What is Seen?

This person notices the real you — not just the role you play or the image you project. Being seen means your full complexity is acknowledged, including the parts you are still figuring out. It is one of the most powerful experiences a relationship can offer.

When you might feel seen

Seen is a specific form of understood, which itself is a type of bonded. You might experience this feeling in situations where bonded is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define seen.
