Is there someone you want to connect with but can’t? Do you find it difficult to get along with someone you live or work with and find the tension unbearable? Is there something you truly wish to express but hold yourself back because the person might judge you? Perhaps there’s a brave conversation that you would like to have with someone and you want to know how.
What stops us from having deep conversations? Ever tried to say something important to someone only to be met with a response like, “Are you okay?” or “Is something wrong?” or “Are you going to die?” People have notions about deep conversations as being too serious, too deep or too awkward. We make assumptions that people are uncomfortable with deep conversations even though deep down we all long for that kind of connection. And unless someone initiates it, our conversations simply stay on the surface.
Why would we want to have deep conversations? Fundamentally as human beings, we want to connect and have meaningful encounters that are rich and fulfilling. We seek to be heard, understood and valued. We try to understand others so that we can draw support and solidarity from other people and derive a sense of togetherness.
