148. 6 Childhood Roles That Can Shape Your Adult Relationships

Send Gemma a messageWho did you learn you needed to be in your family growing up?The good girl? The responsible one? The peacekeeper? The child who didn't need very much?The roles we learn in our family of origin can become deeply ingrained, and we can continue playing them long after childhood has ended, particularly in our romantic relationships.In this episode, I explore six common childhood roles I've observed in my work with women, and how these roles can become part of what I call our Love Template, the largely unconscious map that influences who we're drawn to, how we behave in relationships, what we tolerate and the patterns we repeat.I also share an excerpt from one of the lessons inside Love Wisely Foundations, where I take a deeper look at several of these roles and how they can continue playing out in our adult relationships.The important thing to remember is this:You are not the role. You learned the role.And what has been learned can be noticed, understood and gradually changed.Love WiselyMy next Love Wisely group coaching experience begins on 9 September.Over three months, I guide a small group of women through the process of understanding and intentionally rewriting their Love Template, so they can break long-standing relationship patterns and move towards healthier, safer and more fulfilling relationships.Priority enrolment is now opening.
