Our experiences, interactions and relationships early in life significantly contribute to who we are. They shape the way we perceive ourselves, which impact our current patterns of behavior. Wounds can stem from our negative or destructive experiences with primary attachment figures, leading to unhealthy or toxic tendencies later in life. When we take the time to explore and work to understand what happened, we become better skilled in recognizing these tendencies and can begin to correct or change course. As a result, we promote healthy relationships and increasingly positive patterns of behavior, both stemming from a place of internal healing.
