Building relationships in a couple is easier for those of us who felt the support of our parents in childhood. And vice versa: it is more difficult to get out of conflict situations for those who did not feel parental love in childhood.
The good news is that it is enough that one of the partners is able to find a way to reconciliation. His sincerity and warmth help the second to cope with negative emotions. Those who in childhood did not have the experience of trusting a loved one, in such a partnership seem to find it again. “Not everything that happened to us at an early age is irreparable,” emphasizes the author of the study, psychologist at the University of Minnesota (USA) Jessica Salvatore. “A close person can help us cope with childhood trauma.”
