Generosity in Relationships | The Antidote to Withholding

Withholding is an expression of conditional love, whereby the withholder refuses to provide their partner with an emotional or physical need unless certain conditions are met.

Withholding examples:

• Stonewalling or ‘The Silent Treatment.’

• Withholding sex or physical affection.

• Refusing offers of physical affection.

• Failing to celebrate your partners achievements.

• Avoiding deep or meaningful conversations.

• Withholding verbal expressions of love or affection.

• Refusing to comfort your partner in times of need.

If you recognise any of these behaviours in yourself, or in your partner then this podcast is for you.
