ABSTRACT

In Session 11, we will look at how to bring your insights about your past relationships, your attachment strategies, and your emotional awareness into your next relationship. To start this process, we will explore the beliefs and expectations you might be carrying with you, from the past, about close relationships. Then, we will help you to bravely walk back onto the playing field of romantic love with your inner security waving like a banner. We will investigate how to detect secure attachment strategies in others to ensure that you set off on the right foot. You can now create the relationship you want, so we will focus on how to shape the security that you are seeking in your new emotional bonds. We will take all you have learned about yourself and your deepest needs, and help you to honor these as you consider entering a new relationship. We will look at how to spot and avoid unhelpful dynamics in relationships, and how to earn security together as you create a loving bond with someone special.
