What do we mean by Energy Dynamics in Relationships?
It refers to the conscious and subconscious behaviors that occur between people.
Have you ever had an interaction with someone and felt an immediate connection? A mysterious ease, comfort, and joy? That’s normal.
Have you ever felt misunderstood, or fallen into patterns of blame, judgment, or frustration with someone? That’s normal too.
Our relationships can run the gamut — from falling in love, to sudden conflict with a best friend, to recurring patterns we can’t quite explain.
There are four levels of awareness in our interactions:
Something is happening, but you’re not sure what.
Something is happening and you only realize after it’s over.
Something is happening, you notice it, but old habits keep you stuck in reactive patterns.
Something is happening, you’re aware in the moment, and you’re able to make clear, healthy choices.
Energy Dynamics in Relationships is geared to giving insight and tangible tools that broaden your perspective so that clear, heathy conscious choices occur more and more of the time.
Why does this matter?
Over 90% of our behavior is driven by our subconscious. Like an iceberg, only 10% of our choices are visible and conscious — while 90% are hidden beneath the surface.
That’s why we sometimes:
Repeat patterns we promised ourselves we wouldn’t.
Find ourselves acting just like one of our parents.
Have a big reaction to someone we just met, because they reminded us of someone from childhood.
Through discussions, demonstrations, and experiential exercises, this series will help you bring those hidden dynamics into the light — so you can make clear, healthy, conscious choices more of the time.
