Why You Run From Connection Even When You Want It

Why You Run From Connection Even When You Want It
Sherry and Lee Patterson

Your body wants connection.

Your mind keeps finding a reason to pull away.

In this LIVE, we answer your questions about twin flames, separation, hyper-independence, and letting another human being love you.

Your Feeling Intelligence learned what love could feel like in childhood.

The mind repeats the treatment it learned.

The pattern lives in both people.

Vulnerability is the openness where connection can meet the pain.

Connection returns to your own body first. Then it can move between two people.

We share what this has felt like inside our own union, including feeling each other during separation, reconnecting and closing down, and letting somebody hold you when you hurt.

We also share our grief for Gemma, family changes, everyday life, and plenty of laughter. We speak candidly, with strong language and adult humor.

We are Lee and Sherry Patterson of Relationship Reinvented. Lee is The Connectionist. We have guided human beings since 2011, in more than thirty countries, and have been in union since August 2013.

We recorded this LIVE on October 28, 2026.
