That difference is the gap that needs to be bridged.When our view of ourselves is not consistent with others’ experience of us, we tend to reject their view and cling to ours rather than open ourselves up to the possibility that perhaps the experience of others is valid.When you have reviewed and reflected on the gaps, return to the online classroom to respond to the prompt.4© 2024 Walden University, LLC
