Belonging
Providing a sense of belonging has been shown to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. It improves your resilience to deal with everything that life throws your way.
Communication
Empathetic communication requires you to be sensitive to your emotional state. If you aren’t noticing what’s happening, you block yourself from truly understanding and being understood.
Self-Reflection
Thoughtful reflection of your own patterns, behaviors, and roots can lead you to create a better understanding of yourself. That’s an important step to feel more connected with others.
Transparency
When we feel comfortable in relationships, we can be ourselves. We feel free to express our thoughts, feelings, and needs. We don’t have to put up walls.
A Note from Susan
Addressing an epidemic of disconnection
Welcome, I’m glad you’re here. My passion is helping others create more heartfelt, emotional bonds and a sense of true connectedness. I’m speaking, consulting and developing new tools, models, and resources to spark open-hearted conversations.
As a therapist working with individuals, couples, and families, I’ve seen relationships dramatically improve when we learn to speak from the heart.
