Understanding emotional drivers & finding solutions together
There are key areas in which couples can find themselves in a struggle for control. Areas such as who gets to decide, leader/ follower dynamics in the relationship and what we do with our money.
Even the healthiest couples can get into power struggles in these areas and have to work through challenging conversations to work out what will work best for them going forward. What can make these discussions even harder is being too emotionally overloaded.
Before having these discussions do I need to be clear on what is driving me here. Are my reactions and anger only driven by the present, or am I bringing in unresolved residue from past relationships?
How can I get clear on what my emotional drivers are so that we can have the best chance to reach a workable solution together. How can I help myself so as to help us?
