Emotions are the building blocks of every relationship in our lives, and the power of those emotions cannot be minimized. Emotions override our thoughts and profoundly influence our behavior - often without our awareness.

Most people seek relationship advice to find answers to problems they believe are responsible for their conflicts-without realizing there are deep rooted issues at the core of those problems. They are attempting to deal with the symptoms of their dysfunctional relationships, without examining the real emotional issues that lie beneath often out of conscious awareness. But until those fundamental issues are addressed, the problems and conflicts will continue.

It is important to remember emotions are crucial in out lives, without them there would be no relationships. Emotions are not bad, and expressing them does not show weakness. Expressing emotions in a constructive way leads to deeper, more resilient and satisfying relationships.
