Connection and relationship at home or at work require a mix of 3 factors: Independence, Interdependence and Dependence. One of these may be front and center at any given time. An ebb and flow based on situation and choice.
In our North American culture we overvalue independence and control and undervalue interdependence and dependence.
Typically, we might perceive someone as weak or broken if they partner with or worse, depend on others to lead the way in a particular moment.
From a fear-based position we think control and independence will increase our safety and success. However excessive independence and control often bring just the opposite.
A mix of Independence, Interdependence and Dependence is a good thing.
