How to GET your partner to OPEN UP and be Vulnerable

Of course there are things we can do to create an environment where our partner feels safe to be vulnerable and share their feelings, but that has nothing to do with whether they actually want to be vulnerable or intimate with you. Sometimes, asking them questions and being curious and calm won't be enough. Some people are too afraid of vulnerability and intimacy to pursue real emotional connection, I would know, I was one of them. It's not your job to try to fix someone, it's your job to make sure this person is capable of a deep relationship with you before you give them more of yourself.

It’s truly a skill that I’m teaching myself to be vulnerable, to emotionally connect, to able to provide a safe space where both my wife and I can be open about our feelings. The honest truth not only I been on medication to help regulate my anxiety and emotions, I been watching a lot of your videos plus countless others to help me learn a skill that I have lacking in when it comes to being in a intimate relationship with my. She truly has noticed a difference. I tell her I’m hyper focused on prioritizing her wants and needs in our relationship. I also remind her I’m a work in progress and I always will be. I thank God everyday for people like who willing put them out there help others who struggling in their relationships just like was. Thank you everything you do.

I've been having difficult times in a relationship where my partner hardly opens up about anything and is non-responsive in conversations, especially on a personal level. This is exactly what I needed to hear right now, your empathy and your advice about it. Thank you!

Follow these three things
1) dont use the "it goes both ways" tactic
2) dont use the information to hurt them later
3) dont make their vulnerability about you

doing the opposite of those three things actually teaches them to shut up. Not hard to figure out

Your channel has been so validating to the feelings I’ve had bottled up for 24 years of marriage! I’ve stopped dropping hints and asking and just made an appointment to get help. I am finally standing up for myself and your words have been so instrumental in me addressing my long unmet needs for relationship with an avoidant partner. Thank you!!!!

I’m not sure how this story will end but I know it won’t be with me staying in a one sided relationship. And my partner actually listened to a couple of your videos and didn’t blow your words off so maybe there’s hope for our long dysfunction marriage. First session was today and although it’s very hard i feel like there is purpose and I got something besides a blank stare back!

My current/ex? Boyfriend, is definitely a narcissist, and thanks to you, ive become more knowledgeable of the matter, aswell as my possible partial narcasism... lol, its a little bit of a mess, but thank you because it seems to of changed EVERYTHING in the way i think and perceive mine and his situations. Even if we dont work out, your words and advice has changed my life, literally. Thank you.

You are in my head. This hits home so much.

[ArisuOkami]

Thank you for this video. It made me feel like i was understood and heard. You addressed the things i had concerns about but had already come into terms with within me. I never want my SO to feel like they have to be anything else but themself, this video just solidified this in me.

Again, thank you

[pocomo]

We have been stuck on this for years. Thank you for sharing this!

I'm right there. Just started counseling for myself.

If your partner has his trust betrayed twice by you OR by someone else he'll never open up to you.

Absolutely one of your best video so far love it!! ❤️

No feeling is lonelier than being with someone who is there., but not really. It feels like a fraud and after a while, you want to break away from it. I guess the trick is not to take it personally., but these people R draining and you wonder why am I doing this?

[ladyofspa]

Are relationships just emotionalships. Is it required that emotional iq be higher then with friends. I think that might be what we might need to focus on emotional intelligence. Often its financial stability...i think its emotional maturity for me.

Thx Jimmy!
Divorce is tomorrow
😳😵‍💫😨 I am so nervous.
He never wanted counseling.

I‘m a woman in a relationship with a man where I have a hard time feeling loved. I am wondering what you mean when you speak about intimacy on this channel. I would like to know because maybe that is what I am missing.

[Heiconia]

What kind of lighting do you use in your videos?

[tabathaterry]

I'm a woman but I'm the stereotype of a man in relationships
