We all have triggers.

Our partners all have triggers.

And they are not always the same things.

Building a relationship that brings an understanding of each other’s triggers, strengths and differences is complicated.

When we bring compassion, understanding, kindness and accountability into our relationships, our love and connection blossoms.

In this replay episode, Michaela Thomas, clinical psychologist, couples therapist and founder of the private psychology practice The Thomas Connection, and I discuss building compassion for healthy and strong relationships.

In this episode, we discuss:

The Fire Triangle of Relationships [7:23]
The 3 Parts of Compassion [22:59]
Motherhood & Compassion [29:12]
Defining Compassion & Mindfulness [33:13]
What you can do in your relationship to start using compassion [46:07]
