Your Pocket Guide to Authentic Relating
How to stop censoring your feelings and bring your full self into your relationships
What do you feel when you hear the word “authenticity”?
Some people freak out. They think that to “be authentic” means to show your rawest feelings, whether or not you’re up for it.
Other people cringe. “Authenticity” has become such an overused word in the personal growth niche. “Being your true self” doesn’t mean much when you heard the phrase in a scammy, sales-oriented context too many times.
Finally, there are folks for whom being authentic has real value. They’ve experienced it enough to know it’s not just a sales word. But not so many times that they take it for granted.
These people know how that authenticity can be tricky. Yet, it doesn’t stop them from practicing.
If you’re among the last group, read on. I’m going to share some insights on how to bring authentic relating (also known as AR) into your relationships. Even the established ones which don’t seem to have any obvious possibility for shifting.
