Partner, Family, and Friends: "I want better relationships."

"I want better relationships."

The quality of our relationships has a profound impact on our well-being. The difference between feeling upset and feeling soothed is often a matter of having another person who can listen, empathize and offer support. Most of us feel better when we feel like we are being heard.

Satisfying relationships often require attention and cultivation. They require a healthy awareness of our own needs, and a willingness to compromise. Even with our best efforts, relationships sometimes don’t provide us with what we need.
