#114: Making It Work With A Dismissive Avoidant Man

When you start doing the work and finally see your patterns, it’s so easy to look back and go, “What the hell was wrong with me?”. Especially when it comes to self-abandonment & over-functioning: The YES we didn't mean, the relationship you stayed in for too long, the needs you swallowed.In this episode, I’m talking about one of the biggest obstacles I see in this work: struggling to forgive the version of you who didn’t know better yet. We cover why self-judgement keeps you stuck, why it’s often a buffer against shame and grief, what it does to your nervous system, and how to start meeting your past self (and your inner critic) with compassion instead.💛 ⁠Come to relationship school with me in RESOURCED WOMAN - Get on the waitlist & snatch a discount!⁠✨ ⁠⁠Want personalised support?

You finally set the boundary! You pushed through the guilt, the fear and the self-doubt. And then they just walked right over it. In this episode, I’m talking about how to get your power back in that moment. We cover why setting boundaries feels so dangerous for so many of us as women, why guilt often means you’re doing it right, why a boundary is information about you and not control over them, the grief of not being met, and what to actually do next when someone keeps crossing the line!💛Join the waitlist for Resourced Woman, my 12-week program where we work on exactly these patterns right HERE 💛✨ ⁠⁠Want personalised support?

If you go from zero to volcano in conflict, and then drown in shame afterwards, this one’s for you. I’m sharing my own story of going boom in my relationship, why years of self-abandonment so often end in explosion, how anger becomes armour around something more tender, why our partners can’t be the ones to hold our uncontained anger, and practical ways to build the space between feeling anger and acting it out.💛 ⁠Come to relationship school with me in RESOURCED WOMAN - Get on the waitlist & snatch a discount!⁠✨ ⁠⁠Want personalised support?
