Helping People Connect
| By Anne Hancock, Psy.D.
You can’t expect much from a person who’s hurting or in crisis. Someone who’s drowning isn’t going to offer up a cocktail or ask about your day.
They’re in a panic and focused on keeping their head above water.
Generosity requires space and attention.
Stepping back. Tuning in.
| By Anne Hancock, Psy.D.
Be brave.
Count blessings.
Express gratitude.
Observe.
Name it.
Claim it.
Speak Love.
| By Anne Hancock, Psy.D.
Sue Johnson, the world’s leading couples therapist and researcher talks about intimate relationship as a ‘dance that shapes and recreates the dancers’.
Relationship is about relating; ‘It’s a dance of synchrony requiring partners to improvise and tune in to each other’.
For entertainment we watch movies where brilliant actors talk and pick up each other’s flawless cues.
They respond perfectly. Dreamily. Lovingly. That’s why we pay them $20 million a picture, after all.
