A Failure Story of Navigating a Partner’s Low Mood

October 15, 2021

Well, I, Rohini, failed miserably and didn't listen to my own advice from last week's vlog. I went on an emotional roller coaster ride with Angus when I believed his low mood talk. It just goes to show how easy it is to hit a blind spot. 

Fortunately, we both eventually stabilized and the good news is even though it was a bit exhausting there was no harm done. We were able to bounce back and even see the humor in it all. 

Let's see how I do next time Angus has a crisis of insecurity and gets reactive rather than being vulnerable. Or maybe next time, Angus will find it easier to be vulnerable. It is all part of our personal learning curves.

If you would like to listen to the Rewilding Love Podcast, it comes out in serial format. Start with Episode 1 for context. Click here to listen. And, if you would like to dive deeper into the understanding I share along with additional support please check out the Rewilding Community.

Angus & Rohini Ross are “The Rewilders.” Listen to their podcast Rewilding Love. They believe too many good relationships fall apart because couples give up thinking their relationship problems can’t be solved. Many couples don’t know how to navigate low moods, conflict, and emotional reactivity. In this season of the Rewilding Love Podcast, Rohini and Angus help a couple on the brink of divorce due to conflict. Angus and Rohini love working with couples and helping them to reduce conflict and discord in their relationships by pointing them to their innate wisdom and wellbeing. They work with couples who are struggling and couples who would like to deepen the love and intimacy they already have. They co-facilitate a private couples' intensives retreat program that rewilds relationships back to their natural state of love.

Rohini is the author of the ebook Marriage, and they are co-founders of The 29-Day Rewilding Experience and The Rewilding Community.
