More people need to watch this, mindfulness and awareness of one self and togetherness of relationships, has great insights and takes an angle from birth to now to understand self which is not always talked about in such a way, I really found it useful would watch more on this subject.

Towards the end, the final two relationships I could most relate to. A lot to digest.

It made me realize that many of my relationship issues today are a direct result of select traumatic experiences I had as a child

I love the topic of "love addiction" which is a consumer term rather than a clinical one, and I think it is important that licensed professional provide mental health information course, so I was excited to hear you teach it however your zest for the topic never came across in what i saw and your start of "there are very few healthy relationships" came off as fatalistic and gave me the feeling of "what's the point" why try, some people are happy but this guy thinks they're unhealthy. I tried on three separate occasions to give fresh try, but I just couldn't watch. I think the info is important and you know it! Maybe one day you will get time to re-do it so people have a chance to learn this interesting idea! reframed and/or with visuals instead of lecture podium not looking at video learners
