9 | Dr. Sarah Schewitz – The Four Horsemen of the Relationship Apocalypse

Are you communicating in the best possible ways in your romantic relationship? Relationships have the potential to make us happy, but they also have the power to bring out the worst in us. One reason is that we might still be trying to heal our childhood wounds through our relationship, but it might also be because we simply don’t know how to communicate. In this episode we explore how to assess for communication pitfalls in our romantic relationships, as well as how to heal those divides in order to get back to our most loving essence. Our interview with Dr. Sarah Schewitz teaches us: 1) How to recognize if we are participating in any of the Gottmans’ Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, 2) How to take action on any of those Horsemen so that we can be communicating from a more loving place, and 3) Daily practices that can get us back into our loving with our partners.
