Are you an expert at the sulk and serving up the silent treatment? It can be hard enough managing our big feelings, but what about when we need to let our loved ones in on our emotional chaos in a way that won’t leave them running for the hills?
In this episode, we chat about:
Pre-gaming emotional tiffs before they blow out
Growing out of the allure of the soulmate and having grown-up conversations
Sharing our observations, feelings, and what we need in our relationships
And what happens when we say what we want but still don’t get it?
