In this episode, Bryce explains what "gaslighting" is, how to spot it, and how to confront it in a partnership.  This communication style can be deeply damaging to the emotional safety in a relationship and most people don't even know that they are doing it.  At it's core, it is a way to distort someone's reality enough to assume psychological control over them.  If you've ever felt put down, belittled, or made to feel stupid, this may be the definition that you have been looking for.  If you are interested in taking your relational learning and practice a step further, you can visit Jenny and I at:www.brycebauer.com or www.jennymorrow.comWe specialize in individual/ couples relationship coaching and men's/ women's retreats.

In this episode, Bryce explains why we get upset over small things.  Reactions can wreak havoc on relationships when they are not understood properly.  It may be true that you're "just tired" or your partner isn't appreciating you but what's probably more true is you are protecting yourself by lashing out or shutting down.  Once you get to the core of your issue, you will naturally relax and you will be able to assist your partner in helping you instead of expecting them to know what to do.  Bryce also touches on how to find the right couples coach/therapist and why progress tends to be much slower without seeking any help.

Judgments usually stick because they are only looked at from one angle.  You judge people through the lens by which you judge yourself or through the story that fits your narrative of that person.  By looking at your partner as a mirror instead of a dead end, you can continue to grow and develop more parts of yourself that you are unable to see without their reflection.  Many different processes use this same concept that I've dubbed "The Mirror".  If you are holding onto any resentments or judgments of your partner, this is the perfect exercise for you to learn.

In this episode, we discuss the delicate balance of working with "thirds" while maintaining the security of a primary partnership.  "Thirds" can be defined as people or things outside of the relationship, such as kids, parents, in-laws, co-workers, social gatherings, religion, work, etc.  There is a fantasy that all of these outside relationships can be managed on the same plane but, this is simply not true.  There is always a hierarchy of attention we are forced to work with and we need to be on the same page with our partner in order to confront these situations skillfully.  Do you know where you and your relationship stands when it comes to interactions with "thirds"?
