Why Smart People Fail at Relationships

It doesn't matter what your IQ is and how much you have achieved academically. Even heads of organizations can fail to see how important their relationships are to the success of the business. Successful, accomplished people may have great difficulty in personal and professional relationships where they need to relate to others in an emotionally intelligent fashion. Due to new insights into brain functioning and how we develop, it is much clearer what it takes to help build and sustain productive, meaningful professional and personal relationships.

What is Attachment Repatterning?

As our brains can lay down new patterns of behaviour, we change the existing attachment pattern of thoughts, feelings, and behavior that has existed since childhood. In order to do this, we have to enter a conscious process that begins with understanding our personality type, our needs and our attachment patterns. In addition, we need to be in a relationship with another person with which we have a secure bond, to create the new pattern. It cannot be done in a vacuum or as an intellectual exercise.

Making Sense of Emotional Intelligence

Many of us have been conditioned to control, ignore or dismiss our emotions rather than use them as a source of valuable information. This leads to what is known as “bucket dumping”. We accumulate our feeling responses inside of us and when full, we dump it on whatever situation or person that happens to add the final drop into the bucket.

How is Your Emotional Intelligence

We believe that through focusing on their personal development, people can learn to handle emotions intelligently, and in doing so increase their ability to succeed in personal and professional relationships. Emotional self-awareness is the core of emotional intelligence. Knowing one's emotional state allows the possibility of expressing feelings appropriately, or making the choice to withhold the expression of the emotion - in other words, managing one’s emotional responses.
