We all seek connection, a sense of belonging, and also we seek to have a sense of purpose and value. When we find ourselves in relationships where we feel a lack of connection or a sense of being undervalued by our partner we tend to lose vitality and/or security. Let us work together to rediscover who we are meant to be.
