In this episode of Ready Set Love, the relationship science podcast hosted by Ethos Wellness clinician John Howard, we cover the essential skill that makes relationships work. This is a core task of being in relationship that opens the door for a deep, happy and fulfilling partnership. This is a topic we repeatedly revisit with clients, and you'll get to learn this skill and how to implement it by listening to episode 59 of Ready Set Love.
This episode helps you learn how to be an authentic individual in your relationship while also tending to the important connection needs of your relationship. You'll learn how being too selfish and self-centered can harm your relationship, and how being too giving and generous can harm your relationship as well. You'll learn how to implement the important balance between those sides of the coin: how to advocate for yourself without being selfish, and covering the connection needs of your relationship while remaining an authentic individual.
If the same patterns keep showing up in your partnership, it may help to read about the signs you could benefit from couples therapy, or contact our client care team confidentially to get matched with a clinician.
