Vanessa How do we get the love we want? Vienna has a way of making the most profound concepts simple and available. She will open up ideas about how to deepen into relationship, not only with those around you, but also with yourself. Vanessa I wanted to start with a question that I am really interested in because I sit with hundreds of people in groups.
And the same themes keep coming up again and again and again. And so in your work Vienna, what are the themes that keep come up the most? What is the most common thread that is cut that that is present with all the couples that you work with, with respect to the struggles of relationships?
But what is the sort of underlying theme the underlying thread that you see again, and again and again. And I always bring it back to our self awareness and our relational awareness. And I hear it all the time. And we tend to lack awareness around our programming, or conditioning, the blueprints, our operating system. And for me, I look through the lens of our family systems. But I really love to spend time and understanding our origin stories. And I think many of us do know the story, right?
