Part of the growth edge is to say: okay, I'm not always going to succeed, I'm going to fail, I'm going to fall, and then, instead of beating yourself up, you are able to say: okay, I've learned from this, I can go on, and you do that with your spouse, you do that with your children, and part of that is, they'll see that in you and they'll want to emulate that self-care.
Ever thought about whether selflessness truly exists in marriage? Chris Gazdik, with nearly three decades of therapy experience, dives into this intriguing question in Episode 214 of 'Through a Therapist's Eyes'. A client's question about giving and receiving in relationships made Chris reconsider his views, both professionally and personally. In this episode, he examines how selflessness plays out in marriage and parenting, and how our attempts to be helpful can sometimes disguise selfish motives.
He also explores the various stages of marriage and how they evolve with children in the mix. Communication and self-care are highlighted as essential tools for maintaining healthy relationships. Chris emphasizes that part of personal growth involves accepting failures, learning from them, and moving forward together with your spouse and children. If you're curious about the balance between selflessness and selfishness in relationships, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
