Highly Sensitive, Happily Married

How To Invite More Sensitivity Into Your Marriage


Listen Later

 #004  The power is in YOU to shift the course of your marriage. It starts with developing agency over your feelings.

Because how YOU feel has the power to bring you closer with your significant other or push you further apart. 

You want to feel connected and supported. But instead, maybe you are experiencing lots of heavy emotions. You:

  • feel alone or not fully cared for, 
  • feel annoyed or uninterested in being around him a lot of the time, 
  • feel resentful because you are pulling more weight, 
  • or even feel guilty for some way you are acting.

This is the kind of thing I hear all the time. . It’s normal----AND painful. Not what you were hoping for in love. And NOT what you need to settle for.

Much of this comes from looking solely towards your significant other for happiness and care. If the only way you know how to get the sensitivity you want (care, understanding, affection) is from your husband doing things in a certain way, power struggles and dissatisfaction will become the norm.

The good news is YOU have a powerful influence over your own feelings! It starts with being sensitive to your own self.

In this episode, I go into depth on this and share a practical method to help you be more empowered around your own feelings (a personal go-to favorite), so you can get more of the sensitivity you are longing for, and start shifting the dynamic in your marriage to an easier more loving one.
