An interesting concept I really enjoyed this week was the concept of balancing the interpersonal tensions. They are called Dialectics, the tension between them, the pull in relational tension, change is the norm and relationships are always doing this. The three are called expressive-protective, autonomy-togetherness, and novelty-predictability dialectic.
Expressive-protective dialectic is finding a balance between the need to share personal information and the need to maintain privacy.
Autonomy-togetherness dialectic is finding a balance between spending more time together and the pull from wanting more privacy, being to themselves.
Novelty-predictability dialectic is the tension between becoming too boring with the same behaviors pattern and too much novelty makes one feel uncertain about outcomes of certain situations
