My mentor introduced me to the work of Susan Scott and I use her work today. Over the weekend, and it took us talking about it 3-4 times again, Scorpio and I drilled down to the root of our problem.

It’s not about sex.

It’s not about objectification.

It’s about her feeling like she and I are a team.

She said that we have the ability to figure anything out and get creative.

In a Mineral Rights Conversation (Scott) is used when you have to think of the good of a group and an ideal outcome for your relationship.

One of Scorpio’s best friends is having a camp themed birthday party in the woods in three weeks.

When I learned that our first night of connecting alone was off of the table, I didn’t want to go at all.

That was met with sadness and anger.

I liked it when she named both of her emotions and also told me that I was acting like a baby. There wasn’t anything disingenuous about her approach and I love the way in which she deals with things so head-on. I also think that I was getting all worked up in an unhealthy fashion.

Describe a tough conversation that you’ve had in which you challenged your own thinking directly through having the ability to consider fully yours and another’s reality.
