Have you been watching Bravo’s Princesses: Long Island?
A friend was just telling me about how all the girls on the show want to get married, but they can’t quite seem to find their perfect match.
Casey—one of the more mature young women on the show—is particularly interesting to me.
On the surface, she’s struggling with two main problems.
First of all, the pain Erica (one of the other “princesses”) caused years ago when she stole Casey’s first boyfriend is still very much alive in her mind and heart. Her boyfriend’s cheating made her question her self-worth and attractiveness.
Then, this situation plays into the even deeper sadness and feelings of abandonment she suffers due to the fact that her father abandoned her when she was a child.
These two things have caused her to become incredibly defensive.
Her defensiveness really stands out.
So many of the women and men who come to me for coaching desperately want to find true love but have their guards up. On many levels, this guardedness makes sense, but. . .
Know what happens when you’re this guarded? You wind up repelling the love you want.
Can you relate to the following description? Is this what your heart is like?
