When I finally became aware of how to connect to myself and to others in a way that was truly impactful it was like a light being turned on for the first time in my life.

My romantic relationships seemed like they fell short of the mark. Why was it that other people seemed happy in life and with the people in their lives while my relationships seemed to struggle?

Over the years I’ve done counseling and read books hoping they would provide the solution and they did help, but somehow I needed something more.

I came to Personal Development School for help with a dating relationship. What I discovered was the importance of being in touch with my emotions and not letting them dictate my life as I did not realize they had been doing. I was not aware that I had a small quiet fear which was guiding a lot of my decisions and ultimately my life. I could not see that my dismissive avoidant attachment style was keeping me from what I really wanted in life.

I’ve since learned how to use my emotions as merely a thermometer for what’s going on inside of me so that I can make changes on the outside such as meeting one of my personality needs or communicating a small boundary which I had not been doing. I learned how to gently add these to my life and now they are second nature. This was the missing piece of my puzzle!

I have seen improvement in all types of my relationships - my friendships, family relationships and work relationships. I am also a happier person who has a zeal for life.

Now that I have this knowledge, my passion is to use it to empower others to make a shift from being stuck and going in circles in their lives to fulfilling their life goals and dreams and creating lasting relationships that have depth and harmony.
