We try to manage many areas of life to increase our experience of stability, such as health, finances, where and how we live, and our relationships. But there is still so much we can’t be sure of as our lives still have an instability and fragility that can quickly undermine the illusion of a stable future.</p><p>This fear of the future in relationships is heightened by the fact that we also can’t control other human beings. We certainly can’t control our partner, even though many try.</p><p>As a couple, we may point our compass in a similar direction, however we can never be sure that both partners remain on that journey into the future. We simply can’t foresee the future for our relationships, and this can create fear for the future embedding an element of risk in relationships. For example, a partner may:</p>		\n			<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/plugins/elementor/assets/css/widget-icon-list.min.css\">		<ul>\n							<li>\n										Decide they want to move overseas\n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Join the army reserves\n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Have an emotional and/or sexual affair \n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Want an open relationship\n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Decide they really want children after all or don’t want children after all\n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Have a sudden medical condition\n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Develop beyond their partner and feel unsatisfied in the relationship\n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Leave the relationship\n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Die – suicide, accident, or physical illness\n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Lose a job or walk away from one\n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Develop chronic depression\n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Struggle to recover from a bereavement\n									</li>\n						</ul>\n			<style>/*! elementor - v3.10.2 - 29-01-2023 */\n.elementor-column .elementor-spacer-inner{height:var(--spacer-size)}.e-con{--container-widget-width:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer{width:var(--container-widget-width,var(--spacer-size));--align-self:var(--container-widget-align-self,initial);--flex-shrink:0}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container,.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer{height:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer>.elementor-spacer-inner,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer>.elementor-spacer-inner{height:var(--container-widget-height,var(--spacer-size))}</style>		\n		<p>And if any of these factors occur, then partners need to deal with it. We can’t focus on warding off every possibility in life. Two of my best suggestions are:</p>		\n					<ul>\n							<li>\n										Look into mindfulness as it promotes working with reality (not self-created stories) and keeps you in the present.\n									</li>\n								<li>\n										See if the areas you worry about can be avoided, for example if it’s health issues then work on making some lifestyle changes. If there are mental health struggles, then get some help from a registered therapist. \n									</li>\n						</ul>\n															<img width=\"59\" height=\"59\" src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/2-prxajyhczkhsht03tu0623eeuw48qi08fhbu0156r8.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" />															\n			<h3>Fear of something in the current relationship that is projected onto the future</h3>		\n		<p>I wonder if a fear of relationships in the future is actually a fear or concern being registered in the current couple experience that is being projected onto the future. Will the future work out with my partner if I feel anxious or sad about something now. For example:</p>		\n					<ul>\n							<li>\n										Do I trust my partner when we are not together?\n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Does my partner blame or criticise me too much?\n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Does my partner try to control me? \n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Is my partner too flirty with my friends?

When he returns home from work, Jeremy always does chores for 2 or 3 hours. He feels that Min doesn’t see the vast array of tasks that they need to do to keep the household running smoothly.</p><p>He feels overwhelmed and can’t understand why Min never seems bothered by this. He can’t believe she can live with so much mess and chaos. It does his head in, and he becomes most critical when Min sits on the sofa flicking through her phone when the kids are in bed.</p><p>He tells himself that it’s like having a third child. Sometimes he’s surprised by his anger, and he’s concerned how much it is seeping into other areas of their relationship.</p><p>I’ve seen a gazillion couples where a partner complains, comments, and often becomes critical when their partner doesn’t live up to their expectations. They’re often shocked by their partner’s inability to tidy, clean, or parent in a way that seems ‘obvious’ to them. They end up exasperated and frustrated with them.</p><p>The problem is that it doesn’t stop with exasperation and frustration. Overtime, they start to see their partner as a child who can’t operate properly in the adult world. When partners view their partner this way, they often start to treat them as a child in other areas, not trusting their adult capacities.</p><p>This is extremely unattractive and unpleasant for both partners. These relationships typically become highly conflictual as no partner wants to continuously be sent to the doghouse. They’ll often ark up when criticised or corrected or experience their partner’s attempts to control them. This may take the form of becoming verbally defensive, justifying behaviours, being secretive, or retreating into a world of their own where their partner can’t reach them – into themselves.</p><p>We all experience the world differently as we have different minds, and this plays out in our day to day lives at home within our relationships. Couples with parent-child dynamics, like Jeremy and Min, have difficulty navigating the massive gap between their expectations and priorities.  </p><p>For example, Min has spent all day attending to the needs of the kids. She’s fed them in a timely manner, attended to their nappies and scrapes, she’s played music and dress ups. She’s read them books and attended to their tears. She understands Jeremy wants a more organised home, but her priority is to have healthy happy children.</p><p>Min focuses on them solely until they go to bed, by which time she is completely spent and needs some downtime to just be quiet and in her own mind. She knows she’s doing a pretty good job. She feels she’s earned some time to put her feet up and have some time to herself.</p><p>As you can see, from their own perspectives, they’re both right. The house needs more attention and Min deserves to put her feet up. But Min and Jeremy need to be careful, because remaining in self-righteous positions whilst not finding a solution will only entrench negative mindsets about each other.</p><p>Jeremy will repeatedly try to push Min into the doghouse telling himself, and her, that she is self-centred and only cares about the kids. She will entrench her version elaborating how controlling, aggressive, and horrible Jeremy is. Where their narratives go, the behaviour will follow.</p><p>What they need is a way of moving this situation from either/or - Jeremy’s way or Min’s way – They need to find a new position where both positions are kept in mind. This is an ‘and position’ so they don’t cancel each other out.</p><p>They may decide to get some outside assistance with the household or with the children. Jeremy may come home earlier from work one day a week to relieve Min so she can organise things with more energy.</p><p>Couples need to keep an ‘and position’ and keep binary positions (like either/or) at bay.</p><p>A co-parenting relationship is one where parents think together about the child’s wellbeing and make joint decisions that support the child’s emotional, physical, and practical needs. A co-parenting relationship is not about your ex-partner – it’s about putting your child’s best interests first and loving them above your own hurt, sadness or resentment. A co-parenting relationship is one of the most important ingredients for children to flourish and develop well post separation.  </p>','How to navigate fear of the future in relationships?','','inherit','closed','closed','','5694-revision-v1','','','2023-02-09 06:32:54','2023-02-09 06:32:54','',5694,'https://www.lissyabrahams.com/?p=5696',0,'revision','',0),(5697,3,'2023-02-09 06:54:49','2023-02-09 06:54:49','<p>In a recent podcast interview that had a Q&amp;A, I was asked how to navigate fear of the future in relationships.

It will help you gain new insights into yourself and how you relate to your partner, focusing on thoughts and behaviours which can present challenges. Learning to communicate with your partner caringly, respectfully, and skilfully is essential for a happy relationship.</p>		\n                DESCRIPTION            \n                    <h3>Would you like to…</h3><p><br />Increase respect in your relationship <strong>without</strong> having to fight for it?<br />Feel deeper levels of love and connectedness <strong>without</strong> having to be in the ‘honeymoon’ phase?<br />Experience increased sexual connectedness <strong>without </strong>rejection?<br />Increase happiness and have a peaceful home <strong>without</strong> being triggered by your partner?</p><p>Committed relationships are difficult. For many of us, our communication difficulties can lead to upsetting conflict. Over time, this hurts the relationship as partners often lose trust in each other and decrease their desire for emotional closeness and sexual connection. Prolonged, unresolved conflict and repeated cycles of blame can even result in the relationship ending.</p><p>This course has been created to ensure that your relationship can not only survive but thrive. It will help you to understand your own relationship and develop the skills needed to improve communication so that you and your partner become happier and more connected.</p><p>You will understand why couples really fight by leading expert Lissy Abrahams. You will be guided through strategies for ending the conflict using video content alongside a comprehensive workbook.</p><p>You can work through this course either individually or with your partner.

