Listen "S2 E6: The vulnerable episode - relational tension "
Episode Synopsis
Tension and disconnection doesn't have to lead to full on storming and conflict. In this episode Kim and Ann take you along their journey where they have experienced discomfort and disconnect between each other. Some lessons learnt:
Own the swing - yes you are swinging.
Take responsibility for moving yourself out of swing - while you can look for all the confirmation why you should stay swinging, you will find more peace and resolution when you bring yourself back to ventral.
Create the space for others to name what is causing their swing - it is not your responsibility to name what is happening in someone else, but rather give the other person space to explore their sensations.
Trust the other person - right now you are feeling vulnerable and so it is natural to push others away to protect yourself, but you do not need to do this with the people you have chosen as your partners/colleagues... they are not out to hurt you.
Appreciate and make space to reconnect - you will have experienced disconnect during tension/conflict so it helps to honour that and to find your way of reconnecting
