#194: Bids for Connection
We all have the desire to feel seen and heard by our partners. In this episode, Lara speaks with Dr. Wally Goddard about bids for connection in marriages and relationships and how we can learn to correctly interpret those. Enjoy this replay from one of the first episodes recorded on Married to Doctors! "More often than we realize, we're making bids for connection with the people we care about. We're saying essentially, 'I'd like you to be part of my life.' And unaware that a bid has been made we often turn away, we're distracted, or we turn against. We say, 'I don't have time for that.'" -Dr. Wally Goddard
