Struggling to support your partner in tough times, here’s how...

Have you ever had a partner in a rough place, or maybe you’ve felt like you’re butting heads… 

Here are 3 quick tips I love sharing with my clients…

1| Validation

Instead of trying to fix & give solutions, validate then ask -

'This must be tough for you, what do you need from me/how can I help you right now?'

2| Ask them what THEY want…

Do you want me to listen or give you a solution? (We are often too quick to try and fix/solve, when the person often knows what to do, they just need an ear.

3| Ask permission

Ask permission to chat about certain topics: ‘Hey I want to chat about X, when’s a good time’

This is a really important point when someone has had a big day & the other partner just starts downloading on them, when maybe their capacity to focus/function is low.
