Recognizing That the Past Is Present

Our experiences in the past, especially those in our childhood, can significantly affect our experiences in the present. In this first lesson of the course, you will learn how to let go of negative impacts from childhood on your adult life so your relationships can be healthier. You’ll also learn about the five A’s: the foundation of adult relationships. And you’ll have an opportunity to think about what love feels like to you.

• Identify the five A’s and explain the role they each play in mindful, loving relationships
• Identify and describe the five mindsets of ego
