How to Stop Losing Yourself in Relationships - Terri Cole

Do you feel like every time you get into a relationship you start to lose yourself? Does your identity get all tangled up with the person you’re seeing? Do you start to forget or neglect the things that make you, YOU?

Maybe you used to have a real passion for something but abandoned it because you felt like it would detract from your relationship? Or maybe you’re in a long-term, committed partnership and you can’t seem to remember the last time you did something for just YOU and only you.

Don’t get lost in your relationship.

I’m talking all about how to create and maintain healthy, vibrant, lasting love and spoiler alert: losing your identity or compromising who you are when you’re in a relationship isn’t healthy.

I’m covering how not to lose yourself when you’re in a relationship, why you might be prone to it, and why you don’t want that kind of dynamic with your partner.
