The Importance of Disappointment - S02E18
from Wake Up Your Relationship! · host Dawn Ramezany
In working with a number of couples that ultimately want to make one another happy, I have found a noticeable behavior that actually is quite negative, and something that erodes trust in the long run. This is a concept of not wanting to disappoint one's partner, and instead of telling the honest truth, they would rather tell a white lie to avoid disappointing them. In today's episode let's talk about the importance of actually facilitating disappointment instead of trying to sugarcoat things with a white lie. If you would like to learn more about me and my practice feel free to stop by my website, sunrisetherapies.org.
