In this episode of the Searching Inward Podcast, Scott Reall, Seth Abram and Anna Bryant talk about the six hallmarks of healthy relationships, based on Dr. Patrick Carnes’ book, “Don't Call It Love.” Healthy relationships are essential for personal and relational growth. The three hosts unpack each hallmark discussed in Dr. Carnes’ book and why they are important for healthy relationships.
“Being pursued shows you have interest. It tells me that you care.” -Seth [04:07]
“And I do think it’s impactful. Like when you’re making eye contact, when you’re listening, when you have your phone put away, and you are zooming in on whoever is speaking or whatever they’re sharing, not to respond, not to give feedback, but to just hold space for, I think it’s a game changer for a lot of people.” -Anna [12:12]
“And a person did choose to leave, and it hurt, but I have this sense of dignity and honor about myself. You know what? I rather be alone in this way than lonely in a dishonest way.” -Scott [37:59]
