that even the worst behaviors are manifestations of fear and that shedding personalization and ASSumptions and embracing a willingness to accept the other person as they are are the foundations
I agree!
I think this was very important in my situation.
My tendency was to take everything Husband did as a personal attack on me. But when I started telling myself, he's scared and unhappy...I was able to look at him with more compassion.
He noticed the difference in my responses...and I think that's one of the things that brought him closer to me.
