Welcome, abundant nurturer.
About the Abundant Nurturer Archetype
Your generous spirit and your inner warmth radiate out to those you love.
Once you commit to a relationship, you shower your partner with love, care, and attention. While others might hold themselves back to keep some distance with romantic partners, you approach relationships with your heart wide open.
What makes your openhearted approach to relationships especially admirable is that it’s not as though you’ve never been gotten hurt. You have. And yet, you haven’t let these experiences keep you from giving everything you have to those who matter most.
You’re emotionally present and have a deep capacity for intimacy. Because you’re able to be emotionally present, you possess an unusually keen awareness of your partner’s unique needs. And you have an intuitive understanding of how to respond to your partner in ways that let them feel loved and nourished in the relationship.
Your genuine desire to care for others is matched by your instinctive sense for how you can best support a partner, friend, or loved one in need.
In your close relationships, you have the ability to prioritize the needs of others over your personal preferences and desires. It’s no surprise that these qualities cause others to gravitate toward your warm care and attention.
Those who know you best consider themselves fortunate to be in your circle and value your loyalty, your generosity, and your comforting presence in times of need.
Alongside your generosity, you also have a reputation for being exceptionally capable and effective.
You’re known as someone who can always be counted on to rise to the occasion and do whatever needs to be done.
And because you have the gift of efficiency, you make it look so effortless that others sometimes overlook the true effort you put into what you care about, whether that’s your work, your relationships, or coming to the aid of someone in need.
Hold tight to your open heart and your warm generosity. Now it’s time to also start making more space to learn how to receive as abundantly as you give.

about us
We help those with painful childhood experiences heal their relationship with themselves, deepen their connection with others, and learn the skills for having fulfilling relationships.
We created the Five Relationship Archetypes and the Relationship Yes! Test to help people better understand themselves and their patterns in relationships.
Our work also includes the Ask Angela relationship advice column and podcast, as well as the Alchemy of Connection podcast.
We founded the Institute for Trauma Informed Relationships where we offer certification and consultation provide therapists and coaches in trauma informed relationship counseling.
Angela Amias, LCSW
Fulfilling relationships are an essential part of living a good life. Yet, many of us (perhaps even most of us) have core wounds from childhood experiences that affect our ability to have the kinds of intimate relationships in adulthood that we long to have.
As a licensed therapist, I’ve worked with hundreds of individuals and couples to help them heal past trauma and create more meaningful, satisfying relationships with themselves and with intimate partners.
Alongside Daniel, I developed the Five Relationship Archetypes as a model that reflects the different ways that childhood relationship trauma impacts our adult relationships.
This model takes into account our unique and inborn temperaments as well as the kinds of messages we internalize during childhood — about ourselves and how we need to be in order to have relationships with others. And, more importantly, it lays out a path toward healing, by first helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that you lost along the way … parts that weren’t accepted or safe to express when you were growing up.
It’s my belief that difficult experiences break us open to become more of who we are meant to be.
As a trauma survivor myself, and as a therapist, I’ve made it my mission to walk alongside others as you find your path toward healing and discovering a life of more meaning and joy.
I’ve been featured in a range of publications, including Today, Oprah, Cosmopolitan, Well + Good, The Independent, Salon, Inc., Forbes, Toronto Sun, Women’s Health, and Refinery29.
Daniel Boscaljon, PHD
The most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one you have with yourself.
It’s also true that your connections with others can never be better than your relationship with yourself, which is why healing painful or traumatic experiences from childhood is such a vital part of having meaningful, satisfying relationships in adulthood.
My own personal search for how to cultivate a meaningful life came after years of feeling disconnected from others and from myself.
Though I entered graduate school focused on the intellectual aspects of earning a PhD in Religious Studies (and then another one in English), I discovered along the way how to use what I learned to repair the inner fractures of my own life.
As I reconnected with myself, I found that I was better able to connect with others as well.
With over twenty years of experience working with individuals, I focus on translating theories of love into practical guidance that helps you create meaningful, fulfilling relationships.
I’ve presented internationally on the topics of love and intimacy, and have been interviewed in publications including NBC News, Newsweek, Harper’s Bazaar, MindBodyGreen, Forbes, Salon, FastCompany, Business Insider, and Verywell Mind.