And then you both convince yourselves that it\'s fixed and do it all over again a few months later??\r\n\r\nSigh.\r\n\r\nThat, friend, is what experts call a relationship \'blind spot\'.\r\n\r\nBasically, when you\'re both just not *getting* each other.\r\n\r\nWe can suddenly get defensive, emotional, needy or just avoid the situation completely - all coping mechanisms we use to protect ourselves.\r\n\r\nAccording to couples counsellor <em>Lissy Abrahams</em>, the causes of these blind spots and the ensuing coping mechanisms, go all the way back to your childhood.\r\n\r\n\"We were all shaped by our environment growing up more than we all know,\" explains Abrahams. \"It’s like there is a program from which we automatically run much of our lives and our relationships.\"\r\n\r\n\"What’s critical here, is that we cannot easily access the information for what shaped us, as it’s held unconsciously in our mind. For many of us, the information was encoded when young, before we even had words.\"\r\n\r\nMeaning? You and your partner have been shaped differently and basically run off different programs.\r\n\r\nEnter: Conflict.\r\n\r\n\"As these are unconscious, both partners will have blind spots about how they’ve individually been programmed to relate.\'\r\n\r\nThe worst part about it? \"Partners often have no idea of the extent to which their blind spots impact their own relationship.\"\r\n\r\nThe thing is, though - we all have these blind spots. Every couple. And understanding them can help improve your relationship.\r\n\r\nThat\'s why we\'re going to tell you exactly what to look for, along with what to do about it.\r\n\r\nGot that notepad ready?\r\n\r\n<style>/*! elementor - v3.11.0 - 13-02-2023 */<br />.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}</style>\r\n<h3>What are the most common blind spots?</h3>\r\nThe first thing you need to do? Identify said blind spots - because they can be difficult to notice. Especially because they\'re so ingrained into our own personality; they\'re essentially part of what makes you, \'you\'.\r\n\r\nAnd while we\'d all like to think our personalities and behaviour patterns are just fine, taking time to assess how certain things impact your relationship is only going to help your relationship in the long run.\r\n\r\nSo, what are the most common kind of blind spots?\r\n\r\nAccording to Abrahams, there are four key ones to look out for:\r\n\r\n<style>/*! elementor - v3.11.0 - 13-02-2023 */<br />.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}</style>\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/1.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/1.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/1-prxajyhczkhsht03tu0623eeuw48qi08fhbu0156r8.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Relational templates</h4>\r\n\"One of the greatest blind spots is that we don’t really understand how we have been programmed for relationships,\" said Abrahams.\r\n\r\n\"When we were children, we absorbed so much information, the happy and connected times, and the frightening or lonely times. Imagine that these experiences are encoded into a program (called a relational template) – that we run our relationships from throughout life.\"\r\n\r\nRelational templates are the foundation that hold our \"expectations, beliefs, opinions, and rules for how we should or shouldn’t behave and be treated in a relationship,\" said Abrahams.\r\n\r\nIt\'s important to note that no two relationship templates are the same - we\'re all unique and \"made up of thousands and thousands of interactions with parents or caregivers.\"\r\n\r\n\"Our partner will have different templates which means there will always be a gap between theirs and ours.\"\r\n\r\n\"How partners navigate this gap is the difference between a safe and happy enough relationship and one that struggles.\"\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/2-prxajyhczkhsht03tu0623eeuw48qi08fhbu0156r8.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Our threshold for distress tolerance</h4>\r\nHow you cope with this gap is key.\r\n\r\n\"It’s a massive blind spot for us if we can’t cope with or tolerate our anxious, overwhelmed or upset feelings that arise when faced with the gap between our relational template and our partner’s.\"\r\n\r\n\"At these times, we’ve hit our threshold and have distress intolerance. If partners can’t tolerate each other’s different relationship expectations, beliefs, opinions, and rules then they will definitely be triggered as this will feel unsafe.\"\r\n\r\nAbrahams goes on to say that partners will feel distressed, sad, lonely and overwhelmed if they experience their partner as:\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Speaking to them in a way they disapprove of.</li>\r\n 	<li>Not celebrating their birthday with sufficient thought.</li>\r\n 	<li>Not listening attentively or adequately.</li>\r\n 	<li>Not supporting them sufficiently.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/3.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/3.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/3-prxajzf76ej2teyqocesml5vg9zly73yrlzbhb3sl0.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Our triggers</h4>\r\nAnother blind spot? When we don’t know what really triggers us and why, shares Abrahams.\r\n\r\nThis constitutes any behaviour that might cause us to recall a traumatic or distressing emotional experience from the past, \"usually without any awareness of the original event\".\r\n\r\nAbrahams goes on to explain that we can be triggered by our partner who might not be able to identify these emotions as having originated in the past. \"They feel very present,\" she adds.\r\n\r\n\"When triggered by our partner’s words or actions, we can suddenly feel distressed or overwhelmed just like we did when we were a vulnerable child. These past experiences are still inside us, causing the experience with our partner to feel frightening, so we react using our survival response of fight-or-flight.\"\r\n\r\nInteresting, right?\r\n\r\n\"What triggers us with our partner will be linked to the information unconsciously held in our relational templates. If it wasn’t encoded in the template, we wouldn’t care so much.\"\r\n\r\nFor example, \"If we feel our partner is disapproving of us, it would feel devastating because disapproval or, even worse, rejection, is in our template. We will typically react in fight-or-flight mode to this.\"\r\n\r\nOr, \"If we experience our partner as criticising, we will likely be triggered as being criticised as a child felt terrible and now feels overwhelming with our partner.\"\r\n\r\nOut of all the blind spots, this is one of the most major.\r\n\r\nAbrahams essentially explains it as time travelling - where we get confused about what constitutes as feelings of the past and what is present.\r\n\r\n\"Just because our partner’s words or actions feel the same inside us as past events, doesn’t mean it is the same now.\"\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/4.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/4.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/4-prxajzf76ej2teyqocesml5vg9zly73yrlzbhb3sl0.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Our defence mechanisms</h4>\r\nWhen we get into an argument with our partner, we have mechanisms to protect ourselves - it could be denial, defensiveness, or just completely shutting down.\r\n\r\n\"Whenever we have gone into fight-or-flight due to our partner’s words or actions, we can unconsciously use ego defence mechanisms. These are a form of fight-or-flight (avoidance) and are a major blind spot in couple relationships, especially as they too are unconscious.\"\r\n\r\nSome common ego defence mechanisms are:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Denial - \"Our mind blocks whatever we can’t accept at that moment to protect us from the emotional impact. This could be from the devastating news of a death, serious illness, or of a cheating spouse.\"</li>\r\n 	<li>Projection - \"We unconsciously disown parts of ourselves that we don’t like and ‘see’ them in others. For example, we may feel insecure about our career with a particular colleague. Instead of tolerating our insecurity, we look for negative qualities in them to make us feel better.\"</li>\r\n 	<li>Regression - \"We revert to the behaviours or emotions of an earlier developmental age as we can’t tolerate the feelings inside us. With our partner, we may scream, cry, become petulant, sulk, complain, use a baby voice, or refuse to speak.\"</li>\r\n 	<li>Intellectualisation - \"Making external excuses or justifications are also ways to avoid the emotional experience that is occurring.\"</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>How should you deal with relationship blind spots?</h3>\r\nAs we touched on before, the first and most important step is to assess your blind spots and take full responsibility for them.\r\n\r\n\"It’s not your partner’s fault how your relational template was shaped when you were young. They were not there.\"\r\n\r\nThere are three ways to tackle this head-on.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/1.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/1.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/1-prxajyhczkhsht03tu0623eeuw48qi08fhbu0156r8.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Therapy</h4>\r\nGoing for therapy and seeing a professional will help you \"join the present with the past,\" said Abrahams. \"We have all been shaped differently and have our own unique relational templates.\"\r\n\r\nAbrahams goes on to say that talking with a professional can help you understand \"how your relational templates from childhood still operate inside you today. Are you clingy? Mistrusting? Secretive? Why?\"\r\n\r\nShe said it can also help clarify how and why you react to your partner as you do. \"What are your triggers and what ego defence mechanisms do you use?\"\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/2-prxajyhczkhsht03tu0623eeuw48qi08fhbu0156r8.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Resources</h4>\r\n\"Some online courses, podcasts and books can also help you identify triggers and ego defence mechanisms.\"\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/3.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/3.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/3-prxajzf76ej2teyqocesml5vg9zly73yrlzbhb3sl0.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Calming the nervous system</h4>\r\n\"Repeatedly going into fight-or-flight mode can make your nervous system jumpy.

