individual development and patterns of interactions in families and relationships

In the lecture this week you learned about a variety of theories that help to explain both individual development and patterns of interactions in families and relationships.  Now, in the discussion, you will apply these theories to your own life.  In your initial post, please address the following prompts:

Identify and describe some of the traits you have noticed within your own personality and the patterns you have witnessed within your relationships.

Explain how the theories you learned about in the lecture this week might account for your personality traits and behaviors in relationships.

For instance, if you have noticed that you tend to be distrustful or jealous in relationships, which theory or theories from the lecture could explain these traits?  If you have noticed how satisfied you are in your current relationship, what theory or theories from the lecture could best explain this feeling?

Make sure to justify your rationale and provide supporting details.
