Dealing with Blame and Big Emotions in Your Relationship — Alyson and Tripp Lanier
Is it easier to do a cold plunge than to deal with your partner’s emotions?
If your partner’s in a bad mood, should you just be their punching bag?
And do you spend more time focusing on solutions or who’s to blame?
Today Alyson and I explore navigating big emotions in a partnership. We explore how to deal with intensity while also setting boundaries against aggression and good old-fashioned drama.
In this conversation:
- Emotions spiraling out of control
- Learning to recognize drama
- Being skillful when things get emotional
- Complaining instead of making requests
- Dealing with intensity
Plus:
- Feeling responsible for your partner’s mood
- Refusing to be the punching bag
- How to “be okay” even when they’re upset
- The importance of mindfulness
- How our past impacts our current relationship