In that moment, we’re triggered into fight- or-flight and our mind and body react to our partner as if they were a hungry bear chasing us.\r\n\r\nThe threat feels very real, and we react accordingly. We fight or run for our lives. The tragedy is that couples can do this for years, or even decades.\r\n\r\nRemember, it typically takes around six years of conflict before a couple will contact a therapist for help. Conflict is incredibly distressing for both partners. It’s easy to see the distress on the fighters: they shout, blame, degrade, regress, make their bodies bigger or voices louder in anger.\r\n\r\nThose who flee the conflict are also extremely distressed, even if they don’t look it. Remember, they have the same cascading survival reaction that compels them to run away as the fighters have to attack. Both experience a surge in their adrenaline and cortisol levels, and their heart rate and blood pressure increase.\r\n\r\nProlonged couple conflict causes suffering for both partners. It’s gruelling, both physically and mentally, and it takes time and energy to recover from each exhausting episode. Very few of us bounce back after a fight without any lingering impact.\r\n\r\nThe residue of conflict impacts our <a href=\"https://www.mamamia.com.au/signs-of-a-healthy-relationship/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">relationship</a> and creates the perfect climate for the ego to tell elaborate stories of our partner’s inadequacy. It’s vastly different from the way we saw each other at the start of the relationship.\r\n\r\nI see many couples where both partners feel vulnerable and powerless within their relationship. Their dynamic has changed. They both feel victim-like and see their partner as powerful, and even persecutory. When they come to me for therapy, typically they’ve both been using their go-to ego defence mechanisms and telling themselves ego-based stories for years.\r\n\r\nThese behaviours and narratives are entrenched in their relationship, so both partners have plenty of ‘evidence’ to back up their ego’s version of the ‘truth’. Often, they disregard any information that conflicts with their version.\r\n\r\nMany of the partners engaged in cycles of conflict didn’t develop distress tolerance in their relationships with their parents when they were children. It’s not their fault. And it’s not your fault. It’s not your parents’ fault, either, or even their parents’ fault – they didn’t develop distress tolerance either.\r\n\r\nWe know our ability or inability to tolerate distress is handed down from parent to child. You know already that securely attached people have a higher threshold for handling distress than those who are insecurely attached.\r\n\r\nIt’s a different experience for the insecurely attached. Their threshold is lower, and arousal is higher, which means more distress to deal with, more ego-based stories and defence mechanisms.\r\n\r\nThose who were faced with the biological paradox will have an even lower threshold for distress tolerance, and they live with chronic arousal, perceiving many more threats in everyday life, and certainly in their relationship.\r\n<h3><strong>Why judgement is problematic</strong></h3>\r\nWhat’s important here is that we don’t judge ourselves, our partner, or anyone, for being insecurely attached and not developing distress tolerance. It’s easy to want to judge our partner for their inadequacies or blame our parents for our insecure attachment.\r\n\r\nUsing judgement may allow us a little ego boost. However, it’s not healthy for us – and it’s using the ego defence mechanism projection. It’s fine to acknowledge that it’s a shame, or that life would have been simpler if we were securely attached, but judgement is problematic. It implies that we’re not like the person we’re judging (so we’re ‘good’), and therefore are better than them (as they’re ‘bad’).\r\n\r\nDo you recognise this? Whenever we use the extremes of good and bad, we’re using the defence mechanism called splitting. It means we’ve separated the person into the black and white binary and removed all grey zones.\r\n\r\nSo, what’s in the grey zone? Well, everything that’s about all of us being complex, real and multifaceted human beings. The grey zone contains an understanding of our partner’s journey, their <a href=\"https://www.mamamia.com.au/adult-attachment-styles/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">relational templates</a> and childhood experiences, our journey, our need or safety and what our ego and physiology do when we perceive danger.\r\n\r\nWe’re no more ‘good’ than they are ‘bad’. We all need to understand that there are no angels or devils in this life. My clients often want to make me out as ‘good’, as if my life is perfect and that I never struggle with tough times. I always tell my clients that there are no halos in my consulting room – not on their heads and certainly not on mine.\r\n\r\nJust like all of us mortals, I behave according to my <a href=\"https://www.mamamia.com.au/avoidant-attachment-style-relationships/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">attachment style </a>and can hit my limit of distress tolerance. I work within myself to increase my threshold of what I can tolerate.\r\n\r\nWe’re all in the human experience together. When we judge someone, we believe they should know better and behave better. We can also judge our own behaviour harshly, whether it’s with our partner or with others. We can be so fearful of being seen as inadequate and deemed unacceptable in our community.\r\n\r\nRemember, abandonment is primitively wired within us as being akin to death – a lone human didn’t live for long in the wild. Today, there’s a major problem socially and via the media, as we judge all adults through the lens of a securely attached template. It’s a bit rich, isn’t it, given that only 60 per cent of us are actually securely attached. We don’t mind being completely inconsistent within ourselves as we delight in judging a monumental celebrity downfall.\r\n\r\nWe love to gossip about it and judge that celebrity accordingly. We even sound holier than thou and feel rather unblemished as we speak. We see the celebrity splashed across the internet, hiding their ashamed faces on the evening news and in magazines. We love seeing how terrified, unworthy and below us they are now. We devour this stuff because it makes us feel better about our own lives.\r\n\r\nWe do this to our partner in our relationship, too. We judge them harshly for what they don’t know exists inside them.\r\n\r\nWhen we hit our own threshold of distress tolerance, we often make excuses for our cruel or out-of-control behaviour. We may have called our partner ‘weak’ or ‘pathetic’ or yelled at them to ‘shut up!’, with expletives added for emphasis to frighten them just a little more. Or maybe we punished them with the silent treatment for days.\r\n\r\n<style>/*! elementor - v3.7.7 - 20-09-2022 */<br />\r\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}</style>\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Couple-Conflict.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Couple-Conflict.png 654w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Couple-Conflict-300x211.png 300w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Couple-Conflict-600x422.png 600w\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"450\" />\r\n\r\nOne of the best things we can do in our relationship is to stop our judgement and develop empathy for both of our individual struggles and how they interact in our relationship.\r\n\r\nWe’re all humans, influenced by our primitive biology and relational wiring. We all can feel sadness, anxiety, irritation, shame, humiliation, guilt, pain and frustration. We’d be robots if we didn’t. The difference lies in our ability to manage these feelings.\r\n\r\nThe first step we can take is to attend to our own home. It’s your turn to explore your own threshold of distress tolerance, to understand why and how you fight with your partner. You’re not responsible for the attachment style you developed, nor for what triggers you into flight-or-fight with your partner. You’re not even responsible for the ego-based stories you’ve been constructing in your mind for decades.\r\n\r\nHowever, now that you know about attachment styles, distress intolerance, triggers, ego-based stories and defence mechanisms, it’s your responsibility to liberate your relationship from the suffering caused by these things. And it’s not just the suffering to your relationship.\r\n\r\nWe take ourselves everywhere, and when we take responsibility and liberate ourselves from the impact of the past, we liberate our partner, any children, friends, family and colleagues at work. Developing distress tolerance is how you stop the cycles of conflict with your partner.\r\n\r\nThe more you do this, the more peace you’ll both feel. This creates the space to make happy memories together. I see this with my clients all the time. They do the work and the dark grey cloud that hovered over them disappears.\r\n<h3><strong>How do we develop distress tolerance?</strong></h3>\r\nWe can’t separate mind and body as they influence each other constantly. We are one organism. This means we need both mind and body solutions for developing distress tolerance.\r\n\r\nI believe there are two main categories of coping strategies that are critical for developing distress tolerance. They allow you to reduce your reactivity to triggers through understanding how your triggers link to that whiff of familiarity from the past.\r\n\r\nThis awareness will help you calm down and then you’ll recover more quickly. For couples, this decreases the damage of the conflict. These categories are connected and overlap in practice, but I’ll present them separately so you can see how they work. They are -\r\n\r\n1.

