How to Apply This
-
Discover your wounds.
You are the only one who can complete yourself. Discovering your childhood traumas can give you an insightful look into patterns of your past relationships and mistakes. Recognize your fears and embrace your flaws. -
Learn what traits complement yours.
Accepting our wounds can help us understand why we pick the wrong people. Decide your non-negotiables and accept the positive and negative traits you find attractive in someone, even if they are similar to your parents or caregivers. -
Don’t fall into the illusion.
When you start dating someone new, be honest with yourself and decide if you can accept some of their behavioral patterns in the long run. What at first feels right may later become the dealbreaker. For example, if you’re an introvert, decide if you can embrace someone more outgoing and sociable than you.
