Shifting
What is Shifting?
The relationship is changing in ways that require both people to let go of an older version of what it was. Shifts can be disorienting even when they are healthy, because they ask you to release familiarity. Staying curious rather than resistant can help you navigate the transition together.
When you might feel shifting
Shifting is a specific form of redefining, which itself is a type of evolving. You might experience this feeling in situations where evolving is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define shifting.
