The (losing) battle of trying to “fix” your man

Dear “It” Girl,

Do you have a pattern of dating men with more baggage than the baggage claim area at JFK Airport? Did you ever ask yourself why you attract people who trigger the “rescuer” in you and facilitate your baseline of therapist mode?
Well, you can look at your relationships with good ol’ Mom and Dad, figure out your imago by doing the exercises in Harville Hendrix’ s Getting The Love You Want, or go deeper with a counselor who is trained in Imago Therapy. Want to start with a smaller dose? For a shot of common sense, read my article “The (losing) battle of trying to “fix” your man”.
