This is my first post so I want to introduce myself to this blogging community. I will be talking about the relationships we have in our lives and how they affect our daily living. The shortest poem I ever heard comes from a talk I heard John Bradshaw give once, "The Relationship consisted in discussing if it existed". And I want that to be a basis for discussion in this forum
Men and women have very different reactions to fear and rejection. The feedback loop of relationships has to do with men wanting to disconnect when they feel rejected and women being in fear that they are not heard.
Men often go into depression when sensing rejection and if not into their cave, then into a shame state. Often it is precipitated by a physiological response to that feeling of being less than, persperation, rapid heart beat and hard breathing. Women go into fear that they are not safe and not being taken care of. Men say they are not mad at their women, they are upset that their women are mad at them.
I would like to hear comments from anyone interested in a discussion about relationships and forming better connections.
