Taking Care of Your Relationships

Important relationships are dynamic, not static. Relationships continually change, and must be nurtured so that they continue to grow.

Seek to be emotionally available, perceptive and responsive, and to practice integrative communication. http://revelationcounseling.com/Blog/EntryId/64/RELATIONSHIP-TIPS.aspx

  Integrative communication is described in attachment therapy literature;

·      Attunement-Allow your own state of mind to align with that of another.

·      Awareness-Be mindful of your own feelings and bodily responses and others’ nonverbal signals.

·      Expression-Communicate your internal responses with respect; make the internal external.

·      Empathy-Open your mind to sense the other person’s experience and point of view.

·      Joining-Share openly in the give-and-take of communication, both verbally and nonverbally.

·      Clarification-Help make sense of the experience of another.

·      Sovereignty-Respect the dignity and separateness of each individual’s mind.

Take good care of your relationships, they are the most valuable part of life.
