Many struggles in relationships can be simply solved by introducing deliberate shifts into the communication patterns. By viewing the struggle as being in the interaction the focus is shifted from the indivdual to what happens between the two people. A few days ago when we had coffee at the gym after working out my exercise partner shared that she [...] Probably the single biggest factor for not taking action is fear. Fear can show up in many variations. It could be fear of being judged, fear of success, fear of embarrassment, fear of rejection, fear of being alone etc. I can still remember a woman I knew several years ago. She was in midlife [...] We interact in many different kinds of relationships. There are our family members, co-workers, friends, our neighbors, the mailman, colleagues, and many others.
