Author, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Psychologist, And Speaker
Healing Conversation #861
— Creating companionship and community with others invites a sense of belonging and a genuine feeling of being valued. These are core aspects of social-emotional development that, when cultivated, awaken the blossoming of being and becoming human.
With an awareness and understanding of our interdependent, human nature, collaborative relationships can be attained without anyone’s compromising of values. Gentle Teaching is rooted in this understanding that is referred to as a psychology of interdependence.
The relationship itself becomes the classroom and the key for developing companionship and a sense of community. Constructed with a framework of Gentle Teaching, it becomes the vehicle of mobility for exploring and discovering quality of life possibilities.
