How Do I Turn My ME Into a WE?

During the Reclaiming Families Weekend for our Trek residential clients and their friends and families, one of the breakout sessions discusses healthy relationships of ME and WE:

Me

When talking about relationships, you have to start with an understanding of a healthy individual.

• Understand who I am
• Know my thoughts and feelings
• Recognize the source of my thoughts and feelings
• Family of origin
• Life experience

We

Creating a “We” through cohesion/togetherness

• When ME and YOU come together, we form a WE
• Varying degrees of WE, or emotional bonding
• Balance of separateness and togetherness
• Independent from + connected to
• Build consensus vs. do your own thing”
