KNOWING • Part 2: Interpreting Your History
Every relationship carries its own rhythm. Some move with ease. Others stir tension. Even the healthiest connections have moments of harmony and dissonance. But beneath the surface of any interaction lies something more personal, your own emotional frequency.
When you pause long enough to notice what you are feeling in a relationship, without judgment, you begin to understand not only how you show up with others, but how you care for yourself.
These patterns did not begin today. They echo from earlier chapters in your life. Often, our emotional responses are shaped by past experiences, by the ways we learned to feel safe, to ask for love, or to guard ourselves from disappointment.
By naming these patterns, you begin to loosen their grip. You make space for compassion. You give yourself the chance to respond rather than react. To relate rather than retreat.
So ask yourself gently:
What memories come to mind when I feel this way?
What kind of care did I need back then?
How might I offer it to myself now?
When you become aware of your emotional patterns, you are not just learning about your past. You are shaping your future. This is the path to secure, conscious connection, not only with others, but within yourself.
