How much were you and your partner able to be authentic and vulnerable with each other over the last 12 months?
Psychologist Dr Sue Johnson believes that partners need to be able to build a strong emotional bond with each other. To do this, you need to be able to express your fears and needs.
‘Voicing your deepest emotions – sometimes sadness and shame, but most often attachment fears – may be the most difficult step, but it is also the most rewarding,’ she explainss. ‘It lets your partner see what’s really at stake with you when you argue.’
