I thought it would be clever to ask you what flavor of person you liked best, but running through the potential answers in my head made it abundantly clear that it would likely turn problematic real quick, so let’s forget I even suggested it, shall we?
Flavor is the way our bodies interpret the signals they receive from food, and it’s a helpful tool in figuring out what to eat and what to reject. In a similar way, we process information about the people around us to determine who to draw near and who to push away. That can feel really personal — especially when you’re being rejected by a child you’ve brought into your home.
In today’s episode of the Hunger for Connection, we take the idea of flavor and apply it to relationships. When we discover how much of our interpersonal struggles are based in autonomic responses to sensory information, we begin to have more compassion for ourselves and others and learn that healing comes when we recognize the role flavor is having on our hearts and minds.
