ABSTRACT
The notion of ‘shared experience’ as prerequisite to friendship is the basis behind this intervention. Partners have not built up adequate sharing of their worlds due to gender segregation, lack of trust, fear of betrayal, rigid gender roles and power restrictions. However, being able to get inside the experience of the other is at the root of wanting to share; as friends we want to help out as much as possible, we cannot exploit our friends without losing the friendship.
