The most effective way to move forward in a relationship is by engaging with those internal issues, rather than kind of putting them on the other person who's sitting there in the relationship. And when you do this kind of counterintuitive jujitsu thing, if you will, of really receiving the other person on the basis of a very strong unilateral stance of personal autonomy, notice it when it goes well.
Dr. Hanson and Forrest on the nature of relationships, what some big "red flags" are, and how to create a frame of effective communication with the people you care about. It's a fun episode, hope you enjoy it!
