Are You Experiencing A Lot of Fear About Relationships?

Whenever our relationship fears take over, we can be certain that there are feelings coming up inside of us. All of our issues with partnership are actually a great tactic we have used to distract ourselves from feelings that seem too painful to face. Our obsessions with unavailable people, detours from intimacy, and anger at those who “did us wrong,” are all ways to distract ourselves from feeling the feelings working in us.

Many of us have developed this trait to defend against feelings we think will overwhelm us. We fear that if we face our feelings, then nothing will be left. We fear we won’t be able to handle the pain; we think that we might die if we feel.

If you are feeling a lot of fear right now about your relationship, check in with your feelings. Feelings are the only thing we can trust and they need to be respected. We access our feelings by getting centered, meditating, talking to friends, or working with a counselor.

Today we have the miraculous opportunity to hear what our feelings are saying, which will heal our relationships.  

Relationship issues do not stick around to punish us or make our lives bad—they are actually hanging on so that we can get closer to ourselves. Then we can be more honest about what we need and want in a relationship. Then we can let in an emotionally available partner.
