Until I understood patterned behaviors, I often felt helpless and frustrated in my relationships. I assumed the same values drove both of us, despite much evidence to the contrary. "How can he be doing this???, was my frequent refrain. I thought like a victim and I was a victim.
I believed that if someone really loved me, they would know what I needed. I also believed that my loved one should want to give it to me. Often I didn't even know exactly what "it" was. I knew I meant well in relationship, and assumed the same of my partners. I accepted empty apologies and promises of change again and again. I felt alive when fighting and dead at other times. I wanted all good things to come to me, but without negotiation and process.
These were my relationship patterns, and they were doing me. I didn't know it then, but much of the frustration and pain I felt was from self abandonment. I put the locus of control outside of self. This condemns us to be perpetually out of the "flow". This thing called flow is an internal state.
I was too invested in a notion called romantic love. I resisted what was, demanding it be otherwise. I get tired just thinking about it. Flow rejuvenates and resistance to flow is tiring.
There are ways of relating that work better than others, and there are ways of thinking that bring joy back to relating. This tape set is about finding these new ways in your own relationship. They would also be useful for self evaluation between relationships.
