Date Posted: 12:50:59 04/25/05 Mon After taking the course on sat. I left with a lot of information and new ideas. I had also been able to open up and reflect on some past situations and look at them from a new perspective. One thing that came up that really caught my attention was when Nicole began to explain that she only becomes intimate with those who come to her clean, not half hearted or with partial attention. Those who come to her clean are taken in with open arms, those who do not aren't given the time of day. After hearing this I began to think about in-group on thursday and how I had been so pissed off at Nicole for ignoring me and feeling uncomfortable around her. This confused me because at times I felt so close to her and welcomed. Then it all made sense. I realized that often enough I came into the group arrogantly and not giving my full attention to all thoses I wished to connect with. I almost expected them to fully come to me with only putting in partial effort. I also realized that the times me and Nicole did connect I was giving her my full attention and coming to her clean. After the workshop I told this to her and I saw a big smile grow across her face, as if to say "there you go, Its about time you figured that one out." I realized that my arrogance and any other wall I put up was mainly my fear of being rejected. It goes to show that if we fear being rejected and set ourselves up for it by creating barriers, we have left others no chioce but to reject us. How can we expect them to connect with us intimately when we do not open up ourselves fully. I hope my honesty will inspire others to come clean to those they wish to engage. *Thanks Nicole* [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
