stem from a lack of unconditional love in childhood, which can deeply affect one's self-perception. Self-esteem is essentially the reputation you have with yourself, and it can be damaged if you don't live up to your own moral code, which is the same code you hold others to.

It's important to rewrite the narratives we carry, identifying counterexamples that show we are lovable and that trust can exist.

Children often unconsciously take on roles in their families, such as the hero or scapegoat, which can lead to difficulties shedding these roles later in life.

People often choose partners who reflect their unfinished business from childhood, which can lead to repeating unhealthy patterns in relationships.

Trauma can lock sensitive parts of us away, leading to feelings of worthlessness and fear, which can trigger extreme protective roles that interfere with our lives.

Breakups can deeply affect individuals, especially if they lack closure or understanding of why the relationship ended, leading to a painful process of storytelling and reliving the past.

Many people lack a healthy relationship with self-awareness, often failing to recognize their emotional states until it's too late, which can lead to poor decision-making.

Healthy relationships often arise from individuals who have done their inner work or experienced minimal trauma in their upbringing.
