Relationships

We live our lives in relationships. All relationships are about union and separation, projection and forgiveness. We are awakened internally in relationships by becoming familiar with our shadow. Our shadow is made up of parts (such as anger, sadness, neediness, aggression fear, sexuality, etc.) of our being that we experience as unacceptable. Sometimes our shadow can be rooted in shame (Shame says, that, no matter what I do, I am always defective. Guilt is that, when I do something wrong, I can make amends, and things will be right again.) Therefore all counseling or therapy is about healing in relationships. We can be hurt in relationships and we can heal in relationships.

Our thoughts and decisions about life come from relationships. We then have feelings and generate belief systems about how life treats us. If you have a pattern of dysfunctional relationships, then you live in a dysfunctional, unconscious, hypnotic trance.

“Relationships don’t die; they are destroyed by unconscious behaviors.”
