Maintaining a separate sense of self while fostering empathy for others is essential. Not all beliefs are true; questioning them can alleviate emotional pain. Recognizing the challenge of personal change is important, and crediting small gains can foster motivation. One can listen empathetically without absorbing another's distress, maintaining emotional boundaries. Writing down thoughts provides clarity and perspective, enabling insights into one's feelings and beliefs. Balancing intimacy and personal boundaries is crucial in relationships, as personal histories shape perceptions of truth and emotional reactions.
The skill to learn is how to be kind and helpful without making your partner's struggle your own.
Writing your thoughts down allows you to gain more perspective and learn surprising insights about yourself.
