To have a healthy relationship, you need the 4 S's of Attachment: To be Seen, to be Safe, to be Soothed, and to be Secure. The most important factor in your ability to have a healthy marriage or love relationship and also to be a healthy parent, is how you have made sense of what has happened in your life, not the actual events that you've experienced. How do you understand your story? If you've made sense of your experiences in a compassionate and loving way, you can then give the closest people in your life what they need. Can you be present with what happens in your every day life? If you've made sense of your story, you're much more likely to be able to stay in the present rather than getting carried off into the prison of your past.
