Relation

A relationship is a dynamic bond between people, based on the exchange of emotions, information, behaviors, expectations and meanings.

Definition

A relationship is not just the presence of another person, but a model of mutual influence. It includes communication, boundaries, trust, responsiveness, conflict and recovery from tensions. A good relationship does not require the absence of difficulties, but it requires the possibility of conversation, correction and recognition of the subjectivity of both parties.

Practice and life

In one important relationship, write down: what strengthens this relationship, what burdens it and what one conversation could sort it out.

Common misunderstanding

It is a mistake to measure the quality of a relationship solely by the lack of conflict. It is also a mistake to sacrifice your boundaries in the name of maintaining relationships.
