How to Create "Emotional Safety" So Any Topic Can Be Brought Up: Episode 189

Are there any topics left in your relationship that you feel you can't talk about? Perhaps you no longer attempt certain topics or expressing your emotion on certain things because your partner's reaction makes you feel "emotionally unsafe."

Being in a truly healthy and empowered relationship means that you should always feel safe to talk about any topic. Of course saying "talk about any topic" really means "talk about any emotion you are having".

In this episode you will hear:

  • The critical mistake you yourself are making that has you feel unsafe
  • The goal of being able to share your true emotions with each other
  • 4 ways to create emotional safety
