Daily Inspiration
Many people are afraid to ask for the help they need, because they are afraid of being rejected and feeling uncared for. Yet often in asking for help, they ask with a pulling needy voice, hoping the other will respond with caring. The other may feel manipulated and resistant to the needy pulling energy, doing the very thing the first person fears. We often bring about just what we fear with our protective, controlling behavior.

Relationships
Welcome to the Relationship help and advice section of our Learning Center!
Relationships offer us our greatest challenge and most powerful arena for emotional and spiritual growth, and for learning to love ourselves. No matter how much inner work we have done individually, our control issues coming from our fears of rejection and engulfment, will surface in our relationships when there is conflict. Our deepest issues of self-abandonment may be activated within our relationships, which offer us the opportunity to learn to love ourselves on deeper levels.
Our relationship articles offer you a roadmap for healing relationship issues and creating joy in all your relationships. You will find the relationship help and advice you are seeking here.
