The rhythm of relationships - this is something that we have spoken about before and used to understand our relationship. Where we are in our rhythm.

We totally agree with Terry - this should be taught everywhere. But it isn’t. That is very unfortunate.

Terry phrases the rhythm in these two ways:
Harmony - Disharmony - Repair

and explains a bit more in this way -

Love without knowledge or awareness (Harmony)

Awareness or Knowledge without Love (Disharmony, disillusionment, being human, hard)

Knowing Love (Repair, mature Love, aware of imperfections but you still love)

In this episode we also get to learn about the brilliant (being ironic) loosing strategies
5 losing strategies (used by the adaptive/inner child)

Being right
Controlling your partner
Unbridled self expression
Retaliation
Withdrawal

We hope this episode gave you some new understandings.

As promised - a link to the 10 commandments for a time out.
