Let's Dance
“My parents never fought growing up.”
As if it’s a badge of honor in marriage. Is that healthy? Is it the goal to not get emotional? While it’s true that non-emotion gives space for logic, (kind of important when designing a jet engine) it’s unsustainable in relationships. Unsustainable because we need real connection and real connection requires us to care. Acting like we don’t care or putting a silver lining on every situation is denial.
Reality will always hunt us down.
Some people claim to be unemotional which is denial. There is a difference between claiming no emotion and not having access. Access to and a healthy awareness of emotion is the path to getting unstuck.
This leaves us with two choices:
Deny or Dance.
