How to Keep Familiarity from Breeding Contempt in Your Relationship
Manage episode 454856704 series 3623069
The author, Jon Rasmussen, argues that contempt is a destructive force in relationships, arising from familiarity and causing a downward spiral of negativity. He suggests that contempt stems from our own internal struggles, such as suppressed negative emotions, and that we can combat it by cultivating gratitude and appreciation for our partners. Rasmussen advocates for self-reflection and shadow work to identify and heal our own emotional wounds, ultimately restoring our ability to experience love and connection in a healthy way.
