Getting in touch with our feelings and emotions is much easier said than done. If we can learn to understand our emotions and where they come from, then we can begin to improve the relationship with our self and our partner. Childhood trauma and neglect are the root causes of many personal and intrapersonal relationship issues. Listen to today’s amazing show for valuable tips on navigating the minefield of our emotions.
In this episode we discuss relationship advice topics that include:
- How to pay attention, understand and communicate your emotions and feelings with your partner
- The importance of validating your partner’s feelings and how to do it properly
- Why you should not argue over who’s ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.
- Childhood emotional neglect and why it’s likely impacting your relationship
- The dead end of arguing about facts and events rather than the root issues in your relationship
- And much more!
