Not etched in stone: Our emotional functioning is affected by our histories and experiences. Our general orientations toward relationships are largely learned from our experiences with others and parents do play a significant role in developing our emotional/relational templates. The good news is that we need not be prisoners of our experiences. Supportive others and therapy can change our route for the better. Best
