We've been culturally programmed to automatically default to the position of a victim.  This serves no one– certainly not those of you seeking love. Here's the way out of that mental rut, and the tools to redefine your experience for the better.

Are you seeking love from someone incapable of giving it to you? Childhood issues can create the need to want to heal our past through our current mate. Here's how to use the power of that inner directive to your best interest.

For those of you who want a second exploration of a former love, these are the factors that MUST be in place for romantic success to occur. Only then, will you have the composure and distance to create a new dynamic for partnership.

Partnership requires great communication. Also, picking one's battles wisely. Here are new techniques for boundary setting and behavior modification that don't involve directly addressing the issue.

It's far too easy to get into a fight via text message.  The truncated nature of texting creates too much room for error in your partner's interpretation (as well as yours).  The best way out of a jam is to call your partner.

How do you handle having a crush on your friend's partner? And what if two friends are fighting over you (or you're in competition with your friend over the same person)? These are the viewer questions answered in this video along with detailed analysis on why these things are occurring for you, and to you.

Can you trust yourself?  This is where the seat of your power lies. People are human, and humans make mistakes. When you trust yourself, you trust your ability to make smart decisions and to be resilient in times of relationship challenges.

We're always more lax in the beginning stages of a new relationship. We want to engage our partner, rather than appear difficult.  We don't want to be demanding, but we do need to let our mate know if they've overstepped their boundaries. Here's how to do that tactfully.
