Y'all-- sometimes we fall off of social media due to a desire to only post if we've got the perfect post. Sometimes we jump right back on because we're so excited to see one of our favorite authors with a new Works in Progress paper! Go Maureen Walker!

Sometimes people mistakenly believe that Relational-Cultural Theory means just being nice. Stifling any disagreement. But if you aren't disagreeing, it's likely not a fully authentic relationship. None of us agree on everything. Subordinating your own needs in order to placate someone else and preserve a relationship doesn't actually preserve a relationship, it preserves an appearance of connection. Sometimes it's necessary, or isn't worth the effort to engage in productive conflict, but if it's a relationship you care about, find ways to come out of hiding. RCT can help.

In Relational-Cultural Theory, we don't ignore the world outside the therapy office. RCT isn't value-neutral. Relational-Cultural Theory sees and names the damage of hierarchy, oppression, and hyper-individualism. We have to be able to see it, and name it, to heal from it.
