Making Love Today

Bonus: Love in the Time of Corona - Are You Living With a Porcupine?

Rekindle

Has the emotional distress of living through a pandemic turned you and those around you into emotional porcupines? Do you find yourself unintentionally lashing out at your partner in ways that you don't normally do and vice versa? Has everyone in your household put up their emotional defenses while working through the stresses of social distancing? 

If so, you just might be a porcupine! 

It's natural and normal in times of stress and uncertainties for us put up our emotional defenses, similar to the quills of a porcupine. However, in order to not get hurt, we often end up unintentionally harming those we want to be the closest to right now. In this episode, Anne and Patrick discuss five practical ways we're able to address our porcupineness and find a comfortable and healthy way of emotionally connecting with others during difficult times.
