When You Don’t Know

135. How to Talk to Your Partner About Relationship Anxiety


Listen Later

👉 If you struggle with relationship anxiety or ROCD, one of the hardest questions is:

“How do I tell my partner what’s going on in my head… without scaring them, hurting them, or damaging the relationship?”

In this episode, we’re talking about how to have the conversation and how to know when you’re actually ready to have it.

Because sharing your anxiety isn’t about confessing every intrusive thought.

And it’s definitely not about offloading your anxiety onto them. In this conversation, we cover:

    •    How to explain relationship anxiety to a partner who doesn’t experience it 

   •    What your partner actually needs to know — and what they don’t    

  • ​    How to talk about anxiety without making your partner responsible for managing it  

  •    Common mistakes that accidentally fuel more anxiety in the relationshipIf you’ve ever worried that being honest about your anxiety might push your partner away, this episode is for you.
