Many of us suffer in relationships because we find ourselves in conversations and situations where we don’t know how to proactively respond or act well. The hosts explore aspects of dealing with uncomfortable or painful situations of life so that one can minimize patterns of suffering. Beginning with patterns of criticism in relationships that feel harsh, to being told what to do by others when you aren't looking for that kind of advice, we lessen suffering when we able to respond in an empowered, direct and kind way. All of this means growing your comfort zone, pushing beyond what has been comfortable in your habits and relationships and into a new norm with less emotional pain. Journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration.
