Understanding Energy Exchange in Relationships

In this episode, the concept of energy exchange in relationships is explored. There are two types of energy exchange: giving and receiving the same thing, or giving and receiving different things. Examples of giving and receiving the same thing include offering support for individual goals, physical affection, a sense of belonging, guidance, or emotional regulation. Giving and receiving different things can involve tasks around the house, finances and nurturing, stability and adventure, emotional intimacy and physical competency, or purpose and dedication. It is important to identify which type of energy exchange one desires in a relationship to achieve satisfaction.
