Oh honey, I hear you loud and clear! It’s like trying to dance a beautiful duet, but one partner keeps pulling away, right? Maladaptive behavior is just a fancy way of saying our old steps, learned from past hurts, aren’t serving us anymore. They make us stumble when we want to glide.

I remember after my own heartbreak, salsa lessons helped me learn to trust a new partner’s lead again. It’s about retraining your rhythm! Try small trust exercises with your current partner – communicate openly, hold their hand through little challenges. Focus on building a new, joyful choreography together. You’ve got this, sweetie!
