Confidently Communicate Your Needs with Your Partner
Do you tend to downplay your needs or push things aside, thinking “It’s not such a big deal” or “It’s not worth getting into a disagreement about this right now and making it a bigger thing?”
Are you not voicing a need or a feeling unless it feels relevant to a bigger issue?
Are you taking care of everything for everyone else, ensuring everything remains harmonious and balanced?
Your needs matter.
To authentically and confidently share your needs so that your partner can show up for you the way you desire, the foundation for connected communication must be set.
It’s easy to stay caught up in a cycle where you downplay your true needs (especially as empaths) because it’s “not that big of a deal,” simply because you want to avoid potential conflict.
Long-term, this only leads to more disconnect and feelings of isolation.
In this new series Conflict to Connection, we will be exploring how conflict can actually cultivate deeper intimacy in your relationship, and how to lean into it through deep and vulnerable communication.
Tune in to this first episode in the series to find out:
* Why you are not addressing your needs or downplaying them, and you don’t even know it
* If you are actually sharing your needs or if you’re just really good at talking a lot
* Why you feel disconnected in your relationship and that it’s not about your partner (*gasp*)
* Why being an empathetic person who meets everyone else’s needs actually makes it harder to meet your own
* How to have the (difficult) conversation with your partner - and the mistake that you’re making when you’re sharing your needs
Episodes in this series:
Ep 1/6: (Current Episode) Confidently Communicate Your Needs with Your Partner
