We look for safety and security at the beginning of our relationships⊠so why do we end up resenting these same things in our marriages? Letâs get curious about this 180° turnaround with a real-life example from one of my clients.
Vicki built her life around feeling secure, but then she started to feel restless and even oppressed by the predictability of her marriage. She started wondering -
âWhoâs to blame when we get what we want⊠but weâre unhappy? What happens when we feel buried by the stability of the lives weâve created? What if we feel utterly lost after the kids leave home⊠and weâre not sure where to put our energy and focus?â
In this episode, I answer these questions with an explanation of The Relationship Pyramid. Tune in for a deep dive into the purpose of safety, security, and predictability in our most intimate relationships.
