It was bound to happen. One of her messages that I really loved - “I was really conscious of finding in that reflection what was left unhealed in me because I knew that when I went into my next relationship, I did not want it to be the same.

A special episode this week to talk in depth with examples about our most recently published framework, the ESD (Emotional Status Dashboard). The ESD (Emotional Status Dashboard) has the below 4 major components: 1️⃣ Identifying your emotion - reflect about the emotions being triggered and find a way to keep your partner in the loop 2️⃣ Nonverbal communication - to loop your partner in without the burden of sharing the details 3️⃣ Involving your partner - Don’t keep them in the dark and have them wondering what’s going on. If you don’t fill in the context for them, their mind will. They can’t read your mind. 4️⃣ Process the emotion - After digging deep into the triggers yourself, have a conversation with your partner to discuss it. Partners - hold the space for each other while the other goes through the cycle of the ESD. Say “I am angry” instead of “you did something to make me angry”. It is the individual's responsibility to understand and manage their own emotions. Even though your partner’s actions might have triggered the emotions in you, it is not their fault. We use the ESD (Emotional Status Dashboard) as a way to identify the emotion being triggered, share it with our partner and then hold a space to move forward with it without being defensive or assigning blame. How do you communicate with your partners when emotions get heightened? Do you have a framework or a process where you are intentional to build a healthier relationship? Or do you just “wing it”?

In this episode we chat with Silvia Dutchevici, a psychotherapist with more than 20 years experience working with individuals and couples on topics ranging from relationships, intimacy and how to survive a long term partnership. Some of the topics we discuss 🧑‍⚕️ Therapy to understand ourselves and our Partners 💪 How Power shows up in Relationships ⛪ Traditions and How People hide behind Culture 🎯 Shared Vision and Goals 🥷 Dealing with Conflicts and Practice to Fail We discuss how to become aware of power statuses in relationships and the power struggles so that Partners can lead into power negotiations. Shift our understanding of power is not something bad Cuz if it's something bad, it's something we don't wanna have. And then when we have it, we pretend we don't have it. And that gets really problematic, especially for couples Power means responsibility I have a responsibility to you rather than I have power, I exert it over you. Shift the way we talk Language is powerful. Pay attention to how you talk. Rather than saying I'm doing this for you, try I'm doing this cause I love you or as a gift to you.

In this episode, of "Skip the Beat", our discussion revolves around themes like Small gestures of love Specific Love Gratefulness toward your partner Takeaways Play with all intensities of showing love: show love in big moments and show love in everyday moments Show love often. We don’t have to wait for a big moment to show love. Love is an action - when we show love in everyday moments, we receive the opportunity to build a home that is filled with love. The moment of celebration should be special. We should make our partners feel like they are loved. Celebrating every day does not and should not detract from celebrating the special events and milestones. Instead, it is about adding to the celebration we do every day. The craving for giving love and receiving love can be fulfilled every day, we don’t need to wait for the big moments to express it. Two things to consider here are How - Intensity - how grand of a gesture you want your display of love to be When - Frequency - how often do you want to share your love Traditionally, the norm has been about High Intensity and Low Frequency, celebrating love every day is about Low intensity and High frequency. Planned spontaneity can help ease some of the anxiety that might revolve around planning surprises too often or not, based on how your partner defines what that frequency is. If you are requesting a form of love, be willing to show that form of love. Starting with self-love, if showing love that you would like to get from someone else, seems challenging as well.
