Bringing Up a Charged Topic
Manage episode 336686279 series 2796983
Something your partner did cause you pain and frustration. You want to tell them what hurt you, but you seem to always end up in a fight when you bring it up. Sound familiar? In this episode, I get into the specifics of how you can deliver feedback about something your partner did and what you'd like them to do differently in a way that actually gets results. Every single couple has to have these conversations, but you can develop skills that can reduce the negative fallout and even bring you closer.
As you listen to this episode, you’ll hear about:
- What NOT to do in an emotionally-charged conversation
- The steps you can use every time to have conversations that help you feel closer
- How to remember the point of these conversations when you're in the middle of it
- Reducing the amount of residual pain that comes from messy conversations
- Why and how to take ownership of your feelings in a conversation
And more.
“That's a big part of what relationships can do for us. They give us a safe place to work out old feelings”
-Michele Lisenbury Christensen
Hot Moments in This Episode:
- Why you shouldn’t “air your grievances” (3:57)
- How a laminated checklist helped my relationship (9:41)
- Why you might set a time limit on your conversations (11:08)
- The “cheap booby prize” you may be taking instead of satifaction (15:02)
I hope that today's podcast can help you have conversations in a more productive way and feel like your pains are actually doorways to more closeness, deeper intimacy and more joy together. And may the light within you illuminate the world around you.
