This week I had the privilege of listening to Dr. Sue Johnson break down the barriers to love at the Externship Training Conference for Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples. She talked about how being loved and attached to our partner is our birth right. It is what we are evolutionarily programmed to experience and that when we get off course, we are often off balance not only with our partner but within ourselves. So next time you find yourself feeling stuck, confused, or rejected by your partner try to dig deeper. Ask yourself what attachment need is not being met? And further, see if you can ask for what you need from others? You might just get what you’re longing for.
