Because of what happens growing up, we have unmet needs, lost parts, protective behaviors – I call it our baggage. So, going through our childhood into our adult life, we bring all those aspects of ourselves. If there was a certain piece that wasn’t met, we want to try to resolve that somehow. We’re attracted to somebody that has those characteristics – both negative and positive. They trigger things for us, and it’s in those moments that we can see what we must push past and grow from. You’re never going to find a perfect partner. We always think that once conflict happens, we bolt. Really, conflict is growth waiting to happen. That is a huge thing in relationships.

ABOUT ROBIN NEWMAN:
I am a licensed clinical social worker, Imago relationship therapist, as well as an adjunct professor at the Graduate School of Social Work at Adelphi University. I'm a contributing therapist to Ladies Home Journal Magazine, "Can This Marriage Be Saved?" and the online magazine "Parenting Special Needs, Relationship Rescue".
I work with couples, families and individuals. I'm successful in guiding my patients through anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, addictions, and/or family conflicts.
The key for me is always in the patient who has the courage and openness to heal. We all have wounds that can hold us back from creating satisfying relationships. It is a privilege and a blessing to be invited into the lives of others and assist them in having a more productive and healed life.
