Caring for a partner with a serious health condition is incredibly challenging. Their behavior and emotions can change, leaving you frustrated, worried, or simply confused. In this episode, I dive into a concept called "the manual," a set of expectations we often have for how others, especially our partners, should behave. Drawing from my own experience and insights from Brooke Castillo of The Life Coach School, I explain how these expectations can unintentionally create distance in your relationship.
We all want the best for our loved ones, but our emotions often become tied to whether they follow our "manual." When they don’t, it can lead to frustration and disconnection. I share real-life examples to illustrate how letting go of these expectations can foster deeper understanding, connection, and emotional empowerment.
If you’re caregiving and find yourself struggling with your partner’s choices, this episode offers a fresh perspective on how to support them while maintaining your own emotional well-being.
