NEED FOR CONNECTION

Humans are social animals.

We need connection to thrive, which means we need to communicate with each other.

  • Positive communication enables us to connect.
  • Connection can lead to emotional intimacy.
  • Communication doesn’t mean there is no conflict. It means we can listen to and respect each other even when there is conflict.
  • Relationships with others support our wellbeing.
