The Importance of Healthy Interconnection

When we develop healthy independence, we are fully okay as we are without the need to prove ourselves or get things from other people to survive. In this place, we lose interest in manipulating others for personal gain. We have no interest in people pleasing or being narcissistic to control people to get love or intimacy. It's a totally different mindset. They're mature, they're growth minded and as a result of that, they are sustainable. And these types of relationships foster and encourage independence because the more each partner can become more of their own independent self, the more they can grow and thrive and be happy.
