Overcoming Contempt in Relationships

We discuss the concept of contempt in relationships, which involves feelings of disdain and lack of respect towards a partner. This can manifest through mocking, sarcasm, belittling remarks, and emotional withdrawal. Contempt is particularly damaging as it erodes trust, emotional safety, and intimacy. To overcome contempt, it's important to identify the underlying unresolved issues, communicate openly and vulnerably, practice gratitude, and celebrate progress. Seeking therapy can also help facilitate productive conversations. Overcoming contempt takes time and commitment from both partners. #couple #marriage #relationship #contempt #divorce
