Wild Wellness with Jess

98. When your partner's afraid

Listen Later

Is your partner resistant, unsupportive, concerned, or afraid about you eating differently? This episode is for you! I have BEEN THERE, and I help so many of my clients with this obstacle. You're not alone!

This episode is NOT about your partner being a jerk and you should just ignore them and do it anyway. I care about how your partner feels, because I know YOU care about how your partner feels. 

(If you're not partnered, you can also apply this to any other close relationship in your life where you wish you had more support.)

You'll learn:

  • How to use your partner as a mirror and explore how YOU are actually afraid of the things they are bringing up
  • How to work through your own fears and clean up your side of the street so that you can be a safe, neutral space to help your partner process their fears
  • How to NOT HIDE but still know and respect your "audience" and respect yourself
  • How to NOT ask for permission but instead to ask for concerns and overcome them together
  • How to NOT promise your partner that you won't change (because you will!) but what you CAN promise instead
  • Why you don't have to change anyone else to get what you want
  • What's normal voicing of complaints and concerns vs. what's NOT normal and emotional abuse, and how to work through it
