Jerry & Kristy consider the dual nature of words, as they are used in relationships. On the one hand they matter very much -- as they can be source of great pain or comfort. On the other hand some of the most profound moments of your relationship have very little with words. As with most tools humans use to connect or disconnect with each other, it is worth consideration. We culminate in a fight, showing both the damaging nature of words and their potential to initiate repair. 

Negotiating in relationships can be tough. When we're trying to find common ground, but we've got different points of view, there's a feeling of competition which means there's an underlying winning and losing mentality going on. With this mindset, each person walks away feeling like they gave up more than they wanted, which leads to disconnection, resentment, and frustration. But today, we're going to change all that because you're going to learn my five steps to effective negotiation in all your relationships so you can both walk away feeling connected, supported, and heard.  ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/the-five-steps-to-effective-negotiation-in-all-your-relationships Grab my FREE list of Collaborative Questions: https://abbymedcalf.com/collabques Enjoying the Relationships Made Easy podcast?

Do you struggle with loneliness in your LDR?? Ugh …that part of distance is SO challenging! Join Abe and Elaine as they discuss the different types of loneliness in distance and how to combat it! How to “lean in” to the distance!Song Abe sings:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z3RNWMHkkE4

"Why He Withdraws" is a follow-up to the last Figs & Teale episode, "Pursuer Problems," and it's Figs' turn for an "affect assembly" with Teale's help.After just a bit of stalling, Figs describes a recent negative judgment of Teale after she didn't text him when she was out with her friends like he asked her to and then went out paddling the next morning before he woke up.He describes these judgments as "inconsiderate," and then—hinting at the deeper vulnerability—"hypocritical" and "unreasonable."Figs, in feeling not considered by Teale (a more classically Pursuer sensitivity) actually started to access all the times he felt judged as the inconsiderate one (his deeper Withdrawer "not enough" sensitivity).He then, in touch with those feelings of not being good enough, tried to be "good" by not outwardly expressing those negative judgments of Teale—which Figs now knows was not actually the "right" thing to do.While walking through Figs' negative judgments and feeling not good enough, Teale demonstrates her acceptance and love of Figs—which is hard for Figs, who is struggling to let it in, and who feels like it's unacceptable not to be able to.In voicing that, however, Figs can see that Teale is also able to hold that "unacceptable" part of Figs, and he is able to experience relief and connection.

This episode addresses the importance of interpersonal support systems and couples friends. It talks about the difficulties, but also offer some tips. People sometimes outgrow their friends in some ways, and it's important to surround ourselves with people who are in our same life situations.

Spirituality in a relationship isn't just about whether you go to temple, church, or mosque together. What we believe (or don't) either religiously or spiritually touches everything from how we spend our time and money to how we raise our children and even what friendships we keep. Today I'm going to talk about the common mistakes couples make when there are different religions or spiritual beliefs (and I made every one of these mistakes myself, by the way), my top three action tips, and I've got an amazing free exercise to help you find that common ground and peace. ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/managing-different-spiritual-beliefs-in-your-relationship Grab my FREE Family Crest Exercise: https://abbymedcalf.com/familycrest Enjoying the Relationships Made Easy podcast?

There are lots of reasons folks may be less than excited to sign up for couples counseling: dealing with uncomfortable feelings, digging up your ugly skeletons, and sobbing in front of a stranger come quickly to mind.

Dave and Falen discuss religion, the Black Hills, Couples Counseling and more!

Mothers are often seen as the primary parent. As such, mothers may face unrealistic pressures about parenthood and their roles as friends, romantic partners, employees and individuals. A Northwestern Medicine psychologist discusses how to break free from the sexist norms that impact all relationships and ensure that you are supported by your partners in your parenthood journey.

They're messy, and you're neat. They're a saver, and you're a spender. They're a free spirit, and you like things to run on a schedule. You're a homebody, but your partner always wants to be out with people. The idea that opposites attract has been around for centuries, but is it true? And, whether it's true or not, how the hell can you find a way to happily coexist with someone when there are so many places you don't align? Today I'm answering all those questions and teaching you my three-step process for getting out of the feeling of being opposites and back to those feelings of attraction, so stay tuned!  ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/do-opposites-attract-what-to-do-when-you-and-your-partner-seem-like-opposites Grab my FREE Couples Business Meeting Checklist: https://abbymedcalf.com/couples-meeting-checklist Subscribe today to get my love letter to you!

After some more horror match-making with The Dating Game, Andy and Philip try to help Julia from Hellraiser (1987) decide if she should attempt to solve her sweaty, aggressive side-puzzle-piece or stay hooked to the the ol' box and chains.

Jerry and Kristy explore the shaping of our self-esteem -- and the impact on later relationships -- that occurs related to our own body image issues. The impact of early family influences, societal messaging, the internet and advertising on internalized shame and doubt is profound, and shapes what we bring into our relationship with a similarly insecure human being.

How can you go about figuring if a relationship is really over? Whether you'd be happier without it? Kristy and Jerry discuss the intricacies of deciding when separating and ending a relationship is the right thing to do. Alternately: how can you come to peace with things that annoy you in your partner that just never seem to change?

Whether you call it technoference, phubbing, or just plain annoying, dealing with technology in our relationships can be challenging. From over 50 years of research, we know that the quality of our social connections is the number one predictor of our happiness. We also know from the research that email, social media, online gaming, and texting are poor substitutes for those crucial in-person interactions that help us feel secure and happy. Since smartphones, social media, and other technology are pervasive and universal, how do we find the balance? Today I'm sharing all the things you need to know about how technologies are impacting your relationships and my top seven tips for finding balance and connection instead.

Try explaining something you don't understand; you can't do it without laughing or wanting to cry.Let me explain.You're in a funk, but you're not sure why; I mean, life is going really well right now; you should be partying like it's 1999!You can't explain it to your spouse, so you withdraw, which could be understood through their lenses as you're mad at them for doing something wrong.Nothing gets resolved, and you continue to distance yourselves to avoid feeling awful.This is not good communication, but it's what happens in the lives of many couples.What do you do about this problem?

So many of my clients come to therapy looking for some type of closure. From breakups to being fired to getting over childhood trauma, it's a common human condition to look for endings or bad events to be explained and wrapped up so you can move on. But can you ever do that, and if you could, would it actually help in the way you're hoping? Today I'm teaching you what closure really is, the three reasons why what you're doing hasn't worked, and my three-step process for finding closure for real.
