In this episode we discuss how our loved ones don't always get the best version of us?’

This is something we probably all recognise at times! We perhaps make more of an effort with work-colleagues and friends than we do with those at home. Is there something about it being more comfortable – perhaps we can relax and ask for our own needs to be met at home in a way we can’t in the outside world? There is, after all, a freedom in being able to be ourselves without feeling that we might be judged.

We muse on how this shows up in our own lives, and also explore the idea of ‘silent seething’ – our expectations that those who matter most to us ‘ought’ to know what we are thinking and what we need.

Additionally, Adrienne offers some suggestions from her work with couples that might help with showing attention to our most important relationships. We discuss how giving our loved ones our full attention can strengthen our relationships and make them more easeful.
