Motivation To Change In Relationships
About this episode
The episode discusses the challenges of motivating change in relationships and emphasizes the importance of understanding barriers and building support.
Most relationships start with “I love you, you’re perfect”… and quickly turn into wanting your partner to change. The real problem isn’t usually whether they want to change—it’s that change is rarely A→B; it’s a process that requires understanding barriers, reducing shame, and building support. When couples shift from criticism to curiosity and create small, doable systems together, motivation increases and change becomes sustainable.
