The Same Boat

Has anyone ever apologized to you, and it really didn't feel like an apology at all? Have you ever tried apologizing to someone, and it had little effect on the person? On today's episode, Christine Lister and I discuss effective ways to apologize, and how resolving conflict increases intimacy. Plus, there's an additional surprise guest interview you won't want to miss!

Catherine Morrill, Susette Magana and I wrap up our discussion of the book "How We Love" by Milan and Kay Yerkovich. We talk about the concept of Secure Connection as the antidote to the 5 unhealthy love styles that we all tend to find ourselves repeating.

Some of the topics we cover: What does it mean to securely connect with another person? If I don’t naturally connect with others, can I get better? If so, how? Is there a better way for me to be understood by others? Why are emotions important, and why do we downplay them? “God, change my spouse” and other unhelpful prayers

Licensed MFTs Catherine Morrill (www.soulrestorationproject.org/catherine-morrill) and Susette Magana (www.susettemagana.com) and I discuss the relationship book "How We Love" by Milan and Kay Yerkovich.

Chances are that you can relate to at least one of these statements: Why do people get so emotional, why can't they just move on? My spouse has communication issues. Sometimes I tell white lies to avoid conflict. I have trouble saying no. When people apologize to me, it's often too little too late. I want to feel deep connection, I want to be pursued. I stay in destructive relationships. I lose my temper but they made me.

If so, then you'll want to listen in! And you definitely don't have to be married to benefit from the book and the discussion.

Go to a good school. Get a good job. Make good money. Marry a good person. Sounds simple enough, right? Sure except for the ones who aren't smart enough, not skilled or disciplined enough, not savvy enough, not attractive enough. Not good enough.

I invite you to listen to Rodrigo Castro's journey into the heart of darkness, where he realized not only was he not good enough for the goals of society, but he also wasn't good enough to make atonement for his sins.

Thankfully, just as God showed He can use a talking donkey to do His will, He can also use an LSD trip to reveal His majesty and grace.
