My favourite therapist teaches weekend relationship workshops. I’ve learned my most valuable lessons from him. He talks a lot about the importance of listening carefully to our loved ones. He says if he were to interview five of our closest friends/family members, they would have very similar experiences of being in relationship with us, and they are allowed to be “right.” It took me a long time to welcome such feedback. I tended to feel judged and hurt. Valuing the other person’s experience (what they think and how they feel), has deepened my most important relationships. Just sayin’ :) Hugs.
Blessings,
