Aspects
Descendant Square Pales
Pales presses on your partnership point at a hard angle, so the instinct to shepherd keeps colliding with the give-and-take a real partner needs. You over-tend just when the other wants to stand on their own. Let the friction teach you where care ends and control begins.
Lean in — Use the tension to learn when a partner needs space, not minding.
Watch for — Do not let protective hovering crowd out a partner's independence.
- partnership friction
- control vs care
