Assessing Compatibility

In several prior episodes, such as in Episode 2-18 titled “The Mystery of Compatibility”, we’ve delved into the multitude of factors that play into whether two individuals are a good “fit” for one another, in a given kind of relationship.  We’ve noted that personality, personal history, and the circumstances in which people meet are all factors that affect degree of compatibility.<br/><br/>In this episode, we’ll give further consideration to what one can do, in assessing the likelihood of a mutually-satisfying deep connection with a new relationship prospect.   Obviously, that sort of assessment is at least as much art as science--- but there are things we can do to increase our chances of success in creating a fulfilling new connection.Dr. Claude Cruz is a relationship and intimacy coach based in the Portland, OR area.
