Description

This episode explores how our early familial blueprint affects our romantic relationships when we are dating or married.  Our familial blueprint affects us in two ways: 

We often unconsciously repeat the dynamics that our parents had with each other in our new relationship because it feels familiar;

And, we may also choose partners similar to our opposite-sex parent, because that was what we learned about the opposite sex and how they would treat us.

When we don't make the past conscious we are often doomed to repeat it.  So, we can find ourselves acting as our parents did in our marriage or choosing partners with the same characteristics as our parent.

In order to create what we want now, we need to become conscious of our old blueprint and create a new one so that we have freedom of choice and can create the relationship we desire.

This episode gives examples of how to do this so that you do not repeat the same old unhealthy patterns and can customize your relationship to your own values, lifestyle, personality, and desires.
