Express Yourself But Make Sure You're Not Relying on Your Partner For THIS: Episode 133

Express Yourself But Make Sure You're Not Relying on Your Partner For THIS: Episode 133

Being able to fully express yourself is one of the most important aspects of being in a relationship. This is what allows you to be known by and connected with your partner! This is what leads to a healthy and loving relationship.

However there is one thing to this, that could have you be dependent on them for. It will also lead to diminishing your own ability to self-sooth and self-regulate your emotions.

On the other hand, by not relying on your partner for this one thing, you will feel more freedom, emotionally steady, and safe for your partner to more vulnerably express themselves to you!
