I know! You don’t see this in romantic comedies.
Our movies mirror our child-like trauma view of relationships. Where characters fix, save, + chase each other. Then they’re “complete” and live happily ever after in a state of bliss.
It’s this conditioning that leaves us jumping from relationship to relationship seeking what we will never find in another person.
In a post a few days ago, someone wrote “now that you found a conscious partner, do you still get triggered in your relationship?
The answer is: OF COURSE I DO. Often.
Being triggered is part of every intimate relationship. It’s an opportunity to evolve. Expecting a relationship to be trigger free is unrealistic.
Authentic relationships are safe spaces to explore + return to each other. They don’t always feel good or romantic. They aren’t cycles of emotional addiction where nervous system activation feels like love. They are mirrors. Mirrors that allow us to do the work to connect with ourselves (the path to connecting to another human being)
As we mature emotionally, our view of relationships shift.
What belief about relationships are you releasing?
