How To Stop Mirroring Your Spouse's Nega...

NATALIE BACON
About this episode

Have you ever had your spouse come home stressed and before you know it you're feeling stressed, too? This is mirroring, and it's what happens automatically because of mirror neurons. But just because it's automatic doesn't mean it's the only way. In fact, there's a much better way of approaching your spouse and your marriage when your partner is feeling less than his best. 

 

In this podcast, I dive into how you can navigate the tricky situation of your spouse being upset, without taking on his emotions, and while showing up as the wife you want to be (supportive, connected, etc.). 

 

You'll hear practical tips on how to not feel so triggered by your spouse's mood as well as the mindset shift that'll help you be the wife you genuinely want to be, no matter what's happening with your spouse. 

 

Tune in to learn how to stay grounded, avoid unnecessary conflict, and create a more positive, connected marriage.
