A short transcript from a YouTube conversation (Gary Brecka interviewing another speaker) defining "deep connection" as open, vulnerable, attentive conversation that makes people feel seen; the speaker links this feeling to oxytocin as a biochemical affirmation and contrasts it with the instantaneous nature of the modern world disrupting desires.
When we say terms like depth of your relationships, what does that really mean to you?
Deep connection is like open, vulnerable, loving conversation where we meet different parts of ourselves that we feel, like, afraid to talk about, ask amazing questions to the person we're with, and we don't focus too much on ourself, but we, like, really let them speak. We listen carefully. And you know when you're with someone and they really make you feel seen and you feel like, wow, this person's, like, really listening to me, and it feels good. And oxytocin is just like the biochemical affirmation that that is taking place between you and the instantaneous nature of the modern world is what's breaking our desires.
