Episode Description
No one wants to feel powerless, and yet we are destined to feel vulnerable and powerless particularly when we are in intimate relationships. The fact that power differentials exist in relationships is not in question; how couples learn to navigate them is. In unhealthy or abusive relationships sex and money are weapons of power for ultimate control and exploitation, and power struggles about sex and money can occur even in the healthiest of relationships—it’s the human condition. So how do individuals and couples learn to balance power in their relationship? The answer is different for each relationship, but all healthy relationships are built on empowered partners. Our guest, Debra Kaplan helps you understand how to successfully harness authentic power, identifying exploitation and how to engage healthy boundaries, learn the underlying attachment styles in relationships that contribute to over-valuation and under-valuation of self and creating healthy sexual and financial boundaries in relationship.
