Breakups obviously are never fun to navigate, but what if there was a HUGE piece of preventative relational medicine that so many people miss?
Well good news, there is.
It's called owning how you co-create your relational shit goggles. In this very open and vulnerable episode we "out" our shadow material and share with you the core negative images we hold about one another and how that gasp actually creates more rapport and closeness.
Not a clue what we're on about?
Well tune in for these nuggets:
• The core negative image you hold of your partner, becomes the thing you're combating most.
• When we exaggerate the negative aspects of a partner it's a way to create psychological and emotional distance (usually because we could use some sprucing up of our boundaries).
• If we can't own up to the ways in which we're difficult, the ways we're difficult will own us (and sabotage our relationship).
• The top ways Jamie is difficult.
• The top ways Kelsey is difficult.
• Jamie's core negative image of Kelsey
• Kelsey's core negative image of Jamie.
• How knowing and outing these pieces has and does impact our relationship.
• How reparenting helps to calm down the core negative image, take responsibility for our annoying and difficult aspects, and ground into a much more emotionally intimate space within the relationship container.
