The Loving Truth

Why We Resist


Listen Later

In this episode, I unpack the subtle but powerful ways resistance shows up in our relationships, both in our partner and in ourselves.

Whether it’s denial, blame, or even sarcasm, these are just avoidance tactics we’ve learned to protect ourselves from feeling hurt or rejected.

But when every hard conversation is met with pushback, we stop having them. And when we stop having them, we stop repairing the relationship.

I’ll walk you through the 12 most common forms of resistance.

You’ll know how to recognize them and what to do instead: stay present, hold the hard moments with compassion, and keep connection alive even in the messiest conversations.

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being aware and doing better when we know better.

Struggling to decide whether to stay or go in your marriage and you’re serious about finding that answer?

Book a Truth & Clarity Session with a member of my team. We’ll discuss where you are in your marriage and explore if there’s a fit for you and I to work together so you can make - and execute - the RIGHT decision for YOU and your marriage.
