Episode 49: Functional hopelessness

Other people are frustrating. However, it's often the case that
our frustration stems from their unwillingness or inability to
live up to our own unconsciously projected values. What if other
people never live up to the potential we see in them? As we
relinquish the hope that others will be anything other than who
they are, we may be able to move in the direction of authentic
relating based on acceptance and respect -- or move on from those
who will never change.
