My entire life, I was convinced that there was something wrong with me. That I was broken.

That I was unable to love.

Relationship after relationship, I struggled to reciprocate the affection of my partners.

It seemed the more they opened up to me, the more it shut me down. The more they moved towards me, the more I pulled away.

Where my heart was supposed to be, I just felt a cold numbness.

I looked around and it felt like everyone else was falling in love with ease. Opening their hearts. Living out their fairy-tale romances.

But try as I might, that realm seemed locked off to me. Nope, I was broken. Fucked up. Alone. And there was nothing I could do about it.

Until I came across the concept that changed everything.
