Relationship Truths: Redirecting and Making Space for Someone Else - with Chris Warnes


Listen Later

Chris Warnes is back on Alison Answers: Mission Awake, with another very important episode all about relationships, and how we can strengthen the relationships in our lives. Alison and Chris dive into the topic of dealing with someone in our life that often plays a victim, aims to make us feel guilty and at fault, and may be unaware of how to communicate more effectively. Relationships are all about communication, yet so many people don’t know how to communicate in a way that both expresses your feelings, and doesn’t trigger a defensive feeling in another person. 

Getting to the root of our feelings and actions is the real key, yet is often overlooked. Someone with an “eggshell ego” may not know how to communicate effectively, so Alison and Chris share how you can make space for that person to come to a realization of the effect of their actions. It is also our responsibility to do the work to undo our subconscious programming and learn to be in a healthy relationship.
