On Attachment

#54: From Honeymoon Period to Power Struggle: Navigating the Stages of Relationship


Listen Later

In this episode, we're talking all about the stages of a relationship - specifically, what happens when we transition from the honeymoon period of a relationship (fuelled by chemistry, romance and infatuation) to the power struggle (where all our flaws and wounds come to the fore).

We'll talk about:

  • what each stage of a relationship looks like
  • why the transition from honeymoon period to power struggle feels like a bait & switch
  • how anxious-avoidant dynamics overlay onto this dynamic
  • how you can make the most of the power struggle stage & use it to grow closer as a couple
