'Three, you feel the most loved and super connected when you are being your authentic self.'
The expert continued: 'Four, you are interdependent on each other which means you feel solid in the bond you share while maintaining a strong sense of self.
'Five, you feel safe saying "no" or setting a boundary and confident it will be respected.
