Yesterday, you learned how to identify an emotionally unavailable partner. If you are the emotionally unavailable partner, there’s many things you can do to change and improve your relationship.
⠀⠀
You can:
⠀⠀
1. Stop Separating Emotional and Physical Abuse
• Many people do not see emotional unavailability as abusive. Most people only see physical abuse as abusive.
• It does not matter if it is emotional, verbal, financial or physical, if it hurts your partner, it is something you need to take into serious consideration.
• Once you accept that emotional unavailability is abuse, you are more likely to change.
⠀⠀
2. Face Your Own Emotions
• An emotionally unavailable partner subconsciously believes emotions are unimportant. To become more available emotionally, he or she needs to see the value of emotions.
• You can learn to see the value of emotions by learning to feel and observe your own feelings. You can achieve this by starting therapy, practicing meditation and facing your pain when you’re triggered.
• The better you get at seeing the value of emotions, the more available you will be to the feelings, needs and boundaries of your partner.
⠀⠀
3. Learn To Communicate Your Feelings
• Communication is the key that unlocks a healthy relationship.
• If you are a poor communicator, you are more likely to have a poor relationship.
• You can learn to communicate by developing your social skills, starting therapy and getting more in touch with your feelings.
• The more you openly communicate with your partner, the more available you will feel to your partner.
⠀⠀
4. Learn Your Partner’s Needs
• Human beings are motivated by needs.
• When needs are met, the human body feels relaxed, happy and valued. However, when needs are unmet, the human body feels stressed, depressed and unworthy.
• Make time to sit down with your partner this week and become clear on what you need from each other. Then, hold each other accountable for meeting those needs and expectations.
