The reasons why we feel disconnected in relationship are many. From concerns around unmet needs, recreation of our childhood wounding and trauma, infidelity and resentment, inability to trust, disagreements over finances or parenting, work and career stress, competing values, incomplete communication styles—the obstacles that get in the way of loving connection present real challenges.
