The Importance of Not Transferring the Parental Role to Your Partner

Something I see fairly often when talking with people is a transfer of the parental role to their partner. While this is most common in romantic relationships, it can also occur in friendships and boss-employee relationships as well. No matter where this is happening, it tends to be somewhat hidden, and it can negatively impact the entire dynamic of your relationship.

 

In today’s episode, I’m covering:

-My own story of getting married young, and how I transferred the parental role to my then partner

-How to recognize when this is happening in your relationship, and how to go about making a positive change 

-Learning the importance of having difficult (but very necessary) conversations with your partner, so you can build a stronger and united relationship

 

Changing your behavior and taking certain actions will take time-this won’t all happen overnight. I don’t want you to blame your partner, friend, boss, etc., or feel like you need to tear them down, because this is not a hierarchy. When you’re tapping into your higher power and empowering yourself, you’ll be able to show up with more compassion, power, and love for your partner, and your relationship.
