The Journey consists of 4 components:

1. OBSERVING YOURSELF and your interactions with your partner (or, in retrospect, with past partners);

2. GETTING IN TOUCH with your attitudes, feelings, reactions and behaviors regarding partners and relationships;

3. UNDERSTANDING FACTORS which exert power over your choices and behaviors in and around relationships;

1. Feel you comply with the 4 requirements;

2. Are willing to move ahead with the 4 components;

3. Make time to read books and/or attend self-awareness workshops;

4. Take the vow of honesty: promising yourself to acknowledge and accept what you find out about the “real you”.
