The first step to learning how to be more vulnerable in a relationship involves exploring your inner world.
After allowing time to check in with yourself, labeling your emotions, and discovering everyday anxiety triggers, start expressing your needs.
Unfortunately, vulnerability comes with a risk. You might get hurt. That’s why many are afraid to express their needs and emotions.
The act of being vulnerable with yourself and within a relationship may stir up some painful memories or discomfort.
Relationships take two to tango. So, for the relationship to grow, both parties need to acknowledge their mistakes.
Mindfulness is the gift that keeps giving. It allows us to show up presently, exuding more compassion and awareness to understand our emotions and the emotions of others.
Your fear of getting hurt, people-pleasing, and abandonment stems from your childhood trauma and resulting attachment patterns.
You’d be surprised, but penciling time within your busy weeks to talk openly and honestly is key to effective relationships.
