Soothing Each Other's Triggers - Secure Relationships Part 5

Get the FREE handout for this episode HERE

Imagine noticing your partner's distress instantly—and knowing exactly how to soothe it. In this episode, Sharla and Robert dive into partner soothing.

Learn how to uncover 2-3 enduring vulnerabilities, avoid triggers, and use simple antidotes to uplift each other. Learn why 24/7 availability isn't codependency (it's a system of mutuality and interdependence), plus get exercises to identify vulnerabilities and a fun "how well do you know your spouse" game. Turn your “couple bubble” into a haven of healing and joy.

Your Homework – Do This Week

  1. Identify vulnerabilities: Brain dump incidents, feelings, patterns—boil to 2-3.
  2. Spot partner's: Review past reactions, discuss to confirm.
  3. Create antidote lists: Soothers for each vulnerability.
  4. Play the game: Test ideas without telling—observe reactions.
  5. Discuss: Share lists, spark expertise-building talk.
