Relations
Relations may assume many forms as in sentimental links, friendship, family links or professional associations. They imply shared experiences, mutual communication and a sense of shared commitment or investment. They may be positive and nourishing offering support, love and companionship, or being a source of stress and conflicts.
Building and maintaining healthy relationships comes first and foremost from the ability to understand our own needs and difficulties rather than denying them or attributing them to others.
Integrating the shadows
The process of acceptation and integration of the parts of us that we tend to refuse or to hide to ourselves and the others is precisely what is intended here with "integrating the shadows".
Facing such problems in-depth requires an internal work to carry out within an established relationship of help; however, what we can do independently is a valuable work of prevention.
To this end, Vita 4.0 offers a simple preventive method of self-observation and internal dialogue, useful in order to avoid as much as possible accumulations of tension, resentment or anger.
