279: Relational Self Awareness

Relationships require us to look at ourselves and work to understand our past and how it shapes us today. We often get caught up in what we want, need and expect from our partner, but need to look within first. Listen to today's show to learn how to do this important work. In this episode with Dr. Alexandra Solomon, we discuss relationship advice topics that include: How to look at our family system and how we were raised to understand how it can affect the present Understanding what happens inside of us when our partner annoys or bothers us Writing exercise that will help you gain a deeper understanding of a present conflict How to become an ally for our partners healing How the healthiest and happiest relationships function best And much more!
