76: Is Your Anxiety Sabotaging Your Relationships?

Have you ever felt insecure about something that\\u2019s happened with your partner and got yourself worked up in your mind?

I have. Many times.

And when this has happened to me I know I\\u2019ve not brought up the issue in a productive way.

In fact, I\\u2019ve often approached the subject in a way I later regretted. What about you? Have you said something you wish you hadn\\u2019t? Reacted in a way you wish you could take back?

It\\u2019s a horrible feeling when we \\u201csober up\\u201d emotionally, the cloud of angry or upset subsides, and we are left with this sinking feeling that somehow we\\u2019ve just messed it all up.

If you can relate to being the kind of person whose emotions and anxieties can be easily triggered in a relationship, this episode is really going to help you. My aim with this video is not to guarantee you never get anxious again (would you even believe me if I said that was possible?!).

My aim is to ensure that even in those moments where your fears and anxieties become inflamed, you have a way of calming them, and approaching your partner in a way that brings you closer together, rather than hurting the relationship. Let\\u2019s take back control over those emotions and put you back in the driver\\u2019s seat.

And let\\u2019s learn to use our moments of friction to make our relationships even more beautiful.
