Inner growth is a slow process. It takes large amounts of work on oneself and the fact of choosing oneself before anything else leads to growth. It first happens internally and then slowly shows up externally as well. Psychotherapist Emily H Sanders addressed relational growth and how it shows up in people and in their behaviors in her latest Instagram post. Emily wrote, “As you grow the way you show up in relationships will start to gradually change; the way you interact with and feel around others starts to shift little by little.” Emily further added that for relational growth, one must expand in self-awareness, self-acceptance, quality of relationships and empathy.
