Join me for this episode where I further explore the concept of Unbearable Feelings, looking at how Unbearable Feelings influence our relationships.    Our Unbearable Feeling is usually a key culprit behind the pain and difficulty we experience in our relationships. And, in most relationships there are at least two Unbearable Feelings. This can create what we refer to as a 'cross matching', where we simultaneously push each other's buttons!    I hope you enjoy this episode, and that it encourages your reflection on how Unbearable Feelings are playing out in your relationship, and how you can find a way through.    This episode is proudly brought to you be Millo luxury foam loungers.
