Solving the problem is the problem.

Often times, we (especially men) prefer to solve our partner's problems instead of actually letting their feelings or pain into our awareness. This often leads to a "report talk" dynamic where intimacy is low and partners avoid leaning on each other. In this talk, Galit and I unpack why do we prefer to solve our partner's problems and how to stop that habit through examples from our marriage and the clinic. Practical tips will help you listen more and solve less in your relationships. Click here to join our mailing list and get free resources on enriching relationships every week to your inbox!
