Self-partnering can’t get you out of personal work

We touched on the idea that one benefit of engaging in the world of dating is that it provides the opportunity for self-reflection. Trying to be in relationships is a powerful tool, offering a mirror that helps us see what we can work on so it’s important that self-partnering doesn’t provide an excuse for no longer doing the work.

“You should always be in a constant state of personal development,” says Dr. Louis. “It’s good not just for a potential relationship but just for your own healing to be committed to personal development, so you can continue to break through and transform. So then even non-romantic aspects like those with your kids or your parents, all other areas of your life will begin to heal.”
