The Sneaky Thing That Is Slowly Destroying Your Relationship

There is one thing that lurks within the layers of relationship and slowly but surely destroys it. The downside is that you don’t even know you’re doing this until it’s too late.

Or when, during a fight, you’re filled with anxiety and sense of panic and want everything to be resolved right there on the spot. That’s probably some traumatic events from the past you bring into the present moment.

Projection holds us back from discovering the true source of pain.
