    Such an impactful interview! As a therapist who works with women in struggling marriages / long - term relationships its hard to single out just one gem. I think two standouts are- 'criticism is the annihilation of the other person' and 'it's not what you say, but how you say it'. Thanks for this excellent content!

      Hi, I promise you they're out there, my first husband went to two sessions and quit, he just wasn't ready for himself or for me, but the process I found so beautiful and miraculous in what I witnessed in him that I never forgot it. When my current husband and I hit a rough patch 2 years ago and I almost left, I remembered and asked that we go, then I almost backed out, remembering the part where I was the dragger and the draggee my former husband, wasn't ready. I thought, been there, done that and I said so. However my current husband insisted we try, even though he had initially refused, he said, "I want to go because I'll always wonder if I was wrong, otherwise. This way, we'll know we did our best." He's a very smart man, that was probably the one thing he could have said to convince me to try, he made a lot of sense and we have a combined family of 5 kids to consider. We went and we were both amazed at the results, which were relatively speaking very quick and I really thought I knew what was what, being a therapist, lol. Wow, was I amazed, I learned more about my lost parts and shadow and how to own how I said and did things that were triggering him and vise versa, we calmed down so much and learned how to really hear and see each other. Truly profound and so much so, that I went and did the training and I can promise you that I see hundreds of men attend and open themselves to transformation right along with the women. Sometimes the man is even the dragee! It's a beautiful thing. Being open ro possibilities has been life changing. Blessings

      Read the Empowered Wife by Laura Doyle. It’s about only working on yourself to see changes in your partner without them even knowing. I read this second and I put both of the skills together and I promise you it works.

    I did the opposite. I consciously looked for someone who was the exact opposite of either of my parents. But just because he was not like either of my parents didn't mean it was the relationship that was to last a lifetime.

    Hey Shay, it’s a great interview, thanks! Full of wisdom and words of advice. Nevertheless, I am surprised that abusive relationships are not mentioned. I imagine that this couples work is great for two healthy and respectful people, but what if there’s abuse involved ? Gaslighting? Character assessination? Being dishonest?
    We can’t just assume that everyone who is in a relationship is with someone sane. When there’s power and control, it is not always 50/50

      Dr Emerson Eggrichs gives good information about this. You must decide whether your partner is good willed or evil willed. Evil willed wants to destroy you. Then it's abusive and leave for safety... Emotionally also. But if he is just frustrated, an immature bully and Don't have enough skills...... You becoming healthier can pull him up to more health with you.

    Curious... As they were discussing the "opposites attract" diad (about 27 minutes in), I couldn't help but think about how I draw vulnerability out of people, thus attracting emotionally unavailable partners to myself. They comment how they feel safe to be intimate with me--I'm not afraid of their vulnerability, but they appear to be afraid of mine. Any thoughts about this relational dynamic? Recommended resources?

    • @doughnuttouch6944
      @doughnuttouch6944 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Hey, I hope it's ok that I give you some of my thoughts on that.
      1. Maybe you "draw" the vulnerablity out of people as a way to connect. This is pretty common for co-dependants (not to say that you are one).
      2. That people have the feeling that you are a safe space to show themselves, does not mean the can handle their own insecurities.
      So how can they handle yours?
      3. Maybe you do not attract this partners, maybe it's just pretty common for ppl (men) to not work with emotions and you just dicover this some time into the relationship and think you picked the wrong one. We all need time to find out how someone ticks.
      4. Beware of the dynamic to go first and take their stuff to somehow hope and expect they take yours afterwards and then feeling dissapointed, like the victim.
      5. Its really hard, but try pretty soon to show some vulnerability and look how they handle this. If it goes bad, don't make it about you. You've just catched it earlier.
      I really like Richard Grannon's work on co-dependancy, because it's brutally honest about our part in the dynamic. Also Lisa A Romano and the book "Overcoming love addiction" gave me really good insights.
      You are not alone in this. ❤

    Sheleana, I discovered your work with Rising Woman about a week ago. As I wait for my library loan of your book to be ready, I have been listening to any podcast interviews with you that I can get my hands on, watching your TH-cam videos, reading Rising Woman on Instagram and the official website, and bookmarking titles on your book lists. This interview is my first introduction to “Getting the Love You Want,” and I am grateful to you for being a vessel for this important work.
    I’m writing this comment to say: I had never heard of the concept of the “catastrophizer,” and in your example of you and Ben, I see myself. It’s nice to hear that even individuals in relationship who have done a great deal of work on themselves and on the relationship may have those moments of catastrophizing after a rift or argument, and that this, too, is “normal” and can be an opportunity to learn and grow.
    I look forward to reading “Getting the Love You Want” after I finish “Becoming the One.”
