Manage episode 444012028 series 3498921
It can be incredibly painful when we find ourselves in relationships where we long for deeper authentic connection but can't seem to elicit that desire in others.
In this episode, we discuss:
- 1:11 How can I connect with someone who can't work won't talk about his feelings?
- 8:13 If someone is unhappy, that must mean something is wrong, right?
- 12:11 How our agenda is often an obstacle to authentic connection
- 19:42 How can I find closure with my ex-best friend?
- 23:46 I want her to open up but she won't
- 28:34 My dad is ill; how do I talk to others about his impending death?
- 34:53 I've heard through the grapevine that my friend is upset with me: should I bring it up to her?
