I was wondering if there were any differences between the way one would RTR with parents, and with friends. Like, when I'm telling a friend how I'm feeling after something they have said, and they tell me how they feel, what's next?
I mean, do we ask each other why we might be feeling that? It's hard for me to imagine an RTR conversation without a dead end where both sides have nothing to say. Can anyone help me out with some examples?
EDIT: The reason I'm asking if there are any differences, is because with parents, we can be a 99% sure that our emotions were trigered by them during the conversation, and not ghosts from the past. And with friends or acquaintances, it could be that we are seeing them as our parents, and the scar tissue might be the one that caused those feelings. That's why I'm assuming an RTR of that kind would be somehow more engaging and deep.
