Your Partner Doesn’t Want Help With Their Feelings?
When your partner avoids emotional support, it can feel confusing and lonely. But it often stems from shame, fear, or past conditioning—not rejection. Learn five reasons this happens and how to respond with compassion.
In this meeting, Julie dives into the crucial role of emotional safety and communication during disagreements. She highlights how it's not the disagreement itself, but how couples handle it that truly matters. Learn how being open, curious, and validating each other's emotions can help maintain a safe space for constructive conversations.
Julie also explores how small arguments often mask deeper emotional needs, like wanting to feel heard or valued. She addresses how different attachment styles (anxious versus avoidant) can influence communication and encourages couples to better understand each other’s emotional needs.
