Читать книгу When You Think You're Not Enough - Daphne Rose Kingma - Страница 20

Were you emotionally suffocated? Did you have an overly protective or overly involved parent? Was one of your parents sexually seductive? Did one of your parents treat you as a spouse? Did one of your parents tell you all his or her troubles? Were your parents overbearing? Emotionally invasive? Did they insist on knowing your every move? Judging your every action? Did they forbid you to have any friends but them?

If you were emotionally suffocated or had to serve as a surrogate spouse to one of your parents, you often feel overwhelmed by people's simple desire for contact, and you are very likely commitment phobic. Because of this you feel frustrated in your desire for love, knowing you need and want it, but heading for the hills each time it shows up because of your fear of emotional suffocation.

You find some way to blame yourself for the fact that love eludes you and it can be difficult for you to take the normal, or, in your case, the very tender and gentle steps toward love that could resolve your life theme.