You can use these to calm down whenever you want or need to. You already know that your limbic system is your brain’s emotional centre.\r\n\r\nWhen your amygdalae determine you are under threat, your body releases the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol, which increase your heart rate and blood pressure. These changes prepare your body for fight-or-flight, and your thinking brain takes a back seat.\r\n\r\nSometimes the left hemisphere goes offline, as in the case of adults with childhood trauma. To develop distress tolerance, you need to learn to get yourself out of fight-or-flight mode, to calm your whole system. Then you can get on with your life and think creatively about your next steps.\r\n<h4><strong>Stop the conflict and take time out</strong></h4>\r\nThe first thing you need to do is to stop the episode of conflict. You need to take time out from the fight with your partner, even if that means physically moving away from them and into a safe space. You can’t calm yourself down if your fight-or-flight response is still being stimulated, as the hormones will keep surging through your body.\r\n\r\nSo, we need to take the time to calm down before returning to each other. Think about how long you need. Is it fifteen minutes or is it hours? Take the time to ensure you don’t keep re-triggering each other. When you reunite, you need to have a mindset that’s open to resolving the conflict in a respectful way. You may even simply let it go and move on.\r\n\r\nOnce you’ve taken time out, you can use some simple hacks to calm down. These help you join your mind and body together to focus on your here and now. When you’re triggered, you’ve confused what’s past and present. We all only have now: our past is over, and our future is not yet written.\r\n\r\nThere are many ways to calm down, and I’m going to share my top three go-to tools. These tools have been scientifically tested, and even medical experts recommend their effectiveness. The more often I use these, the higher my threshold for tolerating distress becomes. Most of my clients find them life changing. They can be done anytime and anywhere. Just make sure you keep your eyes open during the breathing exercise when driving!\r\n\r\nMy top three bio-hacks are:\r\n\r\n1. Breathing exercise to stimulate the vagus nerve.\r\n\r\n2. Mindfulness.\r\n\r\n3. Riding the 90-second wave.\r\n\r\nThese bio-hacks return us to the present. And the only fact we really have (as opposed to the fake news created by our ego) is that our physical sensations are actually happening in the present. By focusing on being present and calming down, we can learn to tolerate distress within ourselves.\r\n\r\nThis means we’re not needing our external world to be our crutch. We’re not distracting ourselves by reading, watching TV, tidying the office drawers or rearranging the kitchen cupboards. Distraction is being used as a defence mechanism.\r\n\r\nWhat we often try to do is use the external world to help tidy up our distressed internal world. We unconsciously believe we’ll get our mind in order if we can just achieve order in the kitchen. (And of course, it’s nice to have a compelling reason to tidy the kitchen cupboards). But distraction won’t help increase distress tolerance, and developing distress tolerance is critical for decreasing the cycles of conflict in our relationship.\r\n<h4><strong>1. Breathing exercise to stimulate the vagus nerve. </strong></h4>\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\nAt a biological level, breathing is the most powerful way we can regulate our fight-or-flight response. This works because of our vagus nerve and its incredibly calming capacity. The vagus nerve is the tenth cranial nerve, and it extends from our brainstem down through the neck and thorax to our abdomen.\r\n\r\nThink of it as a two-way street that carries a massive range of messages from our digestive system and organs to the brain, and back again. When we stimulate the vagus nerve, we send a message to our body saying it’s time to relax and de-stress. You do this simply by taking a slow, deep, deliberate breath in through your nose and down to your stomach. Then, you exhale slowly. These deep breaths activate neurons that detect blood pressure. The neurons also signal to the vagus nerve that your blood pressure is too high, so it lowers your heart rate, which helps you calm down.\r\n<h4><strong>2. Mindfulness.</strong></h4>\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\nYou will now be aware that you compound your own stress and distress by creating ego-based stories that evoke sadness, anxiety or fear. And you know that your ego is just a part of your mind, continuously concerned with your identity from moment to moment. Mindfulness is a great tool to help us calm down when our ego’s stories take off, tell fake news or lack coherence. We’ve seen what happens to us physically and mentally when we let the stories rule the roost. Mindfulness takes our attention away from our left hemisphere, allowing us to drop the stories and redirect our mind to ourselves as an entire living and breathing organism.\r\n<h4><strong>3. Riding the 90-second wave.</strong></h4>\r\n<h4><strong> </strong></h4>\r\nFor this approach, we can think of our body’s experience during fight-or-flight as a wave in the ocean with a beginning and an end.\r\n\r\nFollowing her stroke, Jill Bolte Taylor discovered that the physical sensations of fight-or-flight (such as surging adrenaline, racing heart rate, increasing blood pressure) reach a peak and then dissipate by themselves in 90 seconds. This means the physiological experience of emotions such as anger, frustration, sadness or distress takes only 90 seconds to ride through our body.\r\n\r\nSo, why all this talk of distress intolerance if we only need to cope for 90 seconds? Bolte Taylor explains that our thoughts continue to re-stimulate our nervous system, which causes the fight-or-flight reaction to occur again and again.\r\n\r\nThink of it like this: we don’t normally just see one wave hit the beach. They keep rolling in, one after the other, in a continuous cycle. Similarly, our ego-based stories keep reactivating the physiological waves, keeping us in fight or flight until we stop the stories or become exhausted.\r\n\r\nThis is why it’s critical you become aware of the stories you tell yourself. These stories repeatedly hurt you and your relationship. Remember, the stories don’t just stay in your mind. If you believe you are stupid or hard done by or not good enough, then you’ll treat yourself accordingly. If you believe your partner is disappointing, selfish or cruel, you’ll treat them as such. Where your mind goes, your behaviour often follows, and this has consequences for your relationship.\r\n\r\nThese hacks are simple. The more frequently you use these strategies, the more you’ll want to keep using them to alleviate your distress, anxiety and sadness. You’ll no longer be held hostage or feel helpless in the face of your emotional state.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of these hacks is that you can take them with you wherever you go. Over time, you’ll become more resilient and increase your threshold for tolerating distress.\r\n\r\n<em>This is an extract from </em><a href=\"https://www.booktopia.com.au/relationship-reset-lissy-abrahams/book/9781760989781.html?irclickid=Tumwb6xpQxyNUNV0vi2cWRoIUkDRHoTV5V-CQw0&amp;utm_campaign=Skimbit%20Ltd.&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_source=Impact&amp;bk_source=10078&amp;bk_source_id=10078&amp;irgwc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Relationship Reset</em></a>, published by Pan Macmillan Australia, available now from <a href=\"https://www.booktopia.com.au/relationship-reset-lissy-abrahams/book/9781760989781.html?irclickid=Tumwb6xpQxyNUNV0vi2cWRoIUkDRHoTV5V-CQw0&amp;utm_campaign=Skimbit%20Ltd.&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_source=Impact&amp;bk_source=10078&amp;bk_source_id=10078&amp;irgwc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Booktopia</a>, Book Depository, Amazon and all the other online bookstores.\r\n\r\nFor more from Lissy Abrahams, you can follow her on<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/lissy.abrahams/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Instagram</a>.\r\n\r\n<em>Have you practiced any of these hacks before?

