Differentiation Explained
the struggle to Differentiation is the BIGGEST issue couples present with in counseling. Its a normal developmental stage, yet complex couples can experience an added layer of challenge in accomplishing it
Self Differentiation: Skill in both identifying wants and needs AND sharing it with partner even if experience discomfort in doing so (given that there is a basic layer of safety present)
Other Differentiation: Skill in tolerating and inviting the others perspective to co-exist alongside yours, even if you disagree with it
Inner Differentiation: Self leadership in knowing your inner world’s different “parts” and their relationships with each other achieving inner “attachment”
