This is just so good!!
From Dr Dr Orna Guralnik, clinical psychologist and also the Couples Therapy star from the programme “Couples Therapy” on BBC Iplayer
Dr Orna gives us some really great questions to ask ourselves that could help deepen and bring more fulfilling relationships with our partners.
This is from The Observer Paper 5th January 2025:
- What do I know would be great for my relationship but is very hard for me to commit to? Why is it hard?
- What outing will require the most “sacrifice” from me and be the most enjoyable to my partner?
- When do I feel the most benevolent, able to care and give freely to my loved one/s?
- When have I felt the least able to give, and what have I been most concerned about?
- What difficulties does my partner need most compassion for?
- What do I wish to be forgiven for?
- Where am I most stubborn in our relationship? What is it I’m trying to protect?
- What am I craving most from my partner? Can they satisfy that need?
- What do I wish my partner saw in me? What does my partner most wish for me to recognise in them?
- What am I trying to change in my partner? Can I imagine letting that project go?
