Get your pens and paper ready to make notes! This is a beast!

1. Be ruthless with your mental health diet. People talk a lot about physical health as a new years resolution. I say have a mental health diet resolution.

2. Ask yourself: what lessons about relationships did I learn from my mum? What lessons about relationships did I learn from my dad? P.S. An absence of a relationship is still a relationship. Messages learnt between birth-7yrs will determine how you view and behave in adult relationships.

4. Discover your relationship dynamics and traps - vicious cycles you get caught up in. Questionnaire I developed link in comments. Download and find your relationship trap. at www.healtraumabonding.com/relationship-trap
