Core Self in Love
It’s hard in stressful times to truly know ourselves…
Apart from habits, transitory feelings, moods, and reactions to others.
It’s especially hard in love relationships that often blur boundaries between partners.
Much emotional pain and relationship discord results from porous boundaries between self and loved ones.
Porous boundaries make us try, in vain, to regulate emotions by controlling partners.
If you’ve ever felt:
Needy (you or partner)
Enmeshed (codependent)
Manipulated (you or partner)
Controlled (you or partner)
This course will help by strengthening elements of the core self:
⋅ Self-concept
⋅ Identity
⋅ Deeper values
⋅ Self-efficacy
⋅ Temperament.
Enhance what you like about your core self…
Improve what you don’t like…
Resolve contradictions in self-concept (everyone has them)…
Make your temperament more flexible and adaptable, without losing integrity…
In relationships, request changes in behavior, not in self-concept or temperament.
