We've all been in this scenario:
Your partner asks or remarks to you on something that you don't want to do. 
Since we're scared of disappointing them and want to avoid a fight,  we "smokescreen" our truth and placate them. This often leads to heaviness, lack of play, mind reading, and tension.

The solution?

 “IT'S THAT IMPORTANT TO ME.”

In this talk, Galit and I unpack why using this sentence playfully with ownersh!t, can help you become more authentic and open with your partner.
Examples are given from the clinic and our life.
Practical tips will help you speak this simple truth effectively in your relationship.
