Patterns in who we love

The people we consistently find compelling, trustworthy, or intolerable follow patterns that are not random — they are organized by early experience, family dynamics, and the relational templates we carry without examining. Noticing these patterns is not the same as being trapped by them, but it is the necessary precondition for changing them. This domain looks at how to surface the patterns we live inside and what to do with what we find.
