This perspective helps me so much! I’m seeing a girlffriend in July who’s been part of my small “tribe” since the mid-70’s and after all these years, I still feel slighted by the lack of nurturing she brings to our relationship. I have felt so many slights and I’m tired of keeping track of them … I am weary of letting them weigh on my heart. I am (slowly) letting them go, learning to love her anyway, and open to understanding HER on a deeper level. Thank you, Allison, for sharing this.
I really enjoyed the podcast, and it gave me things to think about. I especially enjoyed the way Rebecca presents the information, and will be subscribing. Thank you again Allison for sharing things with our community we would otherwise miss. You are very thoughtful & I appreciate it very much
The problem for me is, I was on the receiving end of a lot of violence and humiliation for a long tine, and it was exactly about me and how I am the way I am.
These are really great things to remember! I will need to have the "cheat sheet" available when in the heat of the moment, so I've printed them out. Thanks, Allison.
I will try and keep these points alive in my life out of respect for myself and others!
Great column, and good advice. One of Neil deGrasse Tyson’s favorite phrases is “We don’t know what we don’t know.” Bill Nye says “Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don’t.”
We need to accept people for who they are, and where they are. And that goes for accepting ourselves, too. Most of us are too hard on ourselves.
But if we’re not communicating what we need, that’s OUR fault, not the other person’s.
Thank You Allison

Thank you for this. I am very non confrontational and a bit passive when it comes to speaking up. If I conform it is uncomfortable. 🙀
I hear you. AM.

Dear Allison"
Point 1.
"The love you get
may never equal
the love you give."
Point 2.
"If you only "know,"
what you believe you "know.
How will you ever really know
What you don't know?"
Point 3.
"Is it me you love?
Or the YOU,
you see in me?"
In order to truly love someone, you have to first forgive yourself for your transgressions and love yourself. - MRVERTAS.SUBSTACK.COM
