Change your reflection from the inside out

The concept of the imago (Latin for match) in romantic relationship is based on the theory that we fall in love with those who most closely match our primary caregivers' negative and positive traits. OR we are selecting partners who are the polar opposites of those patterns we experienced in childhood. If this is correct it is no wonder that some relationships reflect a kind of "same role, different actor" scenario. The person you are dating may seem completley different from the others but it winds up playing out the same script and ending. This is not an indictment that something is wrong with you as a person. Rather, it hints that there may be an outdated imago match unconsciously driving these events to you. By changing and updating your imago match to suit an emotionally healthy partnership in the future, your life stories can change for the better. When you change the blueprint you have a different ending. Isn't it time for a happy ending after enough tragedy for a lifetime?
