How To Handle Different Paces In Emotional Growth


Listen Later

When emotional growth happens at different paces in a relationship, it can create disconnection and frustration. This episode explores how partners can navigate this dynamic by cultivating curiosity, avoiding shame-based interpretations, and validating the complexity of individual growth paths. Rather than rushing to conclusions or trying to control the other, the hosts encourage compassion, open dialogue, and creative ways to reconnect.


In this episode, we cover topics such as: 

  • Avoiding Righteousness
  • Pause the Binary Thinking
  • Asking Open-Ended Questions
  • Exploring Other Support Systems
  • Discernment and Clarity
