Think of the best relationships in your life. What makes them so valuable, so enriching? What is happening for you when you are with one another?One of the hallmarks of exceptional relationships is the extent to which we each feel known by the other. We may feel intimacy, trust, familiarity, acceptance and support; we may feel love. We feel seen. We can be ourselves instead of spinning our image. And all of these depend upon knowing and being known. That’s true in our most precious personal relationships, but also, to lesser extents, in our work lives, family lives, and everyday interactions.
