Are you an expert at the sulk and serving up the silent treatment? It can be hard enough managing our own big feelings but what about when we need to let our loved ones in on our emotional chaos in a way that won’t leave them running for the hills?

 

In this ep, we chat about:

  • Pre-gaming emotional tiffs before they blow out
  • Growing out of the allure of the soulmate and having grown-up conversations
  • Sharing observations, feelings and stating what we need in our relationships
  • And what happens when we say what we want, but we still don’t get it
