The Year of the Father and Daughter

Sandra had an unusually deep and sweet relationship with her father. He would lie on the couch and sandra would rub his feet and sing to him. It was a beautiful time they enjoyed together almost daily for years. She started to talk about her father, how he worked as a high school history teacher in Hawaii. They discovered that even seemingly trivial things often have roots in deep emotional experiences. To deal only with the superficial triviol without seeing the deeper, more tender issues is to trample on the sacred ground of another's heart. When we began to work from the inside out, we were able to build a relationship of trust and openness.
