Holiday traditions or obligations?

Are you decompressing from the holidays? Us too! On Episode 11, we break down the holiday traditions we are building and the holiday obligations we are no longer choosing to participate in. Trey shares how we stumbled into Christmas Tree trauma early on in our relationship and Lauren explains how she attempts to protect his nervous system without sacrificing what is important to her.

We hope this episode provides you with the opportunity to chat with your partners about the traditions that do and do not serve you! You'll see us do it in real time!!

How do the principles of consensual communication apply to what we allow ourselves and our families to do over the holidays? You'll have to listen to find out!

Lauren and Trey talk about levels of trust and how an act of service ALWAYS begins with the one who is accepting the gift of service. The request for help can sound like, "will you do ________ for me?" And the one who is being asked can then say, "Yes, I will." or "No, I will not." This modality from Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent modality has been a game changer for their partnership! You can follow Dr. Betty Martin on YouTube to learn more about the art of giving and receiving!
