Lyn is with Bernadette Bruckner, Intuitive Expert in Holistic Health, Author and International Speaker. They are discussing the impact on relationships in these unprecedented times where, due to the 2020 global pandemic, people are following the social distancing and isolation rules and spending intense periods of time in lockdown together. This can be both a period to reflect and a time to understand more about yourself and your relationship. Bernadette and Lyn offer some great advice on how you can discover more deeply what is and isn't working and why in this episode. Listening in will help you to understand more about relationships, the importance of open communication and self-love.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Sometimes we need to get back to basics in our relationships – communicating and being open with each other. Recall the reasons you came together and the feelings you had back then. If the reasons are no longer valid, then the relationship may have ran it's course and you may need to consider whether to finish it so that you can both be free to find a person who will be a better match. Women tend to be more forgiving. It starts with forgiving and giving to yourself, fill up your own self-love cup first, so that you then have more than enough to give to others. It’s naturally in women to be the nuturer and carer for everyone else. This can be challenging when you are caring for others in difficult times. When individuals can’t express their negative emotions in words, situations can become very stressful and this may lead to a physical response. When people end up in abusive relationships it's because they often don’t understand the need to value themselves and have boundaries in place, we treat people how to treat us.  We must find the time to nuture and care about ourselves, consider what's acceptable and what's not and then say 'no' to what's not.
