#56 - "Are We Too Different?"

Sarah Yudkin
About this episode

Have you ever wondered if you and your partner are too different? Too many personality clashes? “How will this ever work?”

 

In today’s episode I explore why personality differences can feel so threatening and challenging, some reframes about personality differences to help you see them in a new light, and give strategies to navigate personality differences with more acceptance. 

 

In the episode I mention my “is it anxiety or incompatibility?” webinar, which you can get here: https://www.youloveandyoulearn.com/ra-or-incompatibility-webinar
