#87: The most underrated relational skill: Containing disappointment

Disappointment is one of the most uncomfortable emotions we experience in relationships and one of the most important skills we’re rarely taught how to hold.In this episode, we explore containing disappointment as a relational skill: the ability to stay present, self-connected, and grounded when reality doesn’t meet our hopes without collapsing into self-abandonment or hardening into emotional shutdown.We’ll talk about why disappointment can feel so threatening, especially for those with attachment wounds, and how many of us learned to avoid it by over-giving, staying quiet, or leaving too soon. And we’ll explore what changes when we learn how to stay with disappointment long enough to let it inform our choices, rather than letting it run them.💛 Done feeling like his mom?
