The way we present ourselves in interactions with our partner strongly shapes the dimensions of their responses to us. Kristy and Jerry explore the challenges involved in trying to remain positive, despite immediate impulses to strike back sometimes, when our partner is in a rough place and lets you know that with their presentation. The power of self-possession is undisputed, as it can completely alter the tone and content of what follows in interactions with your partner, ranging from the smallest of quibbles to large disagreements. We enact an all-too-realistic argument and revisit it to correct the trajectory of it into one that ends up being positive and connectable.

Progressing into survivorship and learning how to cherish one's one life and to thrive is the challenge. The crucible for all this is often often found in adult relationships. What is to be gained from identifying with victimhood, and how do I leave it? Kristy and Jerry consider this together.

Kristy and Jerry ponder the frustrations of disconnections and challenges that always seem to land in predictably annoying directions: why does it always have to be ABOUT you? We role-play the typical way this gets expressed and then do a healthy re-do of the same scenario.
