Magical Thinking in Relationships
Six Traps That Block Real Love
A 90-Minute Zoom Webinar with Anna Runkle
People neglected as children often develop a strong capacity to imagine they are loved, even when they're being mistreated and abandoned. The pattern often continues into adulthood, enabling attachments with people who are troubled, unavailable or not interested. If it's not healed, it can leave you unable to form a mutually loving, stable relationship.
In this webinar I'll help you spot six common ways you may be using magical thinking to soothe feelings of anxiety and loneliness -- and to keep hope alive when it's actually time to let go of someone.
I'll teach you practical strategies to stay grounded in reality and support yourself in shifting to a realistic, self-supporting approach to forming loving relationships at last.
