Subject: Colleen-Joy Page weekly teachings on relationships
Hi Philippa
Teaching on: Relationships
“The most important thing relationships hope to teach us is accountability for our own issues. We are often blind to the fact that relationships do reflect our issues back to us in a very real and sometimes painful way. Relationships therefore offer profound opportunities for growth.
Sometimes we want another to love us perfectly because we are afraid or stopping ourselves from loving ourselves completely – flaws and all.
Interestingly, the qualities in others that ‘get to us’ are often actually reflected unhealed qualities in us. For example, if you are too responsible and afraid of making mistakes – you will be upset by what you perceive to be irresponsible qualities in others or people making mistakes. The perfectionist striving to be perfect is afraid of imperfection and therefore will judge and be upset by the imperfections in others. If you suppress what you want to say, people who speak freely and openly may irritate you.
Our relationships do reflect us back to ourselves, and like mirrors they are paradoxically the same image but in reverse. Relationships therefore often trigger our buttons, that’s their job, so that we can find our buttons and heal them ourselves. Blaming or running will not heal our wounds or buttons.
Sometimes we think that we are being courageous by shutting our hearts to others, but in fact it takes more courage to stand in the fire with someone and love ourselves free.” Colleen-Joy Page
