Mainspring Approach

The term paideia best captures the use of kindness, which is the cornerstone of the Mainspring Approach. Cornel West explains paideia in his memoir Living and Loving Out Loud.

This process uses the power of kindness towards self to interrupt the pattern of suffering in secret and in silence. An invitation to create space to explore what it means to feel accepted in my own story, loved in my own story; my truth. 

An invitation to explore  assumptions and expectations that were not met. In other words, exploring broken promises.  Kindness allows the couple to   unite in one intention, one story-embedded in acceptance and empathy.  

Kindness wraps the family in empathy. Families invested in  kindness have no limits to what they can explore or achieve. The invitation is to learn how to use kindness as a pathway to love, understanding and forgiveness.
