Default PBS: "This Emotional Life"

Hi,

This Emotional Life:

Quote:
Connection is created, navigated, broken, and repaired almost daily from the moment we are born. At the heart of being alive lies the vitality of being connected to others -- feeling that what we do matters.

What's more is that we rely on being deeply understood by those around us in order to thrive. But how do we learn about healthy connection? What does it look like to build strong ties with others? Where do we learn about relating with people and the world more broadly?

If connecting is so central to happiness, why does it seem so challenging to create deep bonds that last?
I'm depressed so maybe I should not be writing about this tonight -- wondering how someone creates deep bonds with other people?
