@estherperel_official: There is a paradox at the heart of our relationships: they are one of our greatest sources of meaning, belonging, and aliveness; and yet we are becoming more closed off from one another. We want connection, but hesitate to reach out. We want intimacy, but protect ourselves from uncertainty. We want to be known, but fear the vulnerability of being seen. This tension, between our need for one another and everything that gets in the way of reaching one another, is part of what I’m taking on the road in my brand new show, Strangers, Friends, and Lovers. Tickets for my world tour are on sale now. I hope you’ll come be in the room with me.
