Why is my inner world so deeply impacted by my partner's words and actions? Why am I so deeply affected? In this episode we explore two very important concepts: Enmeshment vs. Self-Differentiation. When we are enmeshed, we are not able to draw healthy boundaries between ourselves and others. When we are self-differentiated, we are able to maintain sense of self and self-integrity, despite the issues that might be presented by our partners. I also share a few Imago Dialogue techniques for a couple to practice identifying how they show up to their relationships, namely as enmeshed or differentiated selves.
