It's Not You, It's Me

Fighting for Connection - Creating a Secure Marriage

Mar 25 2024 • 11 mins

Embarking on an exploration of our emotional worlds, I, Brett Nikula, invite you to peer into the depths of the inner child and its profound influence on our relationships. In this episode I dissect the powerful yearnings for acceptance and security that weave through our connections with others. This episode is a candid revelation of how, when these fundamental desires go unfulfilled, our partnerships often bear the brunt, leading to conflicts that are, in essence, desperate pleas from our inner selves.

As we traverse the intricate terrain of partnership dynamics, I emphasize the transformative potential of self-awareness and clear communication. By adopting the ethos of "It's not you, it's me," we learn to convey our inner fears and vulnerabilities without casting blame, setting the stage for transparency and growth within our relationships. This episode doesn't just promise insight—it offers a pathway to building more secure and resilient unions. Join me as we uncover the strategies that empower us to become better individuals for ourselves and, ultimately, better partners in our relationships.
