No fear or defensiveness in hearing the authentic feelings of another.
In turn, talking from the heart, with depth, emotion and vulnerability;
regarding how you are feeling.
Both, without false selves, keeping each others' sharing as gifts and trusting that it was safe to open up.

"...I'm deeply concerned by recently adopted policies which punish children for their parents’ actions ... The thought that any State would seek to deter parents by inflicting such abuse on children is unconscionable."
