Ep57 Navigating Hurt Feelings: Beyond the Bottle Up or the Blow-Up
Please share your thoughts, feedback, and questions. I would love to hear from you. That crushing sensation when your partner hurts your feelings can leave you frozen between two equally destructive options: swallowing your pain until it poisons you from within, or unleashing an emotional tsunami that damages everything in its path. But what if there's a third way? Dr. Dar reveals a diplomatic approach to addressing hurt feelings that creates healing rather than more wounds. At the heart of relationship miscommunication is a critical distinction most couples miss – the difference between facts and stories. When your partner looks at their phone during your conversation, the fact is they broke eye contact for 30 seconds. Your story might be "I don't matter to them." Learning to separate these elements transforms how you handle emotional pain. Through practical self-reflection questions and real-world examples, you'll discover how current hurts often connect to unresolved past experiences. This podcast provides a step-by-step framework for processing feelings, identifying which of your five fundamental relationship needs isn't being met, and crafting clear requests that prevent future hurt. The most surprising insight? These transformative conversations can happen in under a minute once you master the structure. Whether you're currently nursing hurt feelings or want to prepare for inevitable future misunderstandings, this episode offers a relationship-saving approach that honors your emotions while creating deeper connection.

Ep56 What Really Draws You In and Pushes You Away: Exploring Relationship Electromagnetism
Please share your thoughts, feedback, and questions. I would love to hear from you. What really attracts you to your partner, and what drives you crazy? The answer lies in the fascinating concept of relationship electromagnetism. Just as positive and negative charges attract in physics, our relationships operate under similar invisible forces that draw us together or push us apart. Attraction goes far beyond physical chemistry. When someone's kind heart, engaging conversation style, or ability to challenge your thinking resonates with you, powerful connections form. But understanding what repels you is equally important – incompatible values, different cultural backgrounds, or conflicting communication styles can create distance between partners. While "opposites attract" holds some truth initially, maintaining relationships between different personalities requires active effort. The magnetic pull you felt at the beginning naturally evolves as your relationship matures. Those quirky differences that once seemed charming can become sources of frustration without finding common ground through open communication, genuine empathy, and thoughtful compromise. Your body often recognizes electromagnetic compatibility before your mind does. That gut feeling when you meet someone new? It's your physiology responding to the electromagnetic forces at play. Learning to interpret these physical signals can guide you toward healthier relationships and away from connections that drain your energy. The five primary relationship needs – love/belonging, freedom, fun, safety, and power – interact like electromagnetic fields, creating patterns of attraction and repulsion. When one person's need for independence clashes with another's desire for closeness, the resulting tension can be understood through this electromagnetic framework. By identifying your dominant relationship needs and communicating openly about competing desires, you can find balance even during disagreemen Welcome to the Better Relationships Podcast where Dr. Dar Hawks shares relationship tips and advice to help you be seen, heard, understood, and supported in your relationships.

Ep29 Shift the Power Dynamic in Your Relationship Today With One Small Action
Please share your thoughts, feedback, and questions. I would love to hear from you. In this episode, I talk about the power of language in relationships and how a shift from traditional titles like 'husband' or 'wife' to 'partner' can change the power dynamics in your relationship. I'll cover: The historical roots of terms like husband and wife reflect societal inequalities. Five ways these words may devalue women: Historical Inequality, Stereotypes, Limited Independence, Imposed Responsibilities. How using the term ‘partner’ promotes equality beyond traditional gender roles and stereotypes. The impact of respectful language on our perception of roles in relationships. And make a case as to why you should Shift to Using ‘Partner’.
