Summary
When anxiety is kicked into high gear from our "what if" questions in our relationship (romantic or otherwise) we suffer alone! Listen in for where judgment comes into play and how the inner critic makes matters even more challenging. Gina also recommends learning Non-Violent Communication as taught by Marshall Rosenberg for more help in relationship communication.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches |
| 0:09.3 | Coaches podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore anxiety, panic and PTSD sharing how you can overcome them for life. |
| 0:20.0 | Oh, Loh how welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast. |
| 0:27.0 | We're going to talk today about how to find relief from relationship anxiety. And it's a biggie, not only with relationships that are |
| 0:40.4 | romantic, but relationships with platonic friends, with family, it's a biggie. |
| 0:48.9 | And somehow the first of the year has kicked up a lot of this. I've got an email that came in, a couple of |
| 0:56.6 | emails that came in actually, and I have a couple of clients that are dealing with, one with a friendship and one with a romantic relationship |

| 1:10.4 | So I thought it is time to talk about relationship anxiety. |

| 2:05.0 | Because usually what's going on is a very critical inner voice. |
| 2:09.8 | And it's building the fears up more and more and we want to be able to see those clearly so that |
| 2:19.3 | we know what we're dealing with because often we can just start finger pointing and think this is all about the other person or the other people if we're talking about a family system. |
| 2:30.0 | But we want to clear ourselves first. |
| 2:35.0 | And so we can begin to do that by looking at where we have judgments. |
| 2:42.0 | And I mean judgments about ourselves because judgments are going to kick up very overwhelming emotions and that can just be the beginning of sliding down the wormhole |
| 2:58.0 | when we get very over-emotional. |
