Embracing Otherness

Many a times scenarios at work continue to heighten the importance of Attachment Theory in Relationship Therapy for me.

The balancing of "the other" and "the self" is still the key to a successful and satisfying relationship (of any kind).

In Individual psychotherapy, the emphasis on the self can dominate and over-shadow the important role others play in a person's life.

Overstating "independence" can actually create isolation and detachment (IMHO).

Surprisingly to me, the point was made clearly, eloquently and beautifully not by any famous psychotherapists, but uttered passionately and movingly by an actor...Thandie Newton.

Thandie Newton:  Embracing Otherness, Embracing Myself

This brought tears to my eyes and moved me deeply in so many ways.  

Hope this will inspire you to allow "Awareness" into your life.
