I love RLT/C and TR and esp you both together💞. You are the REALEST most relatable couple therapists in the game and that makes ALL the difference. I would like more precise and clear language around the fact that we do want our partners to change, and we should..because, according to relational sciences, few of us have the relational skills to make any relationship work (intimacy). Men, generally, less than women (thank you Terry/Carol Gilligan/Olga). Both being and finding someone who values OPENNESS (big 5 traits of personality) is the 🔑. And speaking from the “I” to request the change and accept the outcome seems to be the healthy way. Also, I know we effect each others feelings, thoughts and behaviors (Tronic/Bowlby). REALizing this is recovering our empathy, sensitivity and building a containing boundary. We’re in a system, afterall..a grey area that I think requires precise language to reflect the true and complex nature of relating. We benefit from taking responsibility for the power we do have to influence each other (WISDOM) ..since we are each other’s environments and we didn’t choose to have mirror neurons, right!😜 You guys are the best..I feel so grateful for rediscovering you and RLT/C🙏🏻
