Some relationships don’t feel loving… they feel relieving. Relief from loneliness. Relief from emptiness. Relief from not knowing how to be with yourself. So we attach, not to the person, but to what they help us avoid feeling. This isn’t weakness. It’s the nervous system seeking safety. Relationships can be great fodder for emotional healing and spiritual growth especially when both partners are aware that they have inner child wounds and they are willing to be compassionate towards each other and help each other. #consciousrelationships #selfawareness #emotionalhealing #innerwork #healthyrelationships
