What is relationship emotional past baggage?

Emotional Relationship past baggage is a representation of the past that manifests in the present - past hurts, toxic relationships, memories and fears.

When two people come together, they meet at the surface level, usually, both parties are attracted to the physical aspect and each other's personalities and interesting conversation. They have a soul connection and are drawn to the body and logical mind but have not yet to be acquainted with the emotional mind, the part that can make a relationship or cause a breakup. The emotional mind stores all our emotions good and bad including our unhealed emotional wounds!

The relationSHIP vehicle - think of two people deciding to go on a journey choosing a vehicle of their choice and they can only take a certain amount of luggage with them otherwise the vehicle will be overloaded and may struggle to stay the course of the journey.

That's what happens when we bring too much emotional clutter from our past into our relationship.

Some of our emotional clutter may even be ancestral (which we will look at in another post).

How does emotional clutter impact the self and the couple?

Emotional clutter does not usually surface at the beginning of the relationship during the honeymoon phase. Usually, this happens when you are more invested in the relationship, starting to open up and letting the other into the deeper parts of you. Something gets triggered in one person in the relationship, they may behave in a way that is unrecognisable to their partner. They seem unreasonable, cold, distant or may behave in a really needy way.

When emotional pain is triggered, the person triggered goes into some sort of trance, they are emotionally transported back into the past whilst being physically present at the moment. They may start to accuse their partner of things that has nothing to do with them, or they may behave in a way that may cause their partner to behave in a certain way that reminds them of a person from their past. Their partner may feel like they are being punished for something someone else may have done in the past. At this point, both parties are operating in different 'time zones' or speaking different languages. Communication is non-existent at this time.
