We need (yes need) each other to thrive.

In a therapeutic world of words like "boundaries" and "codependency" there can be a risk of triggering hyper-independence and solitude in our society. Because I teach about and speak about it often, it feels like a responsibility and honor to bring nuance to the conversation.

We need (yes need) each other to thrive. And, we need each other to survive.

We are connected beings. Created from connection, oriented towards connection, and sustained by connection.

We need more spaces not only oriented to the healing of the individual, but to the collective. Much of our pain was created in relationships and much of our healing happens in relational dynamics.

(Connection and Fusion are not the same thing, and that is what boundaries and healing codependency helps us differentiate from and heal. We need independence so that we can know ourselves and be with ourselves when we are with each other.)

There is a place after boundaries, and healing co-dependency where we return to an interdependent reality. Living with the truth that we need each other... in more healthy, life affirming and fulfilling (as opposed to enmeshed and taking) ways.

If you want to join a truly nourishing, life revitalizing and deeply connective interdependent space... you may choose to come to a weekend retreat. (The next one is in Tzfat Israel, in May 21-25) This is where we heal from trauma bonds and move into the resonance field, and mutually fulfilling space of joy, truth, abundance and true collective healing.

You can also create these spaces yourself. Stepping in, inviting yourself and others to experience your heart, your presence, your offering.

Happy "needing and feeding" on the true "food of life", in healthy amounts and ways 🤍 We will be practicing this for the rest of our lives, and learning "on the job!"