In that moment, we’re triggered into fight- or-flight and our mind and body react to our partner as if they were a hungry bear chasing us.\r\n\r\nThe threat feels very real, and we react accordingly. We fight or run for our lives. The tragedy is that couples can do this for years, or even decades.\r\n\r\nRemember, it typically takes around six years of conflict before a couple will contact a therapist for help. Conflict is incredibly distressing for both partners. It’s easy to see the distress on the fighters: they shout, blame, degrade, regress, make their bodies bigger or voices louder in anger.\r\n\r\nThose who flee the conflict are also extremely distressed, even if they don’t look it. Remember, they have the same cascading survival reaction that compels them to run away as the fighters have to attack. Both experience a surge in their adrenaline and cortisol levels, and their heart rate and blood pressure increase.\r\n\r\nProlonged couple conflict causes suffering for both partners. It’s gruelling, both physically and mentally, and it takes time and energy to recover from each exhausting episode. Very few of us bounce back after a fight without any lingering impact.\r\n\r\nThe residue of conflict impacts our <a href=\"https://www.mamamia.com.au/signs-of-a-healthy-relationship/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">relationship</a> and creates the perfect climate for the ego to tell elaborate stories of our partner’s inadequacy. It’s vastly different from the way we saw each other at the start of the relationship.\r\n\r\nI see many couples where both partners feel vulnerable and powerless within their relationship. Their dynamic has changed. They both feel victim-like and see their partner as powerful, and even persecutory. When they come to me for therapy, typically they’ve both been using their go-to ego defence mechanisms and telling themselves ego-based stories for years.\r\n\r\nThese behaviours and narratives are entrenched in their relationship, so both partners have plenty of ‘evidence’ to back up their ego’s version of the ‘truth’. Often, they disregard any information that conflicts with their version.\r\n\r\nMany of the partners engaged in cycles of conflict didn’t develop distress tolerance in their relationships with their parents when they were children. It’s not their fault. And it’s not your fault. It’s not your parents’ fault, either, or even their parents’ fault – they didn’t develop distress tolerance either.\r\n\r\nWe know our ability or inability to tolerate distress is handed down from parent to child. You know already that securely attached people have a higher threshold for handling distress than those who are insecurely attached.\r\n\r\nIt’s a different experience for the insecurely attached. Their threshold is lower, and arousal is higher, which means more distress to deal with, more ego-based stories and defence mechanisms.\r\n\r\nThose who were faced with the biological paradox will have an even lower threshold for distress tolerance, and they live with chronic arousal, perceiving many more threats in everyday life, and certainly in their relationship.\r\n<h3><strong>Why judgement is problematic</strong></h3>\r\nWhat’s important here is that we don’t judge ourselves, our partner, or anyone, for being insecurely attached and not developing distress tolerance.

It means we’ve separated the person into the black and white binary and removed all grey zones.\r\n\r\nSo, what’s in the grey zone? Well, everything that’s about all of us being complex, real and multifaceted human beings. The grey zone contains an understanding of our partner’s journey, their <a href=\"https://www.mamamia.com.au/adult-attachment-styles/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">relational templates</a> and childhood experiences, our journey, our need or safety and what our ego and physiology do when we perceive danger.\r\n\r\nWe’re no more ‘good’ than they are ‘bad’.

Think about how long you need. Is it fifteen minutes or is it hours? Take the time to ensure you don’t keep re-triggering each other. When you reunite, you need to have a mindset that’s open to resolving the conflict in a respectful way. You may even simply let it go and move on.\r\n\r\nOnce you’ve taken time out, you can use some simple hacks to calm down. These help you join your mind and body together to focus on your here and now. When you’re triggered, you’ve confused what’s past and present. We all only have now: our past is over, and our future is not yet written.\r\n\r\nThere are many ways to calm down, and I’m going to share my top three go-to tools. These tools have been scientifically tested, and even medical experts recommend their effectiveness. The more often I use these, the higher my threshold for tolerating distress becomes. Most of my clients find them life changing. They can be done anytime and anywhere. Just make sure you keep your eyes open during the breathing exercise when driving!\r\n\r\nMy top three bio-hacks are:\r\n\r\n1. Breathing exercise to stimulate the vagus nerve.\r\n\r\n2. Mindfulness.\r\n\r\n3. Riding the 90-second wave.\r\n\r\nThese bio-hacks return us to the present. And the only fact we really have (as opposed to the fake news created by our ego) is that our physical sensations are actually happening in the present. By focusing on being present and calming down, we can learn to tolerate distress within ourselves.\r\n\r\nThis means we’re not needing our external world to be our crutch. We’re not distracting ourselves by reading, watching TV, tidying the office drawers or rearranging the kitchen cupboards. Distraction is being used as a defence mechanism.\r\n\r\nWhat we often try to do is use the external world to help tidy up our distressed internal world. We unconsciously believe we’ll get our mind in order if we can just achieve order in the kitchen. (And of course, it’s nice to have a compelling reason to tidy the kitchen cupboards). But distraction won’t help increase distress tolerance, and developing distress tolerance is critical for decreasing the cycles of conflict in our relationship.\r\n<h4><strong>1. Breathing exercise to stimulate the vagus nerve. </strong></h4>\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\nAt a biological level, breathing is the most powerful way we can regulate our fight-or-flight response. This works because of our vagus nerve and its incredibly calming capacity. The vagus nerve is the tenth cranial nerve, and it extends from our brainstem down through the neck and thorax to our abdomen.\r\n\r\nThink of it as a two-way street that carries a massive range of messages from our digestive system and organs to the brain, and back again. When we stimulate the vagus nerve, we send a message to our body saying it’s time to relax and de-stress. You do this simply by taking a slow, deep, deliberate breath in through your nose and down to your stomach. Then, you exhale slowly. These deep breaths activate neurons that detect blood pressure. The neurons also signal to the vagus nerve that your blood pressure is too high, so it lowers your heart rate, which helps you calm down.\r\n<h4><strong>2. Mindfulness.</strong></h4>\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\nYou will now be aware that you compound your own stress and distress by creating ego-based stories that evoke sadness, anxiety or fear. And you know that your ego is just a part of your mind, continuously concerned with your identity from moment to moment. Mindfulness is a great tool to help us calm down when our ego’s stories take off, tell fake news or lack coherence. We’ve seen what happens to us physically and mentally when we let the stories rule the roost. Mindfulness takes our attention away from our left hemisphere, allowing us to drop the stories and redirect our mind to ourselves as an entire living and breathing organism.\r\n<h4><strong>3. Riding the 90-second wave.</strong></h4>\r\n<h4><strong> </strong></h4>\r\nFor this approach, we can think of our body’s experience during fight-or-flight as a wave in the ocean with a beginning and an end.\r\n\r\nFollowing her stroke, Jill Bolte Taylor discovered that the physical sensations of fight-or-flight (such as surging adrenaline, racing heart rate, increasing blood pressure) reach a peak and then dissipate by themselves in 90 seconds. This means the physiological experience of emotions such as anger, frustration, sadness or distress takes only 90 seconds to ride through our body.\r\n\r\nSo, why all this talk of distress intolerance if we only need to cope for 90 seconds? Bolte Taylor explains that our thoughts continue to re-stimulate our nervous system, which causes the fight-or-flight reaction to occur again and again.\r\n\r\nThink of it like this: we don’t normally just see one wave hit the beach. They keep rolling in, one after the other, in a continuous cycle. Similarly, our ego-based stories keep reactivating the physiological waves, keeping us in fight or flight until we stop the stories or become exhausted.\r\n\r\nThis is why it’s critical you become aware of the stories you tell yourself. These stories repeatedly hurt you and your relationship. Remember, the stories don’t just stay in your mind. If you believe you are stupid or hard done by or not good enough, then you’ll treat yourself accordingly. If you believe your partner is disappointing, selfish or cruel, you’ll treat them as such. Where your mind goes, your behaviour often follows, and this has consequences for your relationship.\r\n\r\nThese hacks are simple. The more frequently you use these strategies, the more you’ll want to keep using them to alleviate your distress, anxiety and sadness. You’ll no longer be held hostage or feel helpless in the face of your emotional state.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of these hacks is that you can take them with you wherever you go. Over time, you’ll become more resilient and increase your threshold for tolerating distress.\r\n\r\n<em>This is an extract from </em><a href=\"https://www.booktopia.com.au/relationship-reset-lissy-abrahams/book/9781760989781.html?irclickid=Tumwb6xpQxyNUNV0vi2cWRoIUkDRHoTV5V-CQw0&amp;utm_campaign=Skimbit%20Ltd.&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_source=Impact&amp;bk_source=10078&amp;bk_source_id=10078&amp;irgwc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Relationship Reset</em></a>, published by Pan Macmillan Australia, available now from <a href=\"https://www.booktopia.com.au/relationship-reset-lissy-abrahams/book/9781760989781.html?irclickid=Tumwb6xpQxyNUNV0vi2cWRoIUkDRHoTV5V-CQw0&amp;utm_campaign=Skimbit%20Ltd.&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_source=Impact&amp;bk_source=10078&amp;bk_source_id=10078&amp;irgwc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Booktopia</a>, Book Depository, Amazon and all the other online bookstores.\r\n\r\nFor more from Lissy Abrahams, you can follow her on<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/lissy.abrahams/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Instagram</a>.\r\n\r\n<em>Have you practiced any of these hacks before?

