"We all have the basic psychological needs of security (love and acceptance) and significance (meaning and purpose). Our relationships with family, friends, and others that are connected in our lives play an important role in meeting these very needs. Successful relationships and attaining life goals develops out of strong self identity, and a commitment to understanding another's perspective. It is also about learning and maintaining healthy psychological boundaries."
"Relational development starts with attachments to our primary caregivers and continues through relationships with peers and others as we progress in our lives. However, even in the best of environments there are inevitably missing pieces to our relational skills and we will face conflicts that challenges based on these unknown or hidden factors."
