When Their Mood Becomes Yours: How to Protect Your Emotional Space

AwakenYou in Your Marriage

Have you ever found yourself feeling frustrated or upset after spending time with your spouse—even when nothing in your day made you feel that way?
It could be that you’re unconsciously absorbing their emotions.
This is what we call emotional mirroring, and while it’s a natural part of being close to someone, it can sometimes create tension in our relationships. When we absorb our partner’s stress, frustration, or sadness, we lose the ability to stay grounded in our own emotional state—and that can lead to unnecessary conflict.
That’s why I’m so excited for today's podcast episode, "When Their Mood Becomes Yours: How to Protect Your Emotional Space."
In this episode, we’ll talk about:

• What emotional mirroring is and how it happens without us even noticing
• How to become more aware of when you’re taking on your spouse’s emotions
• Simple steps to create healthy emotional boundaries so you can stay connected without losing yourself in their feelings

By learning to recognize and manage emotional mirroring, you can show up with more compassion and calm in your marriage, even when your partner is having a tough day.
When you can do this then you become the conduit to their emotional well-being!
If this resonates with you, don’t miss out on this episode! Tune in now, and let’s work on staying connected to your partner without taking on their stress.
