- On today’s episode, Steph and Craig discuss this seemingly simple and yet powerful question, 'Can't it be both?'
The question stems from Craig's own experience in therapy, and throughout the episode they explore the idea that both people can be right at the same time, and how holding multiple truths can be difficult but necessary for growth.
They also discuss the influence of childhood programming and why it’s important to know your partner's past and their stories so you can have compassion and understanding for what triggers them.
Steph and Craig also highlight the significance of curiosity for what your partner may be experiencing in the present moment, as well as celebrating the moments when you find yourselves agreeing to disagree.
Tune in for an episode filled with vulnerability, personal insights, and practical strategies for fostering growth and transformation in your own relationships.
