How To Get Your Partner To Open Up About Feelings
It can be challenging to navigate a relationship when your partner doesn't talk about their feelings. You can feel lonely, or like you have to do all the emotional work on your own. In this video I share how you can approach your partner to start communication about feelings based on four different scenarios of why someone doesn't open up: enmeshment, emotional inhibition, mistrust or stonewalling.

Thank you Maika! i had a discussion this monday with a friend that went sideways and i remembered being open and try to see it from her perspective and be patient trying to communicate and not take things personal or get emotional its hard to navigate these kind of situations but with practice and determination you can get there and it worked out right in the end.

Thanks for sharing your experience! It sounds like a success ☀️. And yes 💯 with practice, awareness and intentionality we can navigate these situations 🌳
I had a fight a couple of months ago with the guy I was seeing. Since then, he shows interest in seeing me to talk, but then disappears. This has happened four or five times and I’m just sick about it. 😢 He only seems comfortable with texting right now which contributes to ambiguity. I’m not sure if texting him something in an attempt to help him open up would be good, or if it would be better to just let him come to me. I love your videos - any thoughts greatly appreciated. ❤

Hi - I’m glad my content resonates with you 🙂☀️ I can hear and understand your frustration with his ambiguity 💯 I don’t know any of the specifics, but in most cases like this, it’s best to address the ambiguity directly - in short something like: “I appreciate spending time with you and miss you. I’d love to have a clarifying conversation about our fight so we can move on from it. It sounds like you want that, too, but whenever we’re about to head into that direction you pull back. I’d like to better understand what happens within you in those moments. What makes you pull back?” No matter what it is that’s pulling him back, it’ll be helpful for it to be out in the open so you can clarify it.
