Are you chasing love that leaves you feeling unworthy or uplifted? Ken Page reveals the two pivotal questions that can revolutionize your search for love and shield you from unnecessary heartache. Drawing from four decades of psychotherapy and personal growth, Ken explores the profound difference between "attractions of deprivation"—those intense, addictive relationships that mirror old wounds—and "attractions of inspiration"—connections rooted in mutual respect, safety, and emotional integrity. He also unpacks how asking one soulful question—“Do I feel safe and seen?”—can fast-track your journey to secure love and deepen your own self-worth.
