Ep. 61 - Power Struggles in Relationships - How to Shift the Dynamic
In times of frustration or annoyance with those around us, it's often because our values are being questioned and our boundaries are pushed. When we don't know how to hold our boundaries without creating significant rifts or drama, we feel frustration or annoyance. Power dynamics shift when you undergo personal growth and development because the relationships surrounding you right now meet certain needs you have, for both you and them. As you start to grow, your needs start to shift and that can often destabilise relationships you have.
That's not necessarily something to fear, but it is something to manage and understand. When within a relationship the power pendulum doesn’t swing evenly between the two parties, it can be draining, un-motivating and disempowering.
