In this episode, I'm answering a question I receive all the time which is: "How do I tell my partner they are avoidant so that we can start doing the work?"
We cover:
- The importance of being honest & self-aware about our intentions in introducing a partner to personal development work
- Navigating anxious attachment tendencies around the saviour complex, over-functioning and taking responsibility for what's not ours
- Why "the work" might look different for everyone
- How to approach conversations about relational growth in a productive, balanced & healthy way
