It has been said that the quality of your life is reflected by the quality of your relationships. And yet building and maintaining healthy functioning relationships is one of the hardest things many of us will face - and require constant self growth, ability to reflect upon yourself, developing empathy to become attuned to others - and the ability adjust, accommodate, rebuild and repair.
We all intuitively know when we gel with someone and are in a healthy and constructive relationships. But identifying obstructions between people where the relationship is not functioning well (and maintaining that relationship in a healthy context is important) can be more difficult to navigate.

Healthy Functioning Relationships
Healthy functioning relationships are built upon a foundation of psychological safety that comes from being able to be vulnerability with them and feel trust and connection towards them - mediated through effective communication and the ability to rebuild from disruptions.
A relationship is a journey with many peaks and valleys and it is our hope to find in life those that we can draw support and comfort from in navigating our life path towards greater levels of self-discovery. Every relationship has a season - that changes as you both go progress (or not) in your self awareness and development.
A healthy functioning relationship is built upon a foundation of secure self attachment - that develops from relationships (especially early formative ones) that encouraged the development of your self confidence to explore the world.
Early associations with care-givers form an implicit memory that is highly intelligent and acts to ensure we acquire the most love, care, connection, and protection as possible. This implicit memory lays down persistent patterns that both impel and constrain social and emotional behaviour. These patterns of connecting with others form in our primal limbric brain and as a consequence create core personality traits that act in the background to influence all latter relationships.
These automatic functions operate outside our conscious awareness and cause us to create mental filters that interpret situations to fit our constructed sense of self in the world. We became biologically wired to adopt behavioural strategies that made sense when early implicit memories were formed but can serve us poorly in later life.
