I love the idea of vulnerability, I adore it. Being vulnerable doesn't just mean trauma dumping on whoever walks in the door. It's about wanting to share your truth and having it seen and heard. You can't see someone if the relationship is only marked by silence. All good relationships have a level of communication that allows them to be sustained. And regardless of whether you are connected with someone through this magical, soulful, inexplicable bond, you still need to be able to communicate with them.
Platonic soulmates represent the idea that our deepest relationships and our strongest bonds don't have to be romantic, sexual or based on attraction, they can be between us and our friends. This idea of platonic soulmates has been on the rise, however, it's not a new phrase. Plato, the ancient greek philosopher, was one of the first people to identify this feeling of deep connection and understanding between two individuals that appears to be inexplicable or spiritual. From there, psychology has expanded on whether this concept is even real, why we feel this way towards certain people, what makes a platonic soulmate, the impact these relationships have on our wellbeing and lives and how to identify when one of these people has entered your life. Listen now as we deep dive into the psychology of platonic soulmates.
