HOW TO CREATE A SAFE-PLACE RELATIONSHIP? An adversarial dynamic is created when you have become an aggressive authoritarian – an accuser, and your partner is likely to feel confused, intimidated, and defensive or victimized. This triggers the fight-or-flight response in the body, moving the cells into a place of protection and defense (counter-attack). It takes us out of a safe-place relationship with the partner and transforms it into a dynamic of antagonism, which threatens the trust & love bond between both partners. We now learn to give expression to what we feel or want without blaming or attacking. We learn to listen to our partner in an open, non-defensive way. We commit to give our partner the space for expressing himself or herself safely ~ without fear of retribution, punishment or ridicule!
