RCT theorist describe the positive outcomes of a GFR and being engaged in relational connection by the “five good things”: (1) zest, evidenced by increased energy and vitality; (2) an increased sense of worth and personal value; (3) clarity of self and other, understanding one’s role accurately in a relationship; (4) increased productivity, which is linked to the experience of being empowered; and (5) a desire for more and deeper connections (Comstock et al., 2008; Duffey, Haberstroh, & Trepal, 2009; Jordan, 2008, 2018; Miller, 1986; Miller & Stiver, 1997). These outcomes, which can look a little like a “love bubble” in a new relationship, are very different in their ability to sustain themselves and fuel a more authentic relationship.
