Consider for a moment that we are relational beings and now consider that on average most people will have about 9% quality time with their loved ones in a day. Interactions with our loved ones can feel unsatisfactory as we are often distracted, multitasking or just not attuned to our partners needs perhaps not even our own. Personal differences are normal and we are going to get into disagreements and feel misunderstood yet what is imperative is how we repair. In repair we learn how to attune to and understand each others needs and feelings and as a result feel even more attuned, connected and responsive to each other. Repair is part of the skillset we learn in counselling.
