There’s no relationship where you won’t get irritated or annoyed, so it’s best to figure out how to deal with it. Today’s podcast shows you how to deal with irritation in a loving way that brings you closer with someone you’re dating, or in a relationship with.

If you’re not satisfied with your love or sex-life, and could use some insights into what makes a person want more of you, tell me more about yourself here and we’ll schedule a time to talk.

How to Be Less Irritated With Your Partner: Show Notes







It’s no secret that people can be irritating. 😅

I’m laughing because saying it that way is one of the fastest ways to push someone away.

The more conscious way to say this would be that we get irritated. Telling someone (or even thinking of it as) “YOU’RE IRRITATING ME,” makes others defensive, and doesn’t acknowledge the fact that someone else may have a totally different opinion. This makes it a subjective experience, rather than them being objectively irritating!

There’s no relationship in which you won’t get irritated, upset, hurt, or annoyed, so it’s important to learn how to navigate this with love. Poor communication can create painful resentment, or even break up a relationship, especially when it’s newer. And before you even talk about this, you have to be aware of the thoughts, feelings, and sensations you’re having, that come together as irritation.

It was such an honor to talk with today’s Practicing Love podcast guest, Dr. Susan Campbell. She is a therapist and the author of Getting Real, The Five Minute Relationship Repair, and many more books. She has been working in this field for 50 years and is a wealth of wisdom and love. Susan and I talked about what she does in her current relationship, where even though she’ s thrilled to be in it, she sometimes feels irritated. We also talked about …



* Releasing egocentric patterns in relationships

* How to navigate differences, and even get to unity

* The need / habit to be in control and the impatience people often feel with others

* What to do when two people trigger each other

* What makes it hard to ask for what you want, and how to practice

* How to make upsets lead to healing

* Creating safe space

* The powerful Five Minute Relationship Repair Process



If you’re someone who ever gets irritated (wink 😉), this is a great podcast to check out. You can also listen to more podcasts with Susan on the Man Alive podcast here:
