What is Relational Power?
The art of consciously engaging in loving, transparent, and co-creative relationships, with ourselves, others, and all of life.
About Relational Power
Relationships will reveal our desire to connect and our reactive impulse to protect. Our adult relationships unveil the fabric of our internal world, and the subconscious ways we attempt to repair heartbreaks from childhood conditioning.
The challenging patterns we encounter as adults often point to unresolved pain and beliefs about safety, love, connection, freedom, power and worthiness that we learned as children. The key to understanding the root causes of our relationship patterns is to investigate our personal adaptive strategies and conditioned behaviors.
Each strategy was formed as an ingenious attempt to manage complex feelings of disappointment and vulnerability. The more we understand how we habitually operate, the more conscious choice we have. Relational power is about studying the code of our operating systems by looking within.
The good news is that there is profound healing and transformation available in our relationships! Each time we practice transparency, cultivate real emotional intimacy, and commit to taking personal ownership for our wounds and conditioning, we call more of ourselves back home. Relational Power is fortified by creating a container of safety, trust, and love, both within ourselves, and with trusted allies.
“We’re walking contradictions, seeking safety and predictability on one hand, and on the other hand, a need to thrive through diversity and novelty.”
— Esther Perel
Loss of Relational Power
Do you ever find yourself trying to please others or conforming to their expectations instead of being true to your own needs?
Do you feel as if you need to continually “earn” love, rather than feeling intrinsically lovable?
Do you struggle to feel seen, heard, and connected in relationships?
When you’re in rhythm with your Relational Power you most likely feel:
The safety and trust to be vulnerable and open-hearted
A commitment to deepening emotional intimacy through the art of listening, attuning, and remaining curious
Empowered to own your needs, desires, and boundaries
A devotion to taking personal responsibility for your adaptive strategies, and to choosing connection over protection
When you’re out of rhythm with your Relational Power you might feel:
A struggle in setting boundaries or honoring the boundaries of others when they go against your needs
Compelled to sweep conflict under the rug, instead of taking leadership to have difficult conversations
Avoidant of asserting your needs in relationship when you anticipate it will disappoint someone else
A need to lure partners or friends into rescuing you from your anxiety or loneliness
