Past & Present Sh!t
This week, we talked about ways in which your past relationships can affect your current one. Not just previous romantic relationships, either: we touch on the schema that may have been developed by your childhood relationship with primary caregivers, the patterns that were downloaded to your perception through your experiences in this world, and the ways in which your unresolved issues may play out again and again if you don’t do the work. The work, of course, being therapy.
As you all know, we are huge proponents of individual and couples therapy here on the show. If you listened to the episode, you heard not only how our guest is dealing with the ways in which his past relationship is presenting obstacles to his current one but you heard (perhaps not for the first time) the way that Marko’s and my previous relationships affect our marriage. We share all of this with you because we want you to know that it is a phenomenon that we can all relate to. It is part of being human and relating to another one. Don’t let your past ruin your present…or your future. Get some help. Work through your issues. And become a brighter, fuller person!
