From Heartbreak to Healing: How 'Deeper Dating' Guides You to Love That Lasts
Discover the emotional tools and insights that help you heal wounds and build resilient, loving relationships.
Heartbreak is one of life’s most profound challenges, often leaving us wary of love and vulnerable to repeating painful patterns. 'Deeper Dating' by Ken Page offers a roadmap for transforming these wounds into sources of strength and connection.
The book’s Gift-Wound-Defense Matrix reveals how our deepest gifts are often hidden beneath wounds and guarded by defenses. Recognizing this helps us understand why we sometimes attract partners who trigger old pain and how to break free.
Taming the emotional saboteurs—the fears and defenses that cause distancing—is essential. The Wave of Distancing, a common pattern where fear pushes us away as intimacy grows, can be navigated with compassionate awareness and honest communication.
Practicing the AHA process—Authenticity, Honoring, and Action—creates a safe space for healing dialogue and mutual respect. Coupled with cultivating self-love and building a supportive Gift Circle, these tools foster resilience and hope.
Through these insights and practices, 'Deeper Dating' guides readers from heartbreak to healing, empowering them to build relationships that are passionate, kind, and enduring.
