A podcast that encourages curiosity about relationships and the ways in which connection between partners can get blocked. Seeking to change the perception about blocks as hindering connection and, instead, seeing them as opportunities to increase connection.
In this episode, Carolyn and Chris take on another listener requested topic and discuss accepting criticism without taking it personally. They try to show a deeper understanding of what Criticism is and where it comes from and how can we engage with it from our partners in a way that tries to understand as opposed to responding with defensiveness.
