Towards the “and/both” for new possibilities

Often as human beings, we live in a world of “either/or” which limits how we think about an issue and make forward progress with it. Addressing issues that arise in the present, in a productive manner, to move forward while also still acknowledging that hurt has occurred is an example of “and/both” thinking. The past is important, however it can also impede possibilities in the present which can keep a couple in a state of ‘stuckness’. When stronger feelings do occur, they often take couples into places exclusively in the past, hence the feeling of what can be discussed in the present can become lost resulting in greater disconnection. Being able to hold two, or more, realties at the same time is vital for healthy and enduring relationships.
