The Friendship Formula Part 2: Finding Freedom in the Frailty

In this episode, Part 2 of The Friendship Formula, Dr. Dunne
continues to unpack the practical and theoretical social science
research on relational development. Many of us try to find our
worth, value, identity, and purpose in external identities, but
the health of our interpersonal relationships really depend on
facing an alternate truth: we will never be able to maintain
healthy relationships with others if we do not first possess a
healthy sense of self. Breaking the paradigm on fierce
independence, this episode explains the socio-emotional base for
vulnerability, demonstrating how our natural human
insufficiencies are designed to draw us outside of ourselves,
connecting us to others sociologically, biochemically, and
generationally. There is freedom in our frailty.
