What’s best for you?
Throughout my two decades of experience providing therapeutic guidance to individuals and couples, I’ve consistently encountered a recurring theme: a distinct absence of a clear, deep understanding of how to sustain enduring love. This deficit becomes glaringly apparent when we consider the staggering divorce rates, or the numerous couples who persist in unfulfilling partnerships, stifled in their progression and devoid of happiness.
However, when I learned of the Twin Flame (TW) concept versus Traditional relationship models presented a grounded reality of love that has become the bedrock of my work with healing clients. Focusing my work on clients seeking true love via the Twin Flame model in modern love relationships brings a refreshing and insightful perspective to how people perceive and navigate their partnerships.
This perspective can address some pervasive issues and expectations that often undermine the health and longevity of relationships. The Twin Flame perspective offers a framework that can handle several vital points that can endanger the health and longevity of connections using the traditional framework. Here are some examples:
1. Unrealistic Expectations: In many traditional romantic narratives, individuals believe their partners will fulfill all their emotional, psychological, and even spiritual needs, often without clear communication. The Twin Flame perspective shifts this notion by emphasizing personal growth, self-fulfillment, and transparent, authentic communication.
2. Dependency: In many relationships, reliance can create an unhealthy dynamic where one or both partners rely excessively on the other for their self-worth or happiness. The Twin Flame model promotes a balance of energies, encouraging each person to find happiness and fulfillment within themselves, reducing unhealthy dependency.
3. Lack of Individual Growth: Some traditional relationship models can unintentionally discourage personal growth, as individuals become overly focused on their partners or the relationship itself. The Twin Flame perspective sees the relationship as an emotional and spiritual growth catalyst.
4. Inauthenticity: Many relationships lack authenticity, with partners feeling they have to hide their true selves to maintain the relationship. The Twin Flame model emphasizes the importance of being authentic to oneself as a key to a fulfilling relationship.
5. Imbalance of Energies: A relationship can suffer when there’s an imbalance in the giving and receiving of love, effort, and support. The Twin Flame perspective, emphasizing the balance of divine masculine and feminine energies, encourages a more equal and reciprocal dynamic.
The Twin Flame perspective can help individuals and couples create healthier, more fulfilling, and enduring relationships by addressing these issues. Here are a few reasons why my approach using the Twin Flame model is pertinent:
1. Promotes Self-growth and Accountability: The Twin Flame model emphasizes personal growth and spiritual evolution as critical components of a successful relationship. This is a departure from the traditional narrative of finding a “savior” or “prince/princess charming”, which can create unrealistic expectations and often lead to disappointment.
2. Encourages Balance and Wholeness: The Twin Flame model is about achieving balance and unity within oneself and in one’s relationship. It recognizes the importance of balancing divine masculine and feminine energies, which promote wholeness and self-fulfillment. This understanding shifts the focus from seeking completion in another person to achieving completeness within oneself.
3. Fosters Authentic Communication: My approach strongly emphasizes TW’ authentic communication and understanding. This approach starkly contrasts fairy-tale notions that romantic partners can or should instinctively understand and meet each other’s needs without clear communication.
4. Empowers Individuals: In encouraging individuals to align with their Divine Masculine or Feminine, Debra’s approach allows people to understand their inherent strengths and energies, fostering self-confidence, self-love, and healthier dynamics in relationships.
5. Transforms Expectations: The traditional narratives of “saviors”; and “prince/princess charming” often portray love as something that “happens to us”. However, the Twin Flame model suggests that profound, lasting love is something we consciously cultivate within ourselves and our relationships. It transforms our expectations of love from a passive event into an active, ongoing journey of growth and discovery.
My emphasis on the Twin Flame model represents a significant shift from conventional relationship narratives and expectations needed to preserve the family unit. It encourages self-awareness, balance, personal growth, and effective communication, which are vital for nurturing healthy, fulfilling relationships in our modern context.
