On our last episode, Dr. Rick Hanson and I began our conversation on how to find a long-term relationship by discussing intentions, psychological skills, and self-marketing strategies that bring us closer to finding someone who brings out the best in us.
This week, we expand our conversation to explore what traits to look for in a potential partner and in your dynamic with them. We discuss life growth curves, how to manage early conflict, healthy approaches for dealing with rejection, and how to support those still navigating a difficult search.
