Relationships: what you bring into the connection

Closeness and distance are rarely only about the other person. A calm way to look at what you bring into a relationship.

Relationships: what you bring into the connection

Conversations about relationships often centre on the other person: what they do, avoid, say. What you bring yourself is harder to see — and that is exactly where the room to change something sits.

Two movements

Almost everyone has a default movement when things get tense: moving closer to fix it, or stepping back to breathe. Neither is wrong. Trouble starts when two people do not know which movement the other makes.

Three questions to start with

  1. When was the last time I went quiet instead of honest?
  2. What am I asking for without saying it out loud?
  3. Where am I confusing safety with habit?

From pattern to conversation

Recognising a pattern is not the same as naming it. One concrete sentence — "I notice I pull back when we talk about this" — does more than a long analysis.

MyRadix helps you notice those patterns from your own birth details and your own words. No judgement, no prediction: a mirror you keep thinking with. With the Relationship Compass you can also reflect together with someone else.
