Relationships Let's Talk About It!

Corey Costanzo is the Co-Owner of Asheville's Still Point Wellness Spa, a licensed addiction counselor, trauma specialist, licensed massage therapist, master didgeridoo player, colleague, and good friend.

In this episode, Corey and I have a conversation about what to do after a fight with your partner. We share our strategies and stories with our own spouses as well as tips and tools from working with our clients. We also stress how important it is to reflect on your own role. Think about how you may have contributed to the disagreement and how you could communicate better next time and...be willing to apologize for your part.

"Look beyond the surface-level argument to discuss the underlying needs, hurts, or problems that may have fueled the fight "

In this episode, I have a conversation with Misa Terral. Misa Terral is founder of Soulpower Dance, offering transformational classes for embodiment, joy, and self-healing. Her training as a licensed Occupational Therapist specializing in sensory integration, a certified Death Doula, and in nature-based spirituality cultivated her unique style of teaching and empowering others.

Dance and Movement are wonderful ways for us to embody our authenticity and express ourselves. It can boost confidence in ourselves which will in turn affect our relationships in a positive way. Misa shares her journey on how dance and movement helped heal an eating disorder as well as describing how this expression allows for "mistakes" and not being perfect, but instead find our true expression.

"Dance can be a good outlet for you or a tool that you can use to explore your emotions."

In this episode, I have a conversation with Cathy Courtenay. Cathy is a relational coach and facilitator. She works with both couples and individuals who are striving to find deeper connection and intimacy both with themselves and each other. She helps her clients to see the patterns of relating that are holding them back from what they truly desire. Cathy also facilitates the practice of the Circling Method where she creates a safe space for people where they can stand in their truth and experience what is real for them. Responding to life's call to find truth, Cathy is committed to a mission of helping uplift humanity and develop profound compassion and empathy in the world.

Most of us are challenged to listen non-defensively when we are triggered or our conversations start to get intense. Listening without getting defensive is a skill that can be learned. First awareness is key, know that ourselves or the other is activated. Self-soothing is another step in the process in order to regulate ourselves so that we can listen with curiosity and the intent to understand, not defend.

"If neither partner is resourced in the moments right after activation, that's when it gets really tricky."

In this episode I have a conversation with Eric Ingersoll. Eric is a relationship transformation guide. He knows transformation from the inside out, because he is walking this path himself. Once a brooding indie-rock musician using sexual fantasy to try and meet his needs for aliveness and acceptance, he has since learned the relational skills that empower him to get his needs met in his real-life relationships. By cultivating a magical blend of intimacy and autonomy, he and his wife are falling more deeply in love with each passing day. They now work as a team supporting individuals and couples that want to cultivate more aliveness and connection in their own lives. You can learn more about their work at ericandzucu.com.

Eric discusses how living in fantasy most of his life took him away from reality and made it difficult for him to create authentic intimate relationships. Through the continuous work around feelings of shame and inadequacy, and finding compassionate communication tools, Eric is now living a life that is more fulfilled, present, authentic and enriching. If you find you are continually living out relationships in the safe zone of your mind, give this a listen.

"Fantasy just became too painful, it conflicted with reality"

Mana shares with us what led her on this path and how she is continuously practicing this balance.

In this episode I have a conversation with my wife, Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky. She is the founder of Artsy Goddess Studio, where she actively carries out her role in helping others and the planet heal. Rainbow is passionate about art, as seen in the upcycled clothing she creates from second-hand materials, as well as the visual arts she creates, such as murals, paintings, and tapestries. She also helps women transform through voice empowering workshops and helps couples through workshops and retreats that she co-facilitates with me.

We talk about how to compromise in a relationship. What makes up healthy and unhealthy compromise. We talk about the elements of empathy, authenticity, good communication, balance and good intent. We also talk about acquiescing, giving in and resentments and how those play in compromising.

"No one's perspective is more important than the other's"

Corey Costanzo is the Co-Owner of Asheville's Still Point Wellness Spa, a licensed addiction counselor, trauma specialist, licensed massage therapist, master didgeridoo player, colleague, and good friend.

In this episode, Corey and I have a conversation about emotional flooding. That is when we get so overwhelmed with emotion, that the emotions take over, so we completely lose access to the logical part of our brains. We also lose access for empathy which is a key component to transform conflict. We also lose the ability to accurately assess tone of voice as well as facial expressions and see them as threatening because we are in the "flight/fight" response.

"Creating and maintaining strong boundaries is essential for avoiding overextending yourself to the point of struggling to regulate your emotions". - Corey Costanzo
