Love is not all you need…

• You need mutual respect
• You need support
• You need trust
• You need boundaries
• You need people to be there when it matters
• You need space to grow and acceptance when you do
• You need people to show their love in a way that you can understand

I learned about my lack of relationship skills in intensive therapy. It didn’t even occur to me to pursue communication and conflict resolution skills. Duh. I now know how to articulate my needs and wants. I know how to speak up if I’m feeling hurt or misunderstood. Such conversations are illuminating and relationship strengthening. The positive results are really quite miraculous. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
