Ep.73/ Healthy vs. Unhealthy Compromise With Imani Tutt
LISTEN HERE
There’s a lot of talk about compromising these days in relationships. And much of it isn’t necessarily favorable.
Pop psychology in today’s culture prizes and celebrates individualism. Despite the many benefits that come with autonomy, it doesn’t always translate well into relationships when we don’t balance it with reciprocity and compromise.
Relationships naturally require us to adapt our lives to those of our partner. This can feel quite scary to many of us, especially to those of us who have experienced enmeshment, co-dependency, or even hyper-independency. Different forms of attachment trauma can significantly impact our belief systems around love and relationships.
However, there's a significant difference between compromise and self-neglect. This is the exact topic I wanted to explore further with Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Intuitive Coach Imani Tutt.
In this week's podcast episode, we talk about…
-What relationship compromise means?
-Why compromising in relationships is natural and inevitable.
-The difference between healthy compromise vs. unhealthy compromise.
-Why compromising has become so frowned upon in today's culture.
-When compromising becomes self-neglect.
-How to ensure you are taking care of yourself within a relationship to prevent resentment.
