This isn’t another conversation about communication techniques or “trying harder.” It’s about something far more uncomfortable and far more powerful. Drawing from years of therapeutic work, I share a surprising insight

They quietly surface tension, resentment, and those unspoken power dynamics no one wants to name.Have you ever paused mid-holiday chaos and thought, wait… whose holiday is this really?
