Episode 12

Get So Upset

How do we handle differences with our partners? Are we excited by them?  Are we drawn to them? Are we repelled by them?  We explore the stress we are under, dealing with loneliness and looking at one of the difficult catch 22’s of partnership.  We share tools about how to not take things personally and learn to expand our understanding and compassion of each other and our differences.
