People have the tendency to choose people who hurt them over and over again. We have the tendency to fall into certain patterns of choosing hurtful people out of our own character weaknesses over and over again. Answer the following questions?

* Have you ever noticed that the problems/feelings that you are experiencing in your dating life are the same ones you had in a previous relationship?

*Do you find that you continue to choose people to fall in love with or become close friends with who hurt you in some way?

*Do you find yourself wondering “are there any ‘good ones’ out there?”

*Do you ever go through periods of emotional turmoil because you chose someone who was not good for you?

*Have you ever wondered, “how did I get myself into this?”

If you answer “yes” to many of these, maybe it is time to take a look at the ways and reasons you choose people who hurt you.

People who are honest about these patterns have a chance through self-evaluation to change their tendency to get into hurtful relationships. People who do not see that they play a part in the process, set themselves up for more pain. The change needed is in two areas: 1) Learning to recognize the character traits of hurtful people and 2) Dealing with your own character issues that make you vulnerable to that kind of relationship.

In this class, we will walk through that process in an honest and non-judgmental way.
