In this episode, we explore how to go beyond the usual "How's work?" and ask deeper questions like, “What are you learning about yourself right now?” to build more meaningful connections.
We also dive into key questions for new relationships, inspired by therapist Jeff Gunther. What counts as cheating? How do we handle privacy, exes, and boundaries? Tune in for insights on fostering communication, trust, and understanding in any relationship.
List of Questions:
QUESTIONS TO ASK SOMEONE AT THE START OF A RELATIONSHIP
- What counts as cheating?
- Are there certain things we mutually agree to NOT tell eachother? What if an ex texts me? What if my friend doesn’t like you? Do you wanna know or should I handle it privately?
- Are there things in our relationship that are just for us, is it okay if I share everything with my therapist, family or friends? Where is the line for privacy?
- Do you need to know if I have hooked up or dated any of my friends? Would you feel weird or upset with meeting someone I had a past with?
- How do we feel about staying in touch with an ex partner?
- How do you feel about me being close with the gender or genders I'm attracted to? Does it bother you, do you want to meet them?
