Picking the Wrong Partners If you have a history of selecting partners who treat you badly, our therapy begins with a careful review of the family in which you grew up and of each significant romantic relationship you have ever had. If you were abused in any way in any of these relationships, we would begin by healing the wounds the abuse created. Click here for information about healing from abuse. Remember that abuse can be verbal, mental, physical, sexual, or subtle forms of neglect. Many times people who repeatedly select poor partners have been raised in an environment where they were not valued, so they never learned to value themselves. This is often compounded if the person was raised in a religious institution which over-emphasize guilt and sin, especially in children. Therapy involves replacing the negative programming the person has been given with more positive thinking on both a conscious and unconscious level. Often the person has poor boundaries and must learn how to build boundaries and maintain them. Click here for information about finding a Romantic Partner.
