Several listeners have asked about handling disrespect, especially when it comes from your partner. And I get it:
Disrespect is a breeding ground for contempt. And contempt will sabotage any healthy relationship you have.
So, what do you do when you feel disrespected?
In today’s show, you’ll discover what you should do when you feel disrespected, the root cause of disrespect you probably haven't considered, and how to turn disrespect into respect instead of letting it blossom into hate.
Listen now!
