Balancing Power in Adult Relationships
Balancing Power in Adult Relationships
If you feel like you have no power in a relationship, then the current state of the relationship is not healthy for you. How can you be healthy if your partner has most of the power?
Conflicts and power struggles are a normal part of any relationship. The question is, how do you strike a balance, and how do you settle conflicts without hurting one another and by working towards a win for both of you? You may think you are being the bigger and kinder person by walking away from a loud, angry, and sometimes mean partner. If this becomes a pattern, beware. They may respect you less for it, and treat you worse. You may start feeling powerless, depressed, and anxious yourself. If you are going to walk, maybe you should keep on walking, and get yourself some help.

I want to create healthy happy life
It can be hard to work with a mind that keeps going to the problems and worries. It's time to teach children their power over thoughts and feelings.
I would like teachable exercises for; replacing thoughts that are not helpful, reasonable, or true, creating joy and emotional resilience, Mindgarden metaphor illustrating power and choice in thoughts, Dream Book strategy for identifying clear goals and building motivation, a video explaining how NOT to let others or situations have the power to bring you down!
