Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I keep getting dazzled by how brilliant or charming someone is and signing up to work or partner with them, and then the exact same painful pattern I’ve been burned by before
• We’re both trying so hard and somehow both ending up feeling unloved, and I’m starting to think we’re each pouring love in the exact form we’d want to get it back
• I keep telling myself I’ll finally feel enough once I lose the weight, hit the goal, get the approval
• There’s this one fight we have over and over that never resolves no matter how many times we hash it out, and I’m exhausted trying to win it or fix it for good
• I keep telling myself I’ll make real time for the people I love once I hit the next work milestone, and that milestone never stops moving
