E021 - Know and Let Yourself be Known ... a Relationships Secret


Listen Later

This is the Psychology of Relationships part 6 by Jerusalem U. Knowing and Being Known, Expressing (Real and Authentic) personal thoughts and emotions … This vulnerability is so important for being real and authentic. Let your true desires be known, and then your partner should be accepting of them, and if not - talk, and talk about it some more. There is always a compromise, agreement, or shalom (peace) that can be reached if your release of information isn’t taken well. Working through the problem comes back to the idea of spending time and EFFORT, to make things work out.
--- Remember --- what is good chemistry? ……. Answer?…. Feeling comfortable with the other person. When you are yourself, and you be so with this other person, that is a really good chemistry. In life we have many masks. Some of the masks are for our work, others are for our friends, and yet some for our family. But, with our partners we MUST be able to allow our thoughts and true opinions - in a healthy manner, be expressed. No one should feel stifled, or that their voice is quieted due to the pressure or verbal / non-verbal response of the other person.
- - Create an air of safe space around you. If you react poorly to news, and your partner notices, that can definitely be a deterrent to them sharing information that may get you to react similarly. People naturally fear rejection, so we have to Shomer Lashon (guard the tongue) … and our body language, so that … even if it is not what we want to hear, we still bring a neutral face and mouth to the table. This will build your Empathic Accuracy. Some explain this skill as EI (Emotional Intelligence) or SI (Social Intelligence) … but all of these are truly related to their cores, and should be seen as such. The point is to know what’s happening within and with the person that you’re with. (giving more reason to take up the art of meditation)
I hope that you enjoyed the podcast!
