Description

If you have been listening to this podcast, you now know that escalating conflicts and argument hangovers are not from what started the disagreement, but what you said or did after that. It’s when you think to yourself “I don’t even remember what started this!” Part of why this happens is because we are not great at “Holding Space” for our partners when they have high emotions or are emotionally triggered.  For some this might be a new term, holding space. In this episode you will hear about what this really means and then you will get 5 things to do so that you can hold space for your partner. By doing this, you allow for an environment of acceptance and love for you and your partner to have emotions and not make that wrong. It’s a powerful opportunity to connect deeper and develop emotional intimacy… when you appropriately hold space for the emotions they are having.   Resources For Your Relationship: Join the 5 Day Couples Challenge that starts April 26th, 2021. Connect with other couples as we go through daily training of the 5 C's for a strong relationship, get a FREE book, and win challenge giveaways!    About Us: We’re The Freemans, your go-to couple for authentic and actionable relationship advice.
