How to Hold Space For Your Partner When Emotions Are High: Episode 150


Listen Later

If you have been listening to this podcast, you now know that escalating conflicts and argument hangovers are not from what started the disagreement, but what you said or did after that. It’s when you think to yourself “I don’t even remember what started this!” Part of why this happens is because we are not great at “Holding Space” for our partners when they have high emotions or are emotionally triggered. 

For some this might be a new term, holding space. In this episode you will hear about what this really means and then you will get 5 things to do so that you can hold space for your partner. By doing this, you allow for an environment of acceptance and love for you and your partner to have emotions and not make that wrong. It’s a powerful opportunity to connect deeper and develop emotional intimacy… when you appropriately hold space for the emotions they are having.
