Episode 293: The most toxic relationship belief

The most toxic relationship belief is also -- unfortunately --
one of the most prevalent. It's so simple that you may not even
believe me when I reveal it to you. In so many words, it's the
belief that, in your relationship, you are free to be yourself.
This is not really true, but believing it is can corrode your
relationships from the inside out. In reality, relationships are
roles, and you jeopardize the privilege of a relationship to the
extent that your behavior is at odds with the expectations
associated with your role. I'll discuss more in this episode.
