Relationships are funny things… Or at least they should be if they’re going to last. I don’t just mean relationship in the sense of that special someone in your life or bed.

When I first studied NLP I mistakenly thought that having control of my mind meant I could immunise myself from life. If something bad happened I’d just make it so that it didn’t matter and I hadn’t really wanted it anyway. A bit like the guy running for the train just as the doors close only to do that funny little dance as if to say “just out for a morning jog, what train? Oh that train no I’m getting the next one”.
