Relationships Are a Mirror That Often Reflects Your Own Wounds

The things that trigger you most in other people rarely come out of nowhere. That flash of anger when someone dismisses you, the sting when they don't text back fast enough -- often, you're not reacting to them but to an old wound they accidentally pressed on. Relationships have a way of surfacing the parts of yourself you haven't fully dealt with. That's uncomfortable, but it's also an invitation: use what comes up as a map to what still needs healing inside you.
