Shownotes Transcript

In this week’s podcast, my wife Ellen and I continue the discussion on attachment dynamics and give tips for all you ‘pursuers.’ 

If you are the pursuer in your relationship who always wants to connect with your partner, especially under stress and anxiety, we want to help you learn how to communicate your need for connection better so you don’t drive the other person further away.

Here are two very important questions I ask all couples to think about:   

Do we want the same kind of relationship? What do you really want out of the partnership? 

Listen in as we answer these questions. 

Shownotes:

  • 1:45 Being there for yourself
  • 5:20 Understanding your partner’s position
