Episode Connection vs Safety

0:00 53:17

In this episode, we talk about how couples can use simple “scales” to better understand each other’s energy, desire, and capacity. Instead of assuming what your partner means when they seem tired, anxious, disconnected, or resistant, naming where you are can turn confusion into context. These tools help couples move out of all-or-nothing thinking and into clearer, more generous communication.

Main talking points:

•

Energy Check-Ins

•

Naming Capacity

•

Getting Context

•

Importance Scales

•

Avoiding Assumptions

•

Collaborative Language
