Each of us is different, but we all need personal bonds and relationships. Throughout our life, we develop all sorts of social ties. Our relationship partners, in particular, can take a pre-dominant role in our life. They can throw a reflective light onto our past (e.g., upbringing), as well as on our previous relationship patterns, and at the same time they can also significantly characterize our present state of being.

Relationships are comprised of a unique combination of the energies of the specific people in the relationship. Of course it is only natural that coexistence in a partnership does not always work harmoniously.

Break-ups, for better or for worse, weigh not only on the splitting partners, but often also on those around them, especially on their children--if there are children. If the partners decide to go their separate ways, there are a number of painful steps in the process of separating that can affect everyone differently. Strong emotional shock can limit our ability to work with emotions and thoughts, resulting in energy loss or even depression.
