Hello Cohort! I just re-listened to the half-hour video on how the Past Impacts our relationships, and it’s so so good!! Such truth which, if absorbed and applied, can alleviate so much pain. Here are my notes:
1. “Relationships can be a path of discovery!” We can discover things about the other person, and discover things about ourselves too. (Wow, what an empowering idea!)
2. “The Past is Present in intimate relationships and all other choices and relationships.”
(I wonder how my past and issues affect my work choice…. That would be great to explore in dialogue.)3. Dialogue helps us engage, differentiate (from fantasy): understand that
* The people I made up are not the people who actually exist
* The person my partner made up is not me
Then we can connect.
(I personally find it so reassuring and protective and correct and exonerating that the person my ex-spouse made up is not me. It just isn’t.)4. We all have the same need, which is essentially for resonance. (I don’t know what they meant by resonance, but I’m really curious.)
