When your partner is going through a stressful time - whether at work, with family, with too much to do, etc. - or a sad spell, or an episode of anxiety - it’s SO hard to watch them be in this sucky place and NOT know how to help.

We TRY to help: we offer solutions, we want to fix it for them, we try to distract them, but ultimately, we just hope that the next therapy appointment will make everything better.

You do NOT have to wait for that.

There’s a lot you can do, as the person who loves them and knows them best, to help them feel better and get through the difficult period.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why their stress and emotions are not a problem to be solved
• What DOES help, immediately and effectively, instead of analyzing emotions, root causes, and trying to fix things
• How you can empower your partner, help them remember their resources, and offer a bigger perspective
• How to be a great listener - without extra pressure on yourself

We all have difficult seasons, and when your love is going through such a time, you have a lot of power to help them ride it out smoothly while maintaining their wellbeing and mental health.

And it really doesn’t require much effort on your end at all.
