Healthy loving partnership has the profound ability to heal our DEEPEST early wounds.
After I got divorced and took some time away from relationships, I eventually found I had two desires pulling me in different directions: radical freedom and authentic love.
My heart was battered and bruised and I was hellbent on protecting it. I built concrete walls around my heart and told myself I'd NEVER again get married or live with a partner, but I might be open to dating.
The problem was that deep down I desired a love spacious enough for my entire free bird self. A container where I felt seen, heard, and understood.
What I didn’t know was that this deeper desire for a safe partnership would be the most healing life I could create for myself.
I thought my healing would come with avoiding a relationship. Instead, my deepest healing came IN relationship.
I learned that with the right skills, values, and intention, healthy loving partnership has a profound ability to heal our DEEPEST early wounds.
Showing us that we can:
Be messy and still be loveable.
Bring all the pieces of ourselves and not be “too much.”
Trust another person to hold our heart tenderly with care.
Safely lean in, let go, and let love in.
So many sensitives I meet carry the harm from their past which stops their healing in the present. Ultimately this blocks them from allowing authentic love in.
On this week’s episode of Tune In with Marci, I’m exploring how relationships can heal us. I discuss:
The difference between healthy and toxic relationships.
The one question you need to ask yourself right now about partnership.
And the tricky traps that sensitives can fall into when in or looking for love.
