Sven Loss: What Does It Take To Thrive In Relationships? | EP 13

Welcome back, everybody, to yet another episode on the „Heart of Man“ - this is one that I am personally incredibly excited about as we're going into a deep dive into the intricate world of relationships.

I am thrilled to introduce Sven Loss to the podcast, a dear friend and relationship coach who has made it his mission to help individuals move from unhealthy to healthy relationship dynamics.

In our past conversations, Sven has humbly admitted to me that the reason he knows so much about relationships today is because he has failed at them for the majority of his life.

The big turning point came when he came out of a very challenging relationship over 4 years ago that ultimately ended with infidelity.

Heartbroken, and committed to never be in the same situation again, his circumstances propelled him on a journey of self-discovery and take ownership for the ways he's contributed to the dysfunction in his relationships.

This led him to unpack the traumatic experiences of his past, bring awareness to the ways he's learned to cope and lean into the confronting journey of leading from his own authenticity.

Today, Sven sheds light on common relationship patterns, helping individuals identify areas that are asking for healing while equipping individuals with the skills to create the inspired relationship culture they desire

In many of my interactions with fellow men, I've observed that many of them are brought on the journey of developing themselves when they are met with their own limitations to relate romantically. And I feel deeply for them – because this is exactly how my own journey started over 8 years ago.

In our conversation, Sven and I cover o a wide array of topics such as the importance of listening, the importance of fully being with our partners without attempting to fix them, why we as men need to have a capacity to be with our emotions, the obstacles many couple come up against and the essential relationship skills required to create a healthy relationship culture.

And that is only a glimpse of the rich discussion ahead!

In this conversation, Sven and I cover following topics:

• Sven's personal journey of being in an unhealthy relationship dynamic
• Why relationship is the best mirror to yourself
• The importance of listening
• What to do with triggers when they arise in relationship
• How to tend to unhealed past experiences, so they don't leak out in our relationships
• Some of the most common dynamics that arise for most individuals in relationship
• Learning to be with our partner's emotions without going into "solution-mode"
• The importance of making ourselves vulnerable in relationship
• The fundamental understandings of "Attachment Theory" - and how this influences our personal relationships
• Why we do not need to fix ourselves
