Episode #71: Are you expecting too much?

In this session, we explore what it really means to “expect too much” in a relationship. Julie talks about how sometimes, without realizing it, we lean too heavily on our partner to manage emotions we haven’t yet learned to hold ourselves. This can show up as constant venting, needing endless reassurance, or expecting our partner to join us in unhealthy ways of coping.... like over controlling, avoiding, or shutting down.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in repeating patterns, unsure of where the line is between asking for support and over relying on your partner, this conversation will help you make sense of it.
