The Revolution in Relationship

An episode about the revolutionary power of someone's belief in us, and the world it opens up.  If you've ever had the isolating experience of depression or anxiety, you know how the kind and compassionate attention of another can resurrect us from the depths.  And when they relate to us in ways we've never experienced, and see in us things we've never seen, a radically new path can unfold beneath our feet. This is also a personal story about someone who revolutionized my way of being in the world.

Parenting can lead us to a threshold in life we hadn’t known before. We're bringing into the parenting dynamic with our kids the momentum of our previous experiences - our resources and resilience, as well as our disconnection and disembodiment due to trauma (individual, familial, cultural, historical & intergenerational).  Beyond the challenges we face to parent in ways we may not have been parented, there is a deep love for our children that wants to be expressed and known in presence with them. There's also a yearning in us to experience that deep love ourselves; to feel our power and to live authentically, just as we yearn to protect that for our kids, too. The urgency to heal what's still alive within us might come up with a force because of them, and yet it's ultimately a reclamation of our life force, vitality, joy, connection and creativity we're most hungry for. It’s sometimes a desire bold as love that fuels our courage to meet what we fear to face.
