1.   Any difficulties we have in relationships often stem back to a pattern… embedded in our childhood experiences

Relationships can be challenging for all of us, but for some the struggle goes beyond the norm. This can occur when one’s self is compromised at an early age.

In my practice as a Healing Facilitator, I have seen the roots of this problem embedded in early childhood experiences. In situations where one’s parent has enormous personal needs, they often look to their child for validation of their existence. A child, in this circumstance, is placed at the service of the parent rather than being contained and reflected by the parent. This sets up a paradigm for the child of self-sacrifice in relationships.

Such a pattern often continues throughout the child’s life, making them “other-focused.” They serve the “other” at the expense of their self.
