Mar 08, 2023•22 min•Season 1Ep. 54
Episode description
In this episode, we're talking all about the stages of a relationship - specifically, what happens when we transition from the honeymoon period of a relationship (fuelled by chemistry, romance and infatuation) to the power struggle (where all our flaws and wounds come to the fore).
We'll talk about:
- what each stage of a relationship looks like
- why the transition from honeymoon period to power struggle feels like a bait & switch
- how anxious-avoidant dynamics overlay onto this dynamic
- how you can make the most of the power struggle stage & use it to grow closer as a couple
