Deepika expertly draws a comparison between relationships and the art of dance, underscoring the dynamic and intricate nature of these connections. She emphasizes the intrinsic human need for attachment and connection, while also acknowledging the evolving definition of relationships in today’s society.

With a combination of wisdom and empathy, she searches into the root causes of possessiveness, its impact on individuals and relationships and provides valuable insights on navigating the complex emotional landscape associated with it.

Possessiveness arises from a fear of loss, hindering personal growth and causing anxiety. It stems from a fear of abandonment rooted in past experiences. Navigating possessiveness requires awareness, communication, and seeking help. Approach a possessive partner by expressing feelings rather than accusing, promoting receptiveness.
