Highly Sensitive, Happily Married

Emotional Delegation 101


Listen Later

192  If there has been one major underlying concept that I have woven into nearly every episode of this podcast, it is the concept of emotional delegation (or its opposite, emotional agency). BUT I’ve never made a podcast episode solely dedicated to making sure you understand this concept. So today is the day! 

I made this episode to clearly define emotional delegation for you, and help you see how it may be playing into your relationship challenges, and so you can start the journey of letting it go — because it is really the #1 underlying habit that pretty much EVERYONE falls into that hurts our relationships (and you're not going to hear about on many other relationship podcasts. I truly can’t understand why this gets left out so often, because it is pretty much everything when it comes to marriage problems!)

So listen in to learn:

  • What emotional delegation is and how it completely disempowers you in your relationship.
  • Where emotional delegation comes from (hint, both nature and nurture) and why pretty much everyone does it.
  • Signs of what it looks like, so you can recognize if you may have this habit.
  • Why understanding it is so important.
  • Why emotional delegation is so detrimental, and the specific tolls that it takes on you and your relationship.
  • My own personal stories of how it has affected me and my relationships.
  • And what happens when you learn to stop emotional delegating, and step into its opposite: emotional agency.  

As you recognize that you are emotionally delegating, you hand yourself, and your marriage, a huge win. When you stop doing it, and begin to step into emotional agency, instead, you empower yourself even more, and give your relationship the very best chance to become the truly loving one you have always wanted. So don't miss this essential episode.
