Emotional Safety In Marriage
Be honest. How emotionally safe do you feel with your spouse or in your relationships, period? Do you feel safe to be your authentic self, to share your honest feelings, fears, hopes, desires, and the vulnerable parts of who you are? Emotional safety is foundational to learning and growth, and is developed early on in childhood. Unfortunately, not everyone is raised in an environment that fosters healthy emotional development.  As a result, it can spill over into your marriage and relationships as an adult.  Join Eric and Tacondra in this courageous conversation about emotional safety and discover what may be hindering your freedom to flourish in your own marriage and relationships.Support The Show:  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/EricandTacondraConnect With Us: https://www.bwtbrowns.comLaunch Your Own Podcast: https://bit.ly/3pOtW4yTacondra's Song "Safety In Your Love": https://youtu.be/a-FR62E4yy8 Support the show
