Relationship conflict gets harder when you make your partner’s emotions mean something about your worth. In this episode, I explain how to stop treating frustration as rejection and start treating it as useful information about what your partner may need. The goal is not to force her to explain every feeling perfectly or to avoid every mistake. It is to stay grounded, pay attention, and respond with the same leadership, care, and willingness to learn that you already use in other parts of your life.
Welcome to Mental Health Mastery where we talk about how to reduce anxiety and depression dramatically, how to move past a lifestyle of just "coping" with bad mental health, and how to have lasting, daily peace of mind. I share the many lessons learned by going from suicidal to depression and anxiety-free in my own life and what I've learned helping over 400 clients reclaim control of their own mental health. We believe you deserve to have significant mental health, and we're excited to help you learn how to have it—hosted by Ty Hicks.
