Show Notes

In the third and final episode of this mini-season, Janhavi delves into emotional regulation with Dr Rachel Low from the Psychology Department at Victoria University of Wellington.

Rachel tells Janhavi what role emotional regulation plays in romantic relationships, and explains why bottling up your feelings takes more energy than sharing them. 

We also look at how partners who feel loved can buffer the destructive behaviors of partners who feel unloved. Confused? Tune in to the episode to make it all make sense. 

Rachel and Janhavi round off by talking about ‘capitalisation’ and ‘self expansion’, everyday behaviours that can make your relationships better. 

There’s also a rapid fire interlude, philosophical ponderings, and the eternal question: ‘What is love?’
