Why Are Relationships So Challenging?

Why are relationships so challenging?
Why are there so many conflicts in relationships?
A fundamental reason is this: underlying attachment wounds.
Inside of everyone is a wounded inner child who just wants to feel loved and safe.
We unconsciously seek this love through others, objects, and experiences.
Meanwhile, we can only satisfy that inner child by fully meeting it and accepting it. No one can do this for us.
We want the world to love the parts of us that we can't love. This is a strategy that won't work.
Until we heal our attachment wounds our unconscious fears, insecurities, and avoidance patterns will sabotage our relationships.
Here's some examples of how this manifests: Avoidance, rejection sensitivity, lack of confidence and self-esteem, reactivity, things “feeling off”, clinginess, inability to relax in each others presence, inability to be fully present with each other, and far more.
We usually mistake the source of our conflicts for our surface level experience, but it goes so much deeper than that.
