    The Fear Dance

    "Fear Dance,"  the four-step pattern of relational and emotional response originating from hurt. The steps are sequentially identified as "You Hurt," "You Want," "You Fear," and "You React," explaining how relational pain leads to various "wants," which, when threatened, result in specific fears. These fears, rooted primarily in the desire for connection and control, ultimately trigger various reactions that often damage relationships, such as the pattern of Defend – Attack – Retreat.

    "Repair" a rhythm for deeper connections

    Are you familiar with that voice in your head that beats you up, with messages of contempt, blame, or even hatred?  Maybe in a similar way, you’ve actually used your words to make it clear to others how you feel about them, to push them away.  Perhaps you’ve even expressed such messages toward God to put distance between yourself and Him.  These are relational ruptures that separate us from the deep intimacy we were created to give and receive and they leave us isolated and alone. In this episode, Dale Hodgeson talks about developing a rhythm of repair for the relational ruptures in our lives, a rhythm that keeps moving us out of isolation and back into life giving connection with ourselves, others, and God.
