When we are depressed, our thinking blocks us from being aware of our needs, and then being able to take action to meet our needs.

A difficult message to hear is an opportunity to enrich someone's life.

Expressing our vulnerability can help resolve conflicts.

All human actions are an attempt to meet needs.

In our culture, most of us have been trained to ignore our own wants and to discount our needs.

I don't think you can have an authentic connection when one person is diagnosing the other.

The more we empathize with the other party, the safer we feel.
