So beautifully expressed! Very insightful and just what I needed to learn today.

When I read this I could see that I’ve failed in this area at times in my relationships. I’ve been a fixer. That fact makes me sad.

However, now that I’m gaining this awareness I’m committed to “holding space” in all my relationships going forward.

I realize that I’m not going to be perfect, yet it’s definitely a valuable attribute/characteristic to develop, especially in a romantic relationship and believe the outcomes it can bring makes it such a worthwhile practice.

Thanks for the inspiration.
