On Attachment - 5 Things to Normalise in Long-Term Relationships
play

10/24/23 β€’ 22 min

In today's episode, we're talking all about things that we need to normalise in long-term relationships. So much of the time, our expectations about our relationships - that they should be harmonious 100% of the time, that we should love everything about our partner, that we should never doubt or question our choices - leave us feeling confused and anxious.
When really, the problem is not with our relationship - it's with the pressure we've placed on our relationship to meet an unrealistic standard of perfection.

On Attachment - The Pillars of Trust & Trustworthiness

My hope is that you'll walk away from today's episode with greater clarity about why you might struggle with trust, and the steps you can take to remediate this in your relationships.
We'll cover:

  • the interplay between trust and trustworthiness
  • the five pillars of trust
  • how self-trust and relational trust are connected
  • building trust through small acts over time

We'll cover:

  • the spectrum from codependency to hyper-independence
  • interdependency as a healthy middle ground
  • how different attachment styles relate to codependency, independence and interdependence
  • signs of healthy interdependency in a relationship

In today's episode, I'm answering a listener's question of "How do I know if my relationship is worth fighting for?" This is a big question, and unfortunately it's one of those messy ones that no one can tell you the answer to. What's worth fighting for according to one person, might be simply too hard and too much for another.
We'll cover:

  • fear of regret no matter what we choose
  • focusing on what you can control
  • how to do things differently rather than staying stuck in the same loops
