Conversations on the Couch: Micro-dosing Maureen & Zelle

Miscellaneous


Relationships, whether business or personal, are really just a dance. We’re always trying to figure out how to support or engage the other person. But because we're often making assumptions, and pulling files from the filing cabinet of our own mind, we often step on each others toes because we don’t have all the information. The most powerful thing to do in a relationship is to have a conversation around invitations and boundaries. Much like a highway, there are on ramps and exit ramps. The highway is brilliant because the boundary means that I don't have to stop at every corner. But there are also invitations to come and go, which is brilliant too and very necessary to keep everything in flow. When we create invitations and boundaries in our relationships we can reduce the stress of uncertainty and be more likely to offer someone the support that will really help them connect.
