A framework called The And Way rejects either/or thinking in conflict. Instead of cutting someone off completely or letting them walk over you, it finds a third path: set boundaries while staying connected. The approach counters social media's push toward extreme positions.
Chapters
Your practice is called the and Way. It is trademarked. It's very much yours. It's also the title of the new book. What is it? What inspired you to create it?
Yes, it's all about not living in these extremes. A lot of times we feel like we're given these two extreme options and realizing that there is a lot of gray that we can move within. I think a lot of times we oversimplify, and I think social media has given us a lot of those options to oversimplify things. Water it down so we can put it as the title of a magazine article or the Quick reel, and instead there's so much complexity available to us, so much complexity within each of us and in our relationships. One of the main things that I talk about is the complexity in relationships and therapy around. You don't have to just cut somebody out of your life once they've wronged you or once you've had a hard time. There are a lot of ways you can set boundaries and have a different kind of relationship. That doesn't mean no contact completely, or it doesn't mean that you just get walked all over and you let anything happen either.
