Sacred Change
The secret of relationship, I believe, is about knowing who you are from day one. Knowing what happened to you after day one and how it is affecting you and others throughout your life into now. I believe, that most if not all the reasons why we have conflicts, is about unhealed childhood wounds. I have found with my clients, and in my life, that nearly all the problems in relationships have to do with unhealed childhood issues. When wounds are not healed they are projected onto others and until we can own what is our behavior, we cannot get along and we cannot evolve, thus the wars, internalized oppression, that is projected onto others. It doesn 't matter what your faith is.
I am a student of Kabbalah, I still have a childhood, like everybody else, and most, if not all families are unwittingly dysfunctional wound creators while simultaneously giving love and support. Our spiritual work, I call it spirituality 101, is to assess our wounds, own them, express them emotionally, understand them and grow to change them. We may never forget some of the things that have happened to us, sexual abuse, war, death of parents, these being but a few of the difficult things to remember, but we can still heal the damage and thereby project LIGHT instead of a wounded history!
There are many ways to heal our childhood wounds but it can take a lifetime to resolve some of them completely. I am astounded by the many ways, the extremely creative ways, that my subconscious has
Relationship satisfaction is an important part of romantic relationships. A lack of satisfaction can lead to consequences in other areas of life and eventually, the destruction of the relationship. For example, job performance is heavily influenced by romantic relationship satisfaction. In a study by Greenhaus and Beutell (1985), they argued that poor satisfaction leads to poor job performance and vice versa. They stated this was to because these two spheres are “interdependent.” Satisfaction can also influence quality of health. Conflict in a marital relationship is associated with higher heart rates and blood pressure (Broadwell & Light, 1999; Ewart, Taylor, Kaemer & Agras, 1991; Flor, Breitenstein, Birbaumer & Furst 1995; Frankish & Linden, 1996; Kiecolt-Glaser, 1993; Mayne, O’Leary, McCrady, Contrada & Labouvie, 1997; Morell & Apple, 1990; Shwartz, Slater & Birchler, 1994; Thomsen & Gilbert, 1998). It is also strongly associated with depression and depressed syndromes (Beach, Fincham & Katz, 1998; Fincham & Beach, 1999). This relationship between marital conflict and depression seems to be bidirectional meaning depression is not only a result of conflict but also is caused by the conflict (Beach, et. al., 1998; Fincham & Beach, 1999). Because a lack of relationship satisfaction can negatively affect so many important areas of life, it is important to understand what influences the level of satisfaction held in romantic relationships.
I don’t remember much of my childhood. It’s been said that when you experience trauma, your brain has a defense mechanism to help you forget it ever happened. This is both helpful and hurtful in terms of carrying on. I don’t remember much of my mother before her alcoholism began to control her. I wish I could remember what she was like; I’ve been told she was a wonderful mother, though it’s very hard for me to believe that now.

I just finish watching a movie that brought up so many memories of my past. The memories were not about my sexual abuse as a child but the feelings and actions I took on myself after the abuse. The confusion and the anger that bled with me every step I made, and how I forgot who I was to became someone unrecognizable. Its like something died inside me and I was transformed completely into this unrestrained and lifeless person.
In a lifetime, a person will associate with many people, building stronger bonds with some friends or family member over others. Over time, some relationships will grow while others fade, however it is possible to preserve those connections that mean the most. There are qualities that will build the relationship stronger or break it down. Qualities such as forgiveness, communication, and respect can be the defining traits that make a healthy lifetime relationship.
My relationship development paper is about a girl named Breana Young; our friendship was for about 3 years. The current stage is terminated.
A healthy personal relationship indicates close connections between people, formed by emotional association and interactions. These relationships often grow from and are maintained by interactive experiences or connections. Healthy relationships are an essential element of health. There are three kinds of relationships: Family, Friends, and Partnership. (Meadows) All three are crucial in maintaining a healthy environment and solid foundation in the ministry as well as within the family. A friendship between leaders, the congregants and people of the community is vital. However, this journey is not to make friends, but to be friendly.
After reading your story, it is a reoccurring situation that has been brought to the attention of many relational theorists. Studies have shown romantic relationships are challenged and go through various stages of relational maintenance that may not always be positive. However, the conceptualization of negativity in romantic relationships is often dismissed. As a society, there has been the glorification of love and how romantic relationships should play out. Whether it is through the representations featured in literature, film, music or other media platforms, the concepts of soul mates, “love conquers all”, and the idea of “meant to be” are ideologies that have led people to believe in an idealized and perfected construct of what love in romantic relationships is. Society has convinced itself through the portrayals of love that “mind-blowing, transcendent romantic relationships” are a “normal part of living” (Klosterman, 3). People spend lifetimes searching for love and once found they will do all they can to hold onto it because love is perceived as the solution to people’s problems and the key to true happiness. However, this conceptualization of love leads people to fabricate relationships based on “fake love” (Klosterman, 3). The idea that love and attraction toward a romantic partner is a never ending leads to the ideology relationships are immortal to termination. Simply, romantic love is considered to be untouchable, but this is a disillusioned perception. There is
We as humans all cope with our memories in varying ways, to varying degrees of success. The detrimental effects our memories have on us is by no means easy to explain, but is the central issue of Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved. The novel goes into the two main ways we deal with our pasts and how each affects the person’s mental well being. You could be a Paul D, who locks his memories and pain in his “tin tobacco box heart” so he almost doesn’t even remember them, or a Sethe who deals with and moves on from her pain, remembering the past but also getting caught in it. She demonstrates that while it may be initially easier to just forget the past, everyone must come to grips with what they have seen and what they have done.

The key to successful relationships is the ability to express one’s thoughts, ideas and feelings clearly, utilizing respectful language and behaviour without undue anxiety at the expense of others. Assertive communication is the skill to convey messages to patients, families, and other colleagues in a positive, caring, nonjudgmental, and direct manner that aims to acknowledge the needs of others and oneself (Balzer Riley, 2012, p. 4).
on age-related tendencies (Lechnyr). The preschool period involves the use of negotiation and bargaining. For example, four-year-olds are not distressed by separation if they and their caregiver have already negotiated a shared plan for the separation and reunion (Lechnyr). These social skills as explained by Lechnyr, later develop through the years as the child transforms to an adult . As children move into the school years at about six years old, most develop partnership with parents, in which each partner is willing to compromise in order to maintain a gratifying
Some time during my elementary education my mom told me that when accompanied by pain, experiences or ideas are committed stronger to memory, which is why in college she would memorize presentations whilst dunking her feet in tubs of ice water. While the pain she was speaking of was physical, through experience I’ve come to realize it’s just as true for the mental counterpart of emotional trauma. As such, the events of my childhood that stand out to me the most are the ones that brought me pain, and ultimately, they were the same ones that propelled me to grow the most.
Love is a cryptic word, it can be defined in several different ways, among several different people. There are those who believe love can be measured, love contains pain and sacrifice, or love is only through lust. But through all the meanings, most contain a similar concept; an intense, deep affection between those involved. Well I also too believe love is a deep intense affection additionally, long lasting and painless. Well, the question presented today isn’t the definition of love, but what are the keys to a lasting love. In my opinion, I believe a lasting love contains, empathy, presence, and passion. With these three general characteristics instill into your relationship, they will be your keys to a lasting love.
Years have passed, my teenage years, even up until present, as an adult, the past seems to creep up from deep inside my soul to the surface on every January and the reflection of that memory makes my heart ache. The questions of why run through
