Transformations Of Lionhearts

April 18, 2018 by Susie Morgan

Lionhearts, so often the quality of our relationships as adults is shaped by our early attachment dynamics in childhood. When our earliest relationships weren’t protective or nurturing, it becomes hard to believe we are lovable and deserving of respect and security in our adult relationships.
