Being in Relationship Without Abandoning Yourself
This is the paragraph that got me: “But perhaps, at the deepest level, what compels us to abandon ourselves in relationship is the fear of being judged and, ultimately, rejected. If we take our eye off the other’s experience, let down our guard, and speak from our own experience without managing the results, we risk being unwanted and unloved. We’re vulnerable to potential abandonment from the other. The threat of being rejected and unlovable then keeps us dancing the dance of our own abandonment.” Source: Being in Relationship Without Abandoning Yourself | Psychology Today

“There is a faith in loving fiercely
the one who is rightfully yours,
especially if you have
waited years and especially
if part of you never believed
you could deserve this
loved and beckoning hand
held out to you this way.”

How to Become Securely Attached
“In today’s episode, Dr. Rick and I focus on one of the most common, and most important, questions we get about attachment theory: can we heal our attachment wounds, and become more securely attached?
We explore the basics of attachment theory, whether people can change their attachment style, and how much change is truly possible. We then discuss some common frameworks for change, the power of positive experiences, and how we can break out of the “catch-22” of attachment wounds. The episode ends with practical advice for what an anxiously or avoidantly attached person could do to become more securely attached over time.”
Stories Matter
Saint Richard Rohr writes “When we believe in a deep way that life is good, God is good, and humanity is good, we do exciting and imaginative things because we are confident that we are part of a storyline that is going somewhere good. As Christians, we have the opportunity to live the story given to us at the very beginning (Genesis 1), that creation is “good,” even “very good,” and that it is our vocation to nurture and grow such goodness wherever we can.” Source: Stories Matter — Center for Action and Contemplation
