Hello, In an English (American) text I recently found the term "stepping into the puddle" repeatedly used, sometimes in quotation marks, sometimes without. Can anybody help me clarifying whether this expression is an idiom, and what does it indicate? Thanks in advance!
Hola Amiga, "Stepping into the puddle” refers to conscious emotional attunement to another person, meaning you have to temporarily stop being so concerned about your own feelings, needs and desires, and instead tune into how your mate is feeling, and what it’s like emotionally to feel the feelings she’s going through. This asks of you to temporarily let go of your critical judgments and emotions in order to be emotionally available to your intimate partner. Stepping into the puddle with someone else is about temporarily joining them with your presence, your response, your touch and your heartfelt participation. adios
