Episode 35: Fine, I’ll Just Do It Myself: The Danger of Weaponized Incompetence
20 januari 2022 · 1 uur 20 min
Has your partner ever done a task so poorly or asked you so many questions that you finally just said “fine, I’ll do it myself!”? This is called weaponized incompetence, and while your partner may not mean for it to be, it can be harmful in a relationship. In this episode we’re going to talk about how to identify weaponized incompetence, how it shows up in OUR relationship, and what to do if you or your partner are doing this. Lees meer

Episode 34: I Want You To Want Me
13 januari 2022 · 1 uur 2 min
We all want to feel desired, but so often in relationships we get into a place where it feels like one partner wants the other more. Lees meer
If you’re the higher desire partner, you’re probably feeling lonely and scared - scared that your partner might not be into you, and scared that you’ll get rejected if you initiate any kind of sex or intimacy. In fact, you may even be withholding affection for fear of being turned down!
If you’re the lower desire partner, you might be feeling ashamed, like there’s something wrong with you. You may even be tempted to start giving your partner half-hearted sex or intimacy in an attempt to appease them.
Unfortunately, none of these techniques end up being very successful, and in fact tend to only reinforce the feeling of imbalance.
In this week's podcast episode, we show you how to unravel these painful dynamics.

Whatever the case may be, we're excited to talk about the role desire can play in your relationship and how - yes - you can reignite that spark from the 'old days'.