Identify said blind spots - because they can be difficult to notice. Especially because they\'re so ingrained into our own personality; they\'re essentially part of what makes you, \'you\'.</p><p>And while we\'d all like to think our personalities and behaviour patterns are just fine, taking time to assess how certain things impact your relationship is only going to help your relationship in the long run.</p><p>So, what are the most common kind of blind spots?</p><p>According to Abrahams, there are four key ones to look out for:</p>		\n			<style>/*! elementor - v3.11.0 - 13-02-2023 */\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}</style>												<img width=\"59\" height=\"59\" src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/1.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/1.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/1-prxajyhczkhsht03tu0623eeuw48qi08fhbu0156r8.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" />															\n			<h4>Relational templates</h4>		\n		<p>\"One of the greatest blind spots is that we don’t really understand how we have been programmed for relationships,\" said Abrahams.  </p><p>\"When we were children, we absorbed so much information, the happy and connected times, and the frightening or lonely times. Imagine that these experiences are encoded into a program (called a relational template) – that we run our relationships from throughout life.\" </p><p>Relational templates are the foundation that hold our \"expectations, beliefs, opinions, and rules for how we should or shouldn’t behave and be treated in a relationship,\" said Abrahams. </p><p>It\'s important to note that no two relationship templates are the same - we\'re all unique and \"made up of thousands and thousands of interactions with parents or caregivers.\"  </p><p>\"Our partner will have different templates which means there will always be a gap between theirs and ours.\"</p><p>\"How partners navigate this gap is the difference between a safe and happy enough relationship and one that struggles.\"  </p>		\n															<img width=\"59\" height=\"59\" src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/2-prxajyhczkhsht03tu0623eeuw48qi08fhbu0156r8.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" />															\n			<h4>Our threshold for distress tolerance</h4>		\n		<p>How you cope with this gap is key. </p><p>\"It’s a massive blind spot for us if we can’t cope with or tolerate our anxious, overwhelmed or upset feelings that arise when faced with the gap between our relational template and our partner’s.\" </p><p>\"At these times, we’ve hit our threshold and have distress intolerance. If partners can’t tolerate each other’s different relationship expectations, beliefs, opinions, and rules then they will definitely be triggered as this will feel unsafe.\" </p><p>Abrahams goes on to say that partners will feel distressed, sad, lonely and overwhelmed if they experience their partner as: </p>		\n			<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/plugins/elementor/assets/css/widget-icon-list.min.css\">		<ul>\n							<li>\n										Speaking to them in a way they disapprove of. \n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Not celebrating their birthday with sufficient thought.  \n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Not listening attentively or adequately.\n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Not supporting them sufficiently.\n									</li>\n						</ul>\n															<img width=\"59\" height=\"59\" src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/3.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/3.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/3-prxajzf76ej2teyqocesml5vg9zly73yrlzbhb3sl0.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" />															\n			<h4>Our triggers</h4>		\n		<p>Another blind spot? When we don’t know what really triggers us and why, shares Abrahams. </p><p>This constitutes any behaviour that might cause us to recall a traumatic or distressing emotional experience from the past, \"usually without any awareness of the original event\".  </p><p>Abrahams goes on to explain that we can be triggered by our partner who might not be able to identify these emotions as having originated in the past. \"They feel very present,\" she adds.</p><p>\"When triggered by our partner’s words or actions, we can suddenly feel distressed or overwhelmed just like we did when we were a vulnerable child. These past experiences are still inside us, causing the experience with our partner to feel frightening, so we react using our survival response of fight-or-flight.\"</p><p>Interesting, right?</p><p>\"What triggers us with our partner will be linked to the information unconsciously held in our relational templates. If it wasn’t encoded in the template, we wouldn’t care so much.\"</p><p>For example, \"If we feel our partner is disapproving of us, it would feel devastating because disapproval or, even worse, rejection, is in our template. We will typically react in fight-or-flight mode to this.\" </p><p>Or, \"If we experience our partner as criticising, we will likely be triggered as being criticised as a child felt terrible and now feels overwhelming with our partner.\"</p><p>Out of all the blind spots, this is one of the most major. </p><p>Abrahams essentially explains it as time travelling - where we get confused about what constitutes as feelings of the past and what is present. </p><p>\"Just because our partner’s words or actions feel the same inside us as past events, doesn’t mean it is the same now.\"</p>		\n															<img width=\"59\" height=\"59\" src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/4.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/4.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/4-prxajzf76ej2teyqocesml5vg9zly73yrlzbhb3sl0.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" />															\n			<h4>Our defence mechanisms</h4>		\n		<p>When we get into an argument with our partner, we have mechanisms to protect ourselves - it could be denial, defensiveness, or just completely shutting down.</p><p>\"Whenever we have gone into fight-or-flight due to our partner’s words or actions, we can unconsciously use ego defence mechanisms. These are a form of fight-or-flight (avoidance) and are a major blind spot in couple relationships, especially as they too are unconscious.\"</p><p>Some common ego defence mechanisms are: </p>		\n					<ul>\n							<li>\n										Denial - \"Our mind blocks whatever we can’t accept at that moment to protect us from the emotional impact. This could be from the devastating news of a death, serious illness, or of a cheating spouse.\"  \n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Projection - \"We unconsciously disown parts of ourselves that we don’t like and ‘see’ them in others. For example, we may feel insecure about our career with a particular colleague. Instead of tolerating our insecurity, we look for negative qualities in them to make us feel better.\"  \n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Regression - \"We revert to the behaviours or emotions of an earlier developmental age as we can’t tolerate the feelings inside us. With our partner, we may scream, cry, become petulant, sulk, complain, use a baby voice, or refuse to speak.\" \n									</li>\n								<li>\n										Intellectualisation - \"Making external excuses or justifications are also ways to avoid the emotional experience that is occurring.\"  \n									</li>\n						</ul>\n			<h3>How should you deal with relationship blind spots? </h3>		\n		<p>As we touched on before, the first and most important step is to assess your blind spots and take full responsibility for them.</p><p>\"It’s not your partner’s fault how your relational template was shaped when you were young. They were not there.\"</p><p>There are three ways to tackle this head-on.</p>		\n															<img width=\"59\" height=\"59\" src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/1.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/1.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/1-prxajyhczkhsht03tu0623eeuw48qi08fhbu0156r8.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" />															\n			<h4>Therapy</h4>		\n		<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

- source: Mamamia\r\n<h2>The 4 common \'blind spots\' in your relationship, and how to spot them</h2>\r\n15 January 2023\r\n\r\nYou know those arguments you have with your partner that tend to go... absolutely nowhere?\r\n\r\nThey don\'t understand your point of view; you don\'t understand theirs - and you go around in circles? And then you both convince yourselves that it\'s fixed and do it all over again a few months later??\r\n\r\nSigh.\r\n\r\nThat, friend, is what experts call a relationship \'blind spot\'.\r\n\r\nBasically, when you\'re both just not *getting* each other.\r\n\r\nWe can suddenly get defensive, emotional, needy or just avoid the situation completely - all coping mechanisms we use to protect ourselves.\r\n\r\nAccording to couples counsellor <em>Lissy Abrahams</em>, the causes of these blind spots and the ensuing coping mechanisms, go all the way back to your childhood.\r\n\r\n\"We were all shaped by our environment growing up more than we all know,\" explains Abrahams. \"It’s like there is a program from which we automatically run much of our lives and our relationships.\"\r\n\r\n\"What’s critical here, is that we cannot easily access the information for what shaped us, as it’s held unconsciously in our mind. For many of us, the information was encoded when young, before we even had words.\"\r\n\r\nMeaning? You and your partner have been shaped differently and basically run off different programs.\r\n\r\nEnter: Conflict.