Three Steps Toward Relationship Development
You know how people say that psychologists go into psychology to deal with their own issues? Well, I am one of those. Psychology gave me clarity and a path towards healing. I believe psychology can provide insights to help us heal our world today. I have a unique vantage point because I listen to people's problems and their pain for a living. Often, their pain is caused by others excusing their actions, even when it hurts. I have experienced it too. However, beneath pain, there is always an unmet need. When I look at the world around us, filled with division, climate collapse, racism, inequity, and trauma, I sense that something fundamental is missing. I believe that missing piece is ownership. In fact, I think the world needs radical ownership. This term captures my theory of our need to be accountable for our actions.
