How can we find more compatibility? Using your instincts to bridge the gap
Relationships are all about learning to connect, challenge, and adapt to one another’s gifts and ways of thriving in the world. When we are no longer thriving in our instincts, but over-or-under usng them, our spouse or partner tends to feel incompatibility with us and our inflexible behaviors do not bring us the joy they promise. We are no longer seen as comforting, fun, adaptive, and expansive but rigid and cut off from growth - a major turnoff for partnerships. Tune into this E + M-mini as Christa shares the subtle and not so subtle ways your self-preservation, sexual, and social instincts can flare up in a relationship and cost you everything - as well as how you can turn that around for good!
