Connection - Disconnection - How do we get it right? Part 1.

 This is an interesting and tragic problem.  

Some communities around the world would look at this and wonder why on earth we are even talking about it, while others  - like those of us living in large cities and towns across the globe are trying to solve it. 

We are either too connected or not connected enough.  The pandemic created an entirely new way of being connected - or did it?  Most of us can get online and do our work from our homes, we can chat to our friends and family on the other side of the world, or on the other side of town or even at the other end of the office.

Is this a good thing? Is there one answer to that question or are there many?

Over the next few weeks, I would like to consider this theme and try to offer my voice to the conversation in the hope that it may spark some ideas for those of us who are struggling with connection. 

Each time we pass someone we know on the street and smile or nod to them that is called a transaction, and the science called 'Transactional Analysis', or TA. The same thing happens in the office when we meet someone in the kitchen that we don't work directly with, there is a transaction.  How are we doing without all of those transactions?  

What can we do to foster them if we need them?  (and a lot of us do!). 

What can we do to disconnect when we have lost our boundaries? (as many of us do!)
