“In us all we profoundly long for relationships. Each of us fervently wants someone to see us exactly as we are, warts and all and still accept us. Larry Crabb
Bond Bonding is the ability to relate to another at the deepest level. When two people bond they share their deepest thoughts, feelings, dreams - with no fear of being rejected.
When one fails to bond… • Depression • Meaninglessness • Feelings of badness and guilt • Addiction (not all cases)
How to Bond • Realize your need • Be Vulnerable • Move towards others (not just 1 other) • Take Risks. Allow yourself to risk valuing someone emotionally • Allow dependent feelings • Recognize defenses
How do I know if I am not bonding? • Is there a person in my life who is safe that I can show my real self? • What has happened in my past that has made me reluctant to acknowledge a need for a friendship? • Am I too busy to accept invitations to get to know people? • How do I feel when dependent feelings arise – (uncomfortable – do I suppress them – do I embrace the beginnings of a softening heart?)
Conflict Resolution 5. In the future I hope that…. 1. I’ve Noticed… 4. What I want is…. 3. This makes me feel that…. 2. This makes me think that……
Soul • What have I been raised to believe? • What about that belief do I not agree with? • What is hard about practicing my faith or developing my soul in college?
