Relationships can bring out the best in us… and all of our fears as well. This episode is for anyone with anxieties and fears around relationships. 

Quotes to remember: 

“A relationship is not the answer to your problems in any way. It’s a mirror to show you more of who you are.”

“Within fear is an opportunity to discover just how powerful you are.” 

“It is not the absence of fear that defines a successful relationship; it’s the ability to move through that fear, to look at it and face it and move past it.” 

Takeaways:

  • We will all feel fear in a relationship, and it’s not a sign that the relationship isn’t right
  • Everyone has fears and a relationship will bring them to the surface
  • Fear has a million faces and shows itself in myriad ways
  • Fear is our mind’s response to being vulnerable
  • It’s important to recognize fear and air it out rather than avoid it
  • Love is the antithesis of fear; it is being open to anything that could happen
  • There will never be a time when we have defeated all of our fears and no longer feel fear
  • In a loving relationship, each individual is a willing participant in looking at themselves and who they are
  • Why be in a relationship if it’s resonating with the energy of worry and doubt the entire time, a fear of it ending? 
  • Rejection is not painful--self-rejection is
  • There is no such thing as a perfect relationship without fears
  • Being in relationship is one of the toughest things to do, period

What you’ll learn:

  • Why we feel afraid in relationships
  • A characterization of fear
