My partner and I dont let our feelings get overwhelming. We express how we feel. We do
Question:
My partner and I don’t let our feelings get overwhelming. We express how we feel. We do not keep things bundled up inside and we definitely do not like to explode and let a conflict get out of hand. We take a time out, do relaxation exercises, or engage in self‐talk. To take a time out, we can either exit temporarily or count to 100 backwards. My partner always stops and goes for a walk when he gets angry to blow some steam off. Relaxation exercises help to control our physical responses. I like to exercise or go to the gym when I feel overwhelmed or angry. Sometimes I do yoga‐like exercises and breathing techniques and it really seems to help. Then, after our time out and we have calmed down, we can talk and listen to each other without losing our cool.
