This Ram Das quote always gets me. Like it sees through me and I feel deeply exposed gets me. No matter how solid my relational praxis, extended time with (and also at times away from) my family of origin can evoke historical knowings, fears, pains and reenactments.
As many of us prepare to welcome our own unique complex family dynamics into our homes and hearts, I invite us to also hold in mind the power and wisdom of witnessing our own spheres of influence and the grief that comes with our limitations as human relations.
And speaking of that you-turn, we’ve prepared a few listening collections of our Why Does My Partner podcast for you of our mini series’ + a holiday collection. If you find yourself needing a lil’ distance, excuse yourself from the commotion, pop one on and (if it’s not too frigid where you are) take us with you for a lil’ walk.
Sending all of us much love this season,
