In this episode we thread Spiral Dynamics, the developmental psychological map, with Relationships, Emotion and the concept of Difficulty. As we view these threads of life through multiple perspectives, we build up a richer understanding of what these things mean. Friendship, Intimate partners and people we are unfamiliar with, are understood in a variety of ways, depending on one’s psychological development. Emotion has a changing degree of differentiation, utility and intensity as the Spiral unfolds. Difficulty is poised between what’s possible, what’s interesting and what’s boring. Building complexity of understanding by manipulating maps such as Spiral Dynamics is key to a deeper psychological ability to understand the threads of life.
