Advice for Early Stage Relationships

We’re back with special guest Ann Kelley of the Therapist Uncensored podcast, and folks, she’s dropping knowledge bombs left and right on this one. Our question for today is from a listener in her 60s, getting ready to put herself out there to date after a divorce. We’ve all got so much to say about this one, so let’s get right to the quotes:

Quotes:

The red flag is when we're not paying attention to something that's happening internally or we're dismissing part of our experience.

Our value systems don't have to be identical, but are they aligned enough?

Having a difficult time saying “I’m sorry has a lot more to do with our nervous system than our knowledge.

We don't need to find the perfect person. We need to find somebody that's willing to grow with us

Sometimes a red flag doesn’t mean run, it means explore and learn more.
