Relationships: How to Get Out of Obsessive Scenarios

Severe or even tragic childhood events, such as the divorce of a parent or the loss of one of their parents, can have a profound impact on shaping our life scenarios. These scenarios become patterns of behavior that we unconsciously transfer into adult relationships, often repeating the same patterns. How do you get out of this vicious circle and build healthy, harmonious relationships?

What are compulsive scripts?
Obsessive scenarios are persistent patterns of behavior and thinking formed as a result of early life events. They affect how we interact with partners, how we build trust, and how we deal with conflict. These scenarios may manifest as a fear of rejection, a need to continually affirm one’s worth, or a tendency to avoid behavior.