\r\n\r\n\"As these are unconscious, both partners will have blind spots about how they’ve individually been programmed to relate.\'\r\n\r\nThe worst part about it? \"Partners often have no idea of the extent to which their blind spots impact their own relationship.\"\r\n\r\nThe thing is, though - we all have these blind spots. Every couple. And understanding them can help improve your relationship.\r\n\r\nThat\'s why we\'re going to tell you exactly what to look for, along with what to do about it.\r\n\r\nGot that notepad ready?\r\n\r\n<style>/*! elementor - v3.11.0 - 13-02-2023 */<br />\r\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}</style>\r\n<h3>What are the most common blind spots?</h3>\r\nThe first thing you need to do? Identify said blind spots - because they can be difficult to notice. Especially because they\'re so ingrained into our own personality; they\'re essentially part of what makes you, \'you\'.\r\n\r\nAnd while we\'d all like to think our personalities and behaviour patterns are just fine, taking time to assess how certain things impact your relationship is only going to help your relationship in the long run.\r\n\r\nSo, what are the most common kind of blind spots?\r\n\r\nAccording to Abrahams, there are four key ones to look out for:\r\n\r\n<style>/*! elementor - v3.11.0 - 13-02-2023 */<br />\r\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}</style>\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/1.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/1.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/1-prxajyhczkhsht03tu0623eeuw48qi08fhbu0156r8.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Relational templates</h4>\r\n\"One of the greatest blind spots is that we don’t really understand how we have been programmed for relationships,\" said Abrahams.\r\n\r\n\"When we were children, we absorbed so much information, the happy and connected times, and the frightening or lonely times. Imagine that these experiences are encoded into a program (called a relational template) – that we run our relationships from throughout life.\"\r\n\r\nRelational templates are the foundation that hold our \"expectations, beliefs, opinions, and rules for how we should or shouldn’t behave and be treated in a relationship,\" said Abrahams.\r\n\r\nIt\'s important to note that no two relationship templates are the same - we\'re all unique and \"made up of thousands and thousands of interactions with parents or caregivers.\"\r\n\r\n\"Our partner will have different templates which means there will always be a gap between theirs and ours.\"\r\n\r\n\"How partners navigate this gap is the difference between a safe and happy enough relationship and one that struggles.\"\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/2-prxajyhczkhsht03tu0623eeuw48qi08fhbu0156r8.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Our threshold for distress tolerance</h4>\r\nHow you cope with this gap is key.\r\n\r\n\"It’s a massive blind spot for us if we can’t cope with or tolerate our anxious, overwhelmed or upset feelings that arise when faced with the gap between our relational template and our partner’s.\"\r\n\r\n\"At these times, we’ve hit our threshold and have distress intolerance. If partners can’t tolerate each other’s different relationship expectations, beliefs, opinions, and rules then they will definitely be triggered as this will feel unsafe.\"\r\n\r\nAbrahams goes on to say that partners will feel distressed, sad, lonely and overwhelmed if they experience their partner as:\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Speaking to them in a way they disapprove of.</li>\r\n 	<li>Not celebrating their birthday with sufficient thought.</li>\r\n 	<li>Not listening attentively or adequately.</li>\r\n 	<li>Not supporting them sufficiently.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/3.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/3.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/3-prxajzf76ej2teyqocesml5vg9zly73yrlzbhb3sl0.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Our triggers</h4>\r\nAnother blind spot? When we don’t know what really triggers us and why, shares Abrahams.\r\n\r\nThis constitutes any behaviour that might cause us to recall a traumatic or distressing emotional experience from the past, \"usually without any awareness of the original event\".\r\n\r\nAbrahams goes on to explain that we can be triggered by our partner who might not be able to identify these emotions as having originated in the past. \"They feel very present,\" she adds.\r\n\r\n\"When triggered by our partner’s words or actions, we can suddenly feel distressed or overwhelmed just like we did when we were a vulnerable child. These past experiences are still inside us, causing the experience with our partner to feel frightening, so we react using our survival response of fight-or-flight.\"\r\n\r\nInteresting, right?\r\n\r\n\"What triggers us with our partner will be linked to the information unconsciously held in our relational templates. If it wasn’t encoded in the template, we wouldn’t care so much.\"\r\n\r\nFor example, \"If we feel our partner is disapproving of us, it would feel devastating because disapproval or, even worse, rejection, is in our template. We will typically react in fight-or-flight mode to this.\"\r\n\r\nOr, \"If we experience our partner as criticising, we will likely be triggered as being criticised as a child felt terrible and now feels overwhelming with our partner.\"\r\n\r\nOut of all the blind spots, this is one of the most major.\r\n\r\nAbrahams essentially explains it as time travelling - where we get confused about what constitutes as feelings of the past and what is present.\r\n\r\n\"Just because our partner’s words or actions feel the same inside us as past events, doesn’t mean it is the same now.\"\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/4.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/4.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/4-prxajzf76ej2teyqocesml5vg9zly73yrlzbhb3sl0.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Our defence mechanisms</h4>\r\nWhen we get into an argument with our partner, we have mechanisms to protect ourselves - it could be denial, defensiveness, or just completely shutting down.\r\n\r\n\"Whenever we have gone into fight-or-flight due to our partner’s words or actions, we can unconsciously use ego defence mechanisms. These are a form of fight-or-flight (avoidance) and are a major blind spot in couple relationships, especially as they too are unconscious.\"\r\n\r\nSome common ego defence mechanisms are:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Denial - \"Our mind blocks whatever we can’t accept at that moment to protect us from the emotional impact. This could be from the devastating news of a death, serious illness, or of a cheating spouse.\"</li>\r\n 	<li>Projection - \"We unconsciously disown parts of ourselves that we don’t like and ‘see’ them in others. For example, we may feel insecure about our career with a particular colleague. Instead of tolerating our insecurity, we look for negative qualities in them to make us feel better.\"</li>\r\n 	<li>Regression - \"We revert to the behaviours or emotions of an earlier developmental age as we can’t tolerate the feelings inside us. With our partner, we may scream, cry, become petulant, sulk, complain, use a baby voice, or refuse to speak.\"</li>\r\n 	<li>Intellectualisation - \"Making external excuses or justifications are also ways to avoid the emotional experience that is occurring.\"</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>How should you deal with relationship blind spots?</h3>\r\nAs we touched on before, the first and most important step is to assess your blind spots and take full responsibility for them.\r\n\r\n\"It’s not your partner’s fault how your relational template was shaped when you were young. They were not there.\"\r\n\r\nThere are three ways to tackle this head-on.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/1.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/1.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/1-prxajyhczkhsht03tu0623eeuw48qi08fhbu0156r8.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Therapy</h4>\r\nGoing for therapy and seeing a professional will help you \"join the present with the past,\" said Abrahams. \"We have all been shaped differently and have our own unique relational templates.\"\r\n\r\nAbrahams goes on to say that talking with a professional can help you understand \"how your relational templates from childhood still operate inside you today. Are you clingy? Mistrusting? Secretive? Why?\"\r\n\r\nShe said it can also help clarify how and why you react to your partner as you do. \"What are your triggers and what ego defence mechanisms do you use?\"\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/2-prxajyhczkhsht03tu0623eeuw48qi08fhbu0156r8.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Resources</h4>\r\n\"Some online courses, podcasts and books can also help you identify triggers and ego defence mechanisms.\"\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/3.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/3.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/3-prxajzf76ej2teyqocesml5vg9zly73yrlzbhb3sl0.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Calming the nervous system</h4>\r\n\"Repeatedly going into fight-or-flight mode can make your nervous system jumpy. Breathing exercises and/or mindfulness are great tools for calming it down and increasing your threshold for distress tolerance.\"\r\n\r\nSo, get into that meditation!\r\n\r\n\"Our blind spots leave us exposed to being triggered by our partner. The more we understand how we’ve been programmed, the more we can look after our relationship.\"\r\n\r\n<em>Want to hear more from Lissy Abrahams?

