Master Your Relationship Mind Drama

159. Dealing with dismissive, defensive or emotionally immature partners

Season 1 Episode 159

You’re all listening to this podcast because you’re perhaps aware your anxious mind is causing a lot, or some, problems and you want to take back control of your side of the equation.

But what happens if you’re doing all of that work - and your partner is continuously responding in ways that seem unsupportive, unkind, or pretty mean?

Maybe being dismissive of your feelings, getting defensive - even after you’ve worked really hard to approach them calmly, or perhaps even being quite harsh or unkind about what you’re struggling with.

In this episode I’m talking about:

  • Dealing with dismissive and emotionally immature partners
  • Setting boundaries 
  • Validating yourself when they won’t
  • And deciding if they’re the best partner for you
