This week we chat through another of the Gottman Four Horsemen of Relationships- CONTEMPT. One of the biggest red flags of relationships. 🚩

Disrespect, mockery, sarcasm and name calling are a few of the ways couples might see this play out in their communication- but don't be fooled, contempt can be a subtle and trickly little beast, sneaking into relationships that you'd least expect.

We hope you're challenged, encouraged and uplifted by this raw chat all about Contempt.
