Today she is professional, but there is a real air of annoyance. It won't take much to really make her mad, so watch it.

301--Family Unit Continues

OK, gang, here's the deal. Today we're talking about family again, both blood and created. I want to talk about both functional and dysfunctional.

[She purses her lips together and leans forward on her lectern]

How do we communicate our feelings? Not love, not nurture, not caring...How do we as people access and communicate the real feelings of family? Possesivness? Defense? A huge part of family is feelings of ownership and belonging. How do we communicate this, and what happens when it's interrupted?

Go. Talk to me.

"Part of belonging goes back to trust. When we are trusted by others, others open up and share personal details and family traditions, allowing us to be a part of "their" world, so we can adopt or adapt traditions and create a shared "our world." Compromise is also a big factor, and I think the more strong feeling we have for another, the more it becomes learning about them instead of trying to make them learn about you. Did that make any sense?"

Indeed it does. Tell me more about compromise.

Allie listens to Logan's answer with some degree of surprise. She can't help but wonder if he's referring to their dinner last night.
