If you'd like more support when dealing with challenging relationships, be sure to check out trybetterhelp.com/themindfulkind

Here are the three strategies mentioned in the episode:

- Observe what you can learn from your loved one about yourself (based on the quote by Teal Swan: "The people who trigger us to feel negative emotion are messengers. They are messengers for the unhealed parts of our being.")

- Practice the loving-kindness meditation

- Engage in self-care

You can also tune in to episode 87 for more ideas!

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Mindfulkind podcast.
0:06.4	I'm your host, Rachel Cable, author of the Mindfulkind book, Mindfulness Teacher and blogger at
0:12.0	Rachelcable.com.
0:13.8	Each week, this podcast will bring meaningful tips, tools and strategies so you can manage stress
0:19.2	and live more mindfully in the modern world.
0:24.7	Hello and welcome to episode 236 of the Mindful Kind podcast.
0:30.3	I've been hearing quite a lot recently from friends and people in my community
0:34.5	about how they're feeling challenged by particular people in their

1:18.5	and use meaningful strategies to heal and move forward. I personally work with a psychologist
1:25.0	so I can have a safe space to talk about my relationships
1:28.8	and to feel more heard, understood and supported.
1:33.3	I used to get really nervous about appointments, but now I look forward to them because I know I'll often feel better afterwards
1:39.8	and I learn heaps of new things and get powerful new perspectives. If you'd like to start working with a licensed professional therapist yourself, then I
1:48.7	recommend checking out better help. You'll be matched with a therapist based on what you'd
1:53.7	like to work on and then you can start communicating in under 24 hours and schedule weekly
