Ep16 Where is My Fairytale?
Manage episode 407385532 series 3560695
Are you unhappy in your marriage? Wondering where the butterflies went? Are you constantly feeling let down by your partner, convinced someone else will make you happy? Do you keep attracting the same kind of person who cannot meet your needs?
Ginny and Amanda wrap up Season 1 by exposing the truth about falling in love--what it is and where it disappears to. They explain two similar schools of thought around the topic, both with the mission of coming home to your True Self by healing childhood wounds.
They elaborate vulnerably and powerfully on the following:
- Harville Hendrix Ph.D. and Kelly LaKelly Hunt Ph. D.'s concept of Imago Theory from the book, Getting the Love You Want: The idea that we are drawn into partnership to heal our deepest wounds stemming from childhood.
- M. Scott Peck's M.D.'s psychology around love from The Road Less Traveled, suggesting that falling in love is a reminder of merging with our mothers in infancy.
- Amanda's personal experience with almost ending her marriage after her brother died.
- Difficult relationships are gifts we should be grateful for as they show us what needs to be healed within.
- Painful relationships will continue to show up again and again until you heal.
- Amanda's belief that many relationship troubles occur after major loss and are due to one's inability to cope with grief.
- The phase that comes after falling in love (real love or true love) is more beneficial to your spiritual and emotional growth than falling in love.
- Amanda's idea that the first break from wholeness occurs at birth when we are separated from the divine and that we spend our entire lives searching for the feeling we experience in the afterlife.
