Do You Know the Dance of Intimacy?

Do you know the dance of intimacy? Healthy relationships have mutual interactions where both people make moves that bring them closer together. Unhealthy relationships lack these skills and as a result, they often move further apart. 

You can assess how well you do each of these things in your relationships. You can also assess how well the other person does them to recognize the potential for growth in your relationship. 

Dysfunctional relationships are confusing. Learning how to identify unhealthy patterns will help you make sense of them.

Do Something Different If What You're Doing Isn't Working

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. So why do we keep on doing the same thing if we know better? The answer is that we don't know what else to do. What we are doing makes sense because it is familiar and makes us feel less anxious. Figuring out what else to do is often overwhelming and complicated. But what if the answer was simple--just do something different. Anything except what you are doing and quite possibly the opposite.
