Loving Relationships - Two - Denial

Loving Relationships - Two - Denial

Denial is a major defense that needs to be addressed in intimate relationships. Denial is also a major co-dependence category. It just takes courage for partners to be true to themselves. Often, one must confront "belief systems" that are embedded, ingrained, imprinted, genetically coded, hard wired, and deeply rooted. It's here where partners must have the will, the willing (the intention), and the willingness (the action) to do what it takes to address effectively/efficiently the patterns that support the beliefs or belief systems.

Often, overwhelming words, verbage are used to hide, distort, the beliefs and the fears underlying the acting out of the neediness and rigidities. How wonderful it would be if and when honesty prevails. How wonderful it would be if and when individuals could be real with themselves and their partners. How wonderful it would be if and when partners can just support each other in addressing issues. How wonderful it would be if and when partners can just open up and express their fears and have the other partners support as processing of the fears take place.

The secret is taking responsibility for ones unhealthy feelings, emotions, beliefs, and behaviors by addressing them. It requires persistence, perseverance, and patience. I speak about many practices in the post "Letter to Petra". The practices only work if and when partners are just real with each other. There is no thing, nothing to be afraid of.
