It’s important to have healthy expectations in a relationship.
In a healthy relationship, you are each getting your needs met and meeting the needs of the person you love and trust the most.
But it can be challenging to express your needs effectively. Especially in that initial conversation with your partner. Sometimes the verbiage we use can trigger the other person leaving them feeling attacked instead of inspired.
And things can get even more muddled if you don’t know what your expectations for your life or your life together even look like.
So, how can you effectively communicate your wants and needs to your partner in a healthy way? And what can you do when expectations are not being met or are no longer realistic for you as a person or a couple?
On this episode of Destined to Be, we walk you through some different options for determining your needs in life, and your relationship. Then we offer some guidance on how to communicate those needs effectively, so you can alleviate triggers and inspire growth and trust on both sides of your relationship.
We describe ways you can build your self-esteem so you can communicate your needs from a place of value. We’ll also discuss how working with a professional through these conversations can be both eye-opening and life-changing for both you and your partner.
Listen in for insight on how to communicate so you can create the safety you need in your life to grow and allow for the growth of your partner and your relationship, too.
