I needed help.

A patient came to my rescue.

She said to me, "Illness starts with I."

I.

Isolated.

Disconnected.

And, "Wellness starts with We."

There's a lot of "We's" in life.

Doctor-patient.

Doctor-doctor.

Doctor-nurse.

Daddy-kids.

Husband-wife.

Brother-sister.

Son-father.

My "We's" needed a lot of healing.

My relationships.

My partnerships.

My self-compassion.

I needed CPR to resuscitate my relationships.

To me, CPR stands for Connection, Presence and Resilience.

Connection: No iPhones, only eyes.

Presence: Being present to what's working in the relationship and what's not.

Resilience: Doing whatever it takes to keep the relationship healthy.
