20. Loneliness in Relationships

Listen on

Episode notes

In this episode, Kim Andryc and Lora Solomon discuss:

• How shame is the culprit for feeling unimportant in relationships
• Breaking up every time you feel lonely is not sustainable
• Healthy relationships involve both parties taking full responsibility for their feelings
• Dealing with loneliness in relationships

 

Key Takeaways:

• No one can always be a priority.
• Don't leave the relationship right away; it's just a matter of recognizing and communicating our feelings, as well as getting to the root of the problem, in order to feel that closeness again.
• Feeling mad or angry is natural, so give yourself grace and permission to feel it. The only way to get rid of this emotion is to feel it and let it pass through us.
• Stop expecting one person to meet all of your needs. The best way to avoid disappointment is to not expect anything from anyone.

 

"A healthy relationship is people owning their feelings. And what's really beautiful is when it's worked through us both and we can come together…and excavate some of that hurt." — Kim Andryc
