Let's face it—life and relationships can be tough. For some, building connections seems to come easily. You know who I'm talking about. The coworker with (a little too much) energy; the class clown who never fails to get a laugh; the relative who jumps at the chance to host the next family gathering. For others, connecting sparks anxiety that causes us to fall back on unhealthy patterns that thwart our relationship goals and create conditions for suffering.
