Intimate Conversations

Ann from Relationship Wellbeing Specialist

Fear was taken from the reality of Merriam-Webster. Intimacy was taken from the reality of human relationships. Ultimately, when we are afraid of the possible consequences, we cannot trust our partners to listen and fully support us – especially not when it comes to our deepest feelings, hopes, or dreams. And why should we?

Our internal wiring prevents us from opening our hearts to those we fear will hurt us emotionally, from worries that they will let us down, to terror and anxiety about their potential to leave us. This is, in the language of evolutionary psychology, called an adaptive trait. It’s healthy. We need to protect ourselves!

Dr. Gottman understands this. His book on trust tells us to listen to these feelings, but also provides incredibly important methods for discerning how trust functions (or malfunctions) in our relationships. He doesn’t waste any time in getting to the core of the issue: trust begins in emotional attunement. Emotional attunement is often rooted in the ways in which we speak to each other – trust is built and broken in our everyday conversation.

What will become of E Scooters?

Three things can happen in NZ:
A total ban
Allowed on pavements at a max speed of 10km.
Allowed only on cycle lanes.

Our pavements (footpaths) are becoming a war zone.

Normal bicycles are illegal to be ridden on pavements but are.

Wheelie Bins can clog up space.

kids and others on normal scooters often use pavements at "racing" speed.

Skate boards are used on the pavement mostly at a fast clip.

Then we have the "normal" usage - pedestrians, joggers, people with prams/buggies, people walking dogs, disabled people in wheelchairs or electric chairs, people who are intoxicated. Pedestrians come in all ages and abilities - some idle, some might (have to) veer right or left. Dogs on leashes and children might take a sudden lurch right or left.

Some people want cyclists aged up to 12 and even beyond to use the pavements as of right.

People and dogs getting injured - seriously or minor on our pavements is growing at a alarming rate.

There is a war going on with footpath usage no longer just for foot traffic.

Those travelling on the Wairarapa services will also be delayed as Metlink awaits clearance for the services to run. Melling services are still running.

The damage to the track and signalling machinery was caused by an excavator working on scheduled maintenance overnight. The excavator derailed near Taita, closing the track. Keep up to date here
