Quotes by Sue Johnson (?)

“In insecure relationships, we disguise our vulnerabilities so our partner never really sees us.”
― Sue Johnson, Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love

“If I appeal to you for emotional connection and you respond intellectually to a problem, rather than directly to me, on an attachment level I will experience that as 鈥渘o response.鈥� This is one of the reasons that the research on social support uniformly states that people want 鈥渋ndirect鈥� support, that is, emotional confirmation and caring from their partners, rather than advice.”
― Sue Johnson, Hold Me Tight: Your Guide to the Most Successful Approach to Building Loving Relationships

“Being the 鈥渂est you can be鈥� is really only possible when you are deeply connected to another. Splendid isolation is for planets, not people.”
