What if the other person totally shuts down when tough questions come up. He might give a one or 2 word answer. Especially about the relationship itself.
Hi Janet, sounds super difficult. We have a masterclass on this topic that might be insightful? (https://relationshipschool.com/masterclass-2-emotionally-unavailable/) or you can work with a relationship coach to hone your approach (ie. sharing impact statements, or using “I” language that can help someone who shuts down stay in the room with you and not trigger defenses quite so quickly). check out https://relationshipschool.com/myrelationshipcoach/ to get paired with the right coach if that works best. hope this is helpful and thanks for listening =)
Loved this podcast… it’s so true, it’s my fear of hearing the answer or triggering his defenses, which is always to pull back. I need to move beyond my fears and be authentic.
Thank you for what you do!
Thanks for sharing Anna, means a lot =)
