Podcast Episode 288: 4 Flawless Strategies for Managing Stress and Revitalizing Your Relationships with Elizabeth Earnshaw, LMFT

Ever had this happen: You’re lounging on the couch after an incredibly long day, binge-watching your favorite series, when your partner calls out from the kitchen… Hey hon…have you seen my keys?

Your body tenses, palms get sweaty, and before you know it, you’re in a full-blown stress spiral over…keys. 

Yes, keys. 

Welcome to the body’s stress response, where even the most mundane requests can feel like a high-stakes interrogation. It can make even the thought of managing stress seem impossible.

Recognizing stress signals and managing stress in relationships is like decoding Morse code—but instead of dots and dashes, you’re dealing with sighs and eye rolls. Is his left eyebrow twitching? Am I suddenly craving chocolate like a contestant on “Survivor”? These are your body’s not-so-subtle ways of saying, “Hey, something’s off here!”

But here’s the kicker—understanding these stress signals can transform your relational dynamics and give you a major leg up on managing your stress. Think of it as turning your relationship into a finely tuned, stress-busting machine. So, let’s break it down in this fantastic podcast episode with our amazing guest, Elizabeth Earnshaw, LMFT. Elizabeth is a renowned Gottman therapist, founder, Clinical Fellow, and author of I Want This to Work and her upcoming Til Stress Do Us Part (due out September 10, 2024). 

Let’s to dive into the wild world of understanding your body’s stress signals, how they can turn your relationship dynamics upside down, and make managing stress a snap. So grab your magnifying glasses, because we’re about to embark on a journey where Sherlock Holmes meets Dr. Phil!

  • Understanding your body’s stress, which can transform your relational dynamics.

Four Steps to Deal with your Tween’s Next Mood Swing

You walk in the door from school. Your nine-year-old comes in after you.

Everything seems fine. She’s happy. All is well and good.

Then, you remind her that the dishwasher needs unloading.

Boom. It’s like something inside her detonates.

“Noooo… I don’t have time to do that. That’s so unfair. I can’t believe you’re making me do this!:

She glares at you, stomps over to the kitchen sink and starts crying.

WHA-ATT just happened? She was happy. I didn’t blame her. I just had a simple request.
