RELATIONSHIP

A dialogue with J.
  J's relationship had just broken up. Many issues were covered in this dialogue, including the following:

  • Patterns of feeling unworthy in relationship
  • What does being 'in love' mean?
  • What can I do when I'm in the midst of mental and emotional turmoil?
  • How do I break that pattern of attracting the 'wrong' people? View

A dialogue with L.
    This is a long and somewhat unstructured dialogue that occurred over a period of months. L. was having mixed feelings about her relationship with B, which seemed to be giving her more suffering than joy. Here are some of the issues raised:

  • Wanting my boyfriend to be different
  • He keeps telling me he will change
  • I feel good when I'm on my own, drained when I've been with him
  • I'm still with him because I'm learning something
  • The process of taking responsibility; do relationships have to be so difficult?
  • I have so much love to give, but it feels like I'm pouring it into a black hole
  • I'm slipping back into old patterns again
  • When am I contributing to co-dependent behavior and when am I just being open and understanding? View

CAREER
A dialogue with B.
In this short interaction, B. touched on many questions many of us ask: who am I? Do I have to let go of some things in order to achieve my desires? Can I have it all - my passion (career) and connections with others? View
