In this solo talk, Aravind Padmaraju, Ph.D., explains that a lack of emotional openness can completely damage long-term relationships. He notes that many clients become disconnected from themselves after a single negative experience, leading them to shut down and stop sharing feelings. This self‑closure prevents deep connection with a partner. Padmaraju emphasizes that healing or releasing the past trauma—using various therapeutic tools—allows individuals to reopen emotionally, attract healthier dynamics, and move forward in the relationship. Without such healing, the unresolved pain continues to attract similar negative patterns in life.

Some people never express how they feel. Yeah, they shut down instead of, you know, opening up. Can this thing actually ruin a relationship, a long-term relationship? Yes, 100%, right? So what is the one common thing any partner wants? That openness in the connection, deep connection with other one. So most of the scenarios what I saw based on me handling with the clients is they deeply disconnected with themselves because of one incident in the past. They had a bad experience and they stopped opening up for it. So the moment you are able to heal or release that negative pattern by using any of the tools, the healing tools, then you will be able to work on that and move forward. Otherwise, until and unless you don't heal, what still— what stays in you attracts in your life.
