Dear Anita,

I continued to think about what you said regarding my experiences with my brother possibly being somehow related to my current issues.

I was wondering if maybe you could elaborate a bit more on how you think this kind of connection would be created – how and why would it create this kind of pattern?
The people I always dated were always very different from my brother and I never felt unsafe with them – meaning they never yelled or hit or did anything like that, so I don’t think I am somehow re-creating my relationship with him and reliving the same emotions. I’m not saying you suggested that I was, just trying to explore different ideas.

I know you don’t have the answers as no one can really know, I was just wondering if you maybe had some guesses or insights which could help me make some more sense of that idea.

Thank you.
