Drew's Therapy Relationship Blog: Mindful Communication ...

It is very gratifying to work with couples and relationships of all kinds. I often see intimacy deepening right in the room as we work together to strengthen the connection and improve communication. However, coming in to therapy once a week is only the beginning. Mindful communication around everyday interactions is the key to sustaining intimacy and connection in our relationships.

This idea brought to mind some guidance I heard once, something from ?A Course in Miracles?. It goes, ?every decision I make is a choice between a grievance and a miracle, I relinquish all regrets, grievances and resentments and choose the miracle.? I wonder what our relationships would be like if we relinquished our regrets and grievances and made mindful choices around our interactions with others. What if we choose the miracle of connection over an expression of resentment and regret. What if we think to ourselves as we interact with our significant others, ?is what I am going to say or do going to bring us closer or push us apart?? We all have regrets and resentments. By making choices about how we express them in our every day communication, we can experience more connection, intimacy and love in our lives.
