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.
