What is getting in the way of you having the relationship you really want?
What are your blocks? How do they show up in your relationships?
We all have blocks that stop us from having the relationship or experience we truly want. Some we are conscious of and others we are totally unconscious of. By learning about our blocks, we have the opportunity to address them, overcome them, and create the relationships we really want. So, what are your blocks? Some common blocks include...
A fear of vulnerability.
A fear of being hurt, rejected, or judged can become a block when it’s so strong it prevents you from opening up and forming deep, meaningful connections.
Not feeling worthy or deserving of love.
Feeling like you are not worthy or deserving of love may be a block as it can lead you to engage in self-sabotaging behaviors or settle for less than you deserve.
Having negative beliefs about relationships.
Having beliefs that suggest you can’t have good, healthy relationships often gets in the way of you co-creating them. You may end up constantly looking for things that are wrong, anticipating partners letting you down and overvaluing the negatives while undervaluing the positives.
A fear of being let down, considered ‘too much’ or ‘too needy’.
A fear of being considered ‘too much’ or ‘too needy’ can act as a block as it leads you to avoid expressing your wants, needs, and boundaries for fear of the repercussions, but then you end up feeling like your needs are not considered.
Unprocessed past relational wounds.
Relationships are places where we can heal and also where many of us have been hurt. Sometimes, our unprocessed past relational wounds hijack us in the present and create blocks. These blocks are often attempts at keeping us safe, however, they usually reflect the past situation, not the present moment.
Once we are aware of our blocks, we have the opportunity to do something about them. We can take the time to reflect and better understand how these blocks impact our lives. We can seek support in learning how to shift them and we can start to make conscious choices about how we show up and engage in relationships so we can create the connections we really want.
With love,
