Asking for help – and accepting help that is offered – makes me cringe. As my family prepares for a major celebration for one of our members, I’ve noticed that my husband and I have radically different ways of dealing with people offering to help.

Few of us look forward to confrontation. When we have “issues” with someone our energy has become strained or “jammed up.” We often feel the energy between us and this person has become a battleground and confronting them feels like we’re heading into battle.
