Our relationships are made of ideas—and those are what get hurt and disappointed. They are our ideas of how we want to be heard and respected, to trust and feel safe, to feel strong and vulnerable, to care for and be cared for.
We are human beings who seek connection with others. We long to be seen, to be accepted, to share our values and desires. To create a shared space—the space of relationship—where we can feel safe and authentic. A place that can contain all that we become over time.
Emotions inspire respect. An emotion is a message to someone else.
When we know what kinds of relationships and communications we are inviting people into, we gain the power to build the relationships we truly desire.
