Summary

With phrases like “you complete me” our culture idealizes connection between spouses or even friends that has no boundaries.  This brand of intimacy sounds appealing but it doesn’t work well practically. Our desire for connection is innate, but vulnerability is messy and risky. My guest this week, Kimberly Galindo, encourages us instead that the point where “I” end and “you” begin is the point where we’re different, but it is our real point of connection.  In our conversation Kimberly gives us some tools to communicate in a way that fosters connection, but maintains our separate personhood. 

Kimberly is a licensed therapist with experience helping married couples and individuals connect well in many areas.

the show to help share something I've heard her teach on before which is related to communicating

with others holding on to self and we reference an episode you need to go listen to first

on self differentiation and staying connected with the important people in your life whether that's

a spouse or a parent or a child or a friend. And how do we practically communicate what is going
