Episode notes
Use Mindfulness To Process Feelings
- Practice mindfulness by tuning into the physical sensations your emotions create in your body.
- Use writing or gentle touch as outlets to process feelings before reconnecting with your partner.
Find Emotional Outlets Early
- Take 10-15 minutes post-date or while at home to journal or share feelings in a supportive space.
- This helps center yourself and reduces emotional charge when reconnecting with your partner.
Ask "How Are You Feeling?"
- Start reconnecting by asking your partner "How are you feeling?" to foster open emotional sharing.
- Focus on sharing qualitative physical or emotional sensations over valuing them as good or bad.
