Need To Fix Me
Sometimes in a relationship, one of us thinks we need to fix the other. There are a few moving parts here. In terms of social conditioning, often women learn that this is how they get what they need in a relationship. But it’s not always or only that. There’s also a piece around how we deal with trauma and a piece around the partner’s response to being fixed. What often lies underneath is a feeling of “What does he/she think is wrong with me?” If this rings true in your relationship, Vickey, Jules and Rebecca are ready with a u-turn and a meta-conversation for you to try.
