I believe that we are primarily social beings and that our relationships, past and present, continuously impact our growth as individuals. Humans are highly resilient, and we tend to persevere through negative experiences. However, certain relationships can have long-lasting negative consequences on how we see ourselves and engage with the people in our lives. When this happens, people often find themselves in a dysfunctional and frustrating pattern of maladaptive thinking and behavior that results in persistent interpersonal struggles.
