5/12 Expert Roundtable weekly discussion with Mynd Mvmt Intimacy and Relationship Coach Molly Godfrey. Molly and Mynd Mvmt CEO Samantha Benigno, MA,MS,CASAC,RYT, discuss the impact of the "stay at home" order and the level of additional stress and anxiety the Corona Virus is putting on our romantic relationships. Samantha and Molly explain that from a psychological perspective when we feel out of control or helpless it is not uncommon for us to turn our attention to trying to control everything we think that we can. Including those around us!

That said, it is very easy to get stuck in a pattern of feeling like our partners are driving us mad and like it is their responsibility to make us feel better!  It is easy to get trapped thinking, "I can't be happy unless or until they make a change"! For some its the small things like putting the toilet seat down, and for others it can look something like, "If you touch that bottle of booze one more time tonight I am packing my things and moving out!"    

Molly and Sam discuss what you can do to try and avoid this urge to control others, improve your overall health and wellness, and ultimately save your relationship during this crazy time.
