Episode notes

To be secure in a relationship is to have both of those things, is to be able to come back to the harbor, to anchor yourself, to feel rooted, and then to get up to live and to go and play without having to worry.
What is it that you don't have to worry? You don't have to worry about the fact that while you go, you're leaving somebody there who is suddenly bewildered and anxious and depressed and angry, but actually somebody who is totally at ease letting you go. Or that you worry that when you come back, they won't be there.
And that hide siek, that's why that game is so important, is to know that even when i'm gone, i live inside of you. Even when i'm gone, when i come back, you'll be there. Even when i'm gone, i take you with me.
