Alain De Botton: Radical Honesty Save Your Relationship?: Communication, Trust, and Emotional Safety

Exciting news - pre-order my debut book 👇😆✌🏼 https://linktr.ee/HealthySBTH?utm_sou... How can couples talk about hard feelings without hurting each other? This clip explores building a therapeutic atmosphere where jealousy, mixed feelings, and the need for space can be shared gently. Here, I’m discussing why self-understanding must come before communication, how “I feel” language respects two realities, and what an examined relationship means beyond formal therapy. We also consider going to bed on an argument, avoiding freeze-outs by returning to the table quickly, and setting WhatsApp rules to avoid aggravating anxious or avoidant attachment. *** This episode is sponsored by: NOWATCH: The compassionate health tracker Connecting body and mind with unique stress recovery insights so you can live fully today 15% off with code LWBW15 at https://nowatch.com/ Mojo: the app for expert-led courses in better sex.
