“Your parents' relationship shaped how you see ours”
Agree
- I notice patterns from my childhood
- Their dynamic is my relationship template
- Therapy revealed this connection clearly
- I repeat what I saw growing up
- Their mistakes taught me lessons
Disagree
- I actively chose to be different
- My values come from multiple sources
- Every relationship is its own thing
- I've worked through that influence
- We create our own dynamic
