Intimate Relationships: Why They Do and Do Not Work

More about the book

Unresolved resistance to separation significantly contributes to unrealistic expectations in relationships, as explored by Dr. Wolinsky. He delves into how individuals often project past needs onto their partners, expecting them to fulfill parental roles rather than recognizing them as distinct individuals. This dynamic can lead to relationship issues, as partners may struggle with the balance between connection and individuality, ultimately hindering healthy interactions.
