For this week’s discussion I would like you to read a chapter taken from The Space Between Us on
Eye to Eye Validation

PROMPTS:
On page 105 the author shares that “In order to learn to know what we want and what is inside of us, someone has to be available to recognize it with us- but not to confuse us with what it is that they think we ought to want or what it is that they want or feel.”
What are your thoughts about this statement and what does it mean in your life?
On page 108 the author states that “The feeling of not being undersood is one of the most painful in human experience.”
Do you agree with this and why?
On page 111 the author writes “Who we are in other’s eyes affects our sense of our own reality- who we are in our own eyes.” What
do you think about this statement?
