Wish you could say more about this or ... I mean, how do you even maintain a R with someone like this?
LG,
It isn't my framework. Look up Dr. David Schnarch and his stuff - his work is very inspiring.
Here's the catch, though.. part of his theory is that we only choose partners within about 1/2 step of differentiation from our level. So.. whatever I see in my W, I better look darn hard at myself, because I'm probably not that different even if perhaps I express a different type of need for validation.
I don't know what "differentiation" means and I noticed you've mentioned Schnarch before - is there a particular work I can look at? This stuff really resonates with me -