Imagine that these experiences are encoded into a program (called a relational template) – that we run our relationships from throughout life.\"\r\n\r\nRelational templates are the foundation that hold our \"expectations, beliefs, opinions, and rules for how we should or shouldn’t behave and be treated in a relationship,\" said Abrahams.\r\n\r\nIt\'s important to note that no two relationship templates are the same - we\'re all unique and \"made up of thousands and thousands of interactions with parents or caregivers.\"\r\n\r\n\"Our partner will have different templates which means there will always be a gap between theirs and ours.\"\r\n\r\n\"How partners navigate this gap is the difference between a safe and happy enough relationship and one that struggles.\"\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/2-prxajyhczkhsht03tu0623eeuw48qi08fhbu0156r8.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Our threshold for distress tolerance</h4>\r\nHow you cope with this gap is key.\r\n\r\n\"It’s a massive blind spot for us if we can’t cope with or tolerate our anxious, overwhelmed or upset feelings that arise when faced with the gap between our relational template and our partner’s.\"\r\n\r\n\"At these times, we’ve hit our threshold and have distress intolerance. If partners can’t tolerate each other’s different relationship expectations, beliefs, opinions, and rules then they will definitely be triggered as this will feel unsafe.\"\r\n\r\nAbrahams goes on to say that partners will feel distressed, sad, lonely and overwhelmed if they experience their partner as:\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Speaking to them in a way they disapprove of.</li>\r\n 	<li>Not celebrating their birthday with sufficient thought.</li>\r\n 	<li>Not listening attentively or adequately.</li>\r\n 	<li>Not supporting them sufficiently.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/3.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/3.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/3-prxajzf76ej2teyqocesml5vg9zly73yrlzbhb3sl0.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Our triggers</h4>\r\nAnother blind spot? When we don’t know what really triggers us and why, shares Abrahams.\r\n\r\nThis constitutes any behaviour that might cause us to recall a traumatic or distressing emotional experience from the past, \"usually without any awareness of the original event\".\r\n\r\nAbrahams goes on to explain that we can be triggered by our partner who might not be able to identify these emotions as having originated in the past. \"They feel very present,\" she adds.\r\n\r\n\"When triggered by our partner’s words or actions, we can suddenly feel distressed or overwhelmed just like we did when we were a vulnerable child. These past experiences are still inside us, causing the experience with our partner to feel frightening, so we react using our survival response of fight-or-flight.\"\r\n\r\nInteresting, right?\r\n\r\n\"What triggers us with our partner will be linked to the information unconsciously held in our relational templates. If it wasn’t encoded in the template, we wouldn’t care so much.\"\r\n\r\nFor example, \"If we feel our partner is disapproving of us, it would feel devastating because disapproval or, even worse, rejection, is in our template. We will typically react in fight-or-flight mode to this.\"\r\n\r\nOr, \"If we experience our partner as criticising, we will likely be triggered as being criticised as a child felt terrible and now feels overwhelming with our partner.\"\r\n\r\nOut of all the blind spots, this is one of the most major.\r\n\r\nAbrahams essentially explains it as time travelling - where we get confused about what constitutes as feelings of the past and what is present.\r\n\r\n\"Just because our partner’s words or actions feel the same inside us as past events, doesn’t mean it is the same now.\"\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/4.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/4.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/4-prxajzf76ej2teyqocesml5vg9zly73yrlzbhb3sl0.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Our defence mechanisms</h4>\r\nWhen we get into an argument with our partner, we have mechanisms to protect ourselves - it could be denial, defensiveness, or just completely shutting down.\r\n\r\n\"Whenever we have gone into fight-or-flight due to our partner’s words or actions, we can unconsciously use ego defence mechanisms. These are a form of fight-or-flight (avoidance) and are a major blind spot in couple relationships, especially as they too are unconscious.\"\r\n\r\nSome common ego defence mechanisms are:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Denial - \"Our mind blocks whatever we can’t accept at that moment to protect us from the emotional impact. This could be from the devastating news of a death, serious illness, or of a cheating spouse.\"</li>\r\n 	<li>Projection - \"We unconsciously disown parts of ourselves that we don’t like and ‘see’ them in others. For example, we may feel insecure about our career with a particular colleague. Instead of tolerating our insecurity, we look for negative qualities in them to make us feel better.\"</li>\r\n 	<li>Regression - \"We revert to the behaviours or emotions of an earlier developmental age as we can’t tolerate the feelings inside us. With our partner, we may scream, cry, become petulant, sulk, complain, use a baby voice, or refuse to speak.\"</li>\r\n 	<li>Intellectualisation - \"Making external excuses or justifications are also ways to avoid the emotional experience that is occurring.\"</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>How should you deal with relationship blind spots?</h3>\r\nAs we touched on before, the first and most important step is to assess your blind spots and take full responsibility for them.\r\n\r\n\"It’s not your partner’s fault how your relational template was shaped when you were young. They were not there.\"\r\n\r\nThere are three ways to tackle this head-on.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/1.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/1.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/1-prxajyhczkhsht03tu0623eeuw48qi08fhbu0156r8.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Therapy</h4>\r\nGoing for therapy and seeing a professional will help you \"join the present with the past,\" said Abrahams. \"We have all been shaped differently and have our own unique relational templates.\"\r\n\r\nAbrahams goes on to say that talking with a professional can help you understand \"how your relational templates from childhood still operate inside you today. Are you clingy? Mistrusting? Secretive? Why?\"\r\n\r\nShe said it can also help clarify how and why you react to your partner as you do. \"What are your triggers and what ego defence mechanisms do you use?\"\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/2-prxajyhczkhsht03tu0623eeuw48qi08fhbu0156r8.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Resources</h4>\r\n\"Some online courses, podcasts and books can also help you identify triggers and ego defence mechanisms.\"\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/3.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" srcset=\"https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/3.png 59w, https://www.lissyabrahams.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/elementor/thumbs/3-prxajzf76ej2teyqocesml5vg9zly73yrlzbhb3sl0.png 50w\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" />\r\n<h4>Calming the nervous system</h4>\r\n\"Repeatedly going into fight-or-flight mode can make your nervous system jumpy. Breathing exercises and/or mindfulness are great tools for calming it down and increasing your threshold for distress tolerance.\"\r\n\r\nSo, get into that meditation!\r\n\r\n\"Our blind spots leave us exposed to being triggered by our partner. The more we understand how we’ve been programmed, the more we can look after our relationship.\"\r\n\r\n<em>Want to hear more from Lissy Abrahams?
