Relational Awe

Gabriel also discusses the idea of relational awe, which emphasizes the importance of sharing awe experiences in relationships. Rather than experiencing awe in isolation, sharing these moments enhances feelings of mutual understanding and validation.

• “Relational awe strengthens your connections because you are seeing the same thing together and having this emotional experience, which allows you to bond in a way that goes beyond the surface.”
• This is important in friendships because shared awe builds a deeper emotional connection.
