An E + M Mini: Shaping the Shadows You Bring to Relationships
Our shadows in marriage show up when we feel like our survival is at stake. Yet sometimes that might be during a brief and simple moment, not necessarily a moment when bigger things are going awry.
Yes, these moments of dysregulation largely happen when our window of tolerance is smaller for whatever small reason on any given day, and as such, they often clash with the way our spouse and family attempt to survive and thrive.
And yet it’s the little moments like these, moments when we are sharp or short or withdrawn from one another, that hurt relationships if we're not intentional.
This is because when we're afraid, we need each other the most.
In this mini-podcast, I walk you through awareness of why you may have certain shadow propensities, as well as talk with you about how those have been both productive and maladaptive for you. I share some of mine too, as I prepare to spill my heart in the book also next week on release day!!
Tune in here to find out what to do when shadow behaviors creep up here, versus letting these automatic negative inner scripts run your life down.
I hope you’ll join me right here for this E & M mini!
