“The most functional way to regulate difficult emotions in love relationships is to share them.”

-Sue Johnson

Why is it that we think our partner can read our mind? 🤔 No matter how long we are together or how deeply we know each other, this isn’t a fair expectation. Instead we can open the “window to our brain” and share our core thoughts/feelings versus the surface anger/frustration that comes after we assume our partner is purposely ignoring the emotions they don’t even realize we are having.
