EP. 24: Why Smart, Self-Aware People Still Struggle in Relationships
from Life and Love by Design · host Odette Coronel
It’s time to put down the attachment-style books! I have very smart, self-aware clients who struggle to communicate well in their relationships. They’re always fighting with their partners, and it’s not because they can’t properly analyze the relationship patterns they’re seeing. It’s because they’re not feeling their feelings. Overanalyzing and overexplaining will not fix your relationship. It’s actually making your problems worse. What will help is connecting with your partner on an emotional level, and that means getting vulnerable. In this week’s episode, we're talking about why smart, self-aware people still struggle with relationships. You don't need to read another book, and you don’t need to analyze another attachment theory. Chances are you’ve already read what you need to know. What you do need is to get vulnerable, and in this week’s episode, I'm going to help you do just that.
