It's clear that many conflicts boil down to a fundamental need for safety.
This was a critical lesson from a personal journey- never quite feeling safe to fully express and be met when conflict hit.
Despite the highs, the travel, workshops, and outward successes, the low moments revealed a lack of safety that we eventually couldn’t ignore.
It's easy in relationships to fall into a pattern of 'you first,' expecting our partners to make the first move towards healing and connection.
During those challenging years, both my partner and I desperately wanted the other to “go first” in creating what we both needed- but neither of us were resourced enough to do so.
When conflicts arose, they underscored this lack of a safe space, fueling a cycle of survival instincts like hypervigilance, which only added to the tension.
It wasn't until we both committed to understanding and addressing each other's needs for safety that we began to truly heal and transform our relationship.
By prioritizing each other's emotional safety, you pave the way for more genuine connection and resilience against life's inevitable challenges.
