  • People may know what a healthy romantic relationship looks like, but most don’t know how to get one. Psychologist and researcher Joanne Davila describes how you can create the things that lead to healthy relationships and reduce the things that lead to unhealthy ones using three evidence-based skills - insight, mutuality, and emotion regulation. Share this with everyone who wants to have a healthy relationship.
    Dr. Joanne Davila is a Professor of Psychology and the Director of Clinical Training in the Department of Psychology at Stony Brook University. She received her PhD in Clinical Psychology from UCLA.
    Dr. Davila’s expertise is in the area of romantic relationships and mental health in adolescents and adults, and she has published widely in this area. Her current research focuses on romantic competence among youth and emerging adults, the development of relationship education programs, the interpersonal causes and consequences of depression and anxiety, and well-being and relationship functioning among lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals.
    Dr. Davila is a Fellow in the Association for Psychological Science and the Incoming Editor (2016-2022) for the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology.
    Dr. Davila also is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in evidence-based interventions for relationship problems, depression, and anxiety.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    I wish they'd teach this in schools. We are sent off into the world with no financial education, relationship training, or real-world skills. If you come from a family lacking of, or dysfunctional in, any of these areas, good luck; you are likely to repeat what you've been exposed to.

    It is not only finding the right partner, it is also being the right partner.
    My wife and I have a system.
    When either one asks “could you”…that means the the task can wait or not be done at all. But when one says I “need you” to…the other partner drops everything, does the task with no questions asked. Although seldom used, this system has worked beautifully. Most importantly, you don’t keep count

    1.Genuinely knowing what you need and want in a partner and a relationship
    2. Selecting the right person
    3. Having and developing the relationship competence skills from the beginning
    3.1. Insight (Awareness, learning)
    A better idea of who you are, you need, you want. Knowing your partner better. Anticipate the negative/positive consequences of your behavior better.
    3.2. Mutuality
    Knowing both people have needs and both needs matter. Be able to communicate your needs clearly. Be willing to meet your partner's needs. Factor both your and your partner's needs in decision making.
    3.3. Emotion regulation
    Keep your emotion calm. Think through your decisions more clearly. Maintain your self - respect and commitment to your needs even when bad things happen in the relationship.

    Selecting the right partner is very challenging because people don't come with a manual or a QR code, which you can scan with your mobile device, to get insight into their personality. A lot of people hide their true selves, only showing their best version in the beginning, until a few weeks or few months later you begin to see them for who they are. This is why relationships are exhausting.

      That's true. Another thing is that we tend to feel instinctively attracted to what we are familiar with, what we emotionally know from our past, so those of us who grew up in a chaotic, insecure or even unloving environment have it that much harder to choose a stable, honest, loving person for a relationship - we simply filter these type of people out because they feel too distant and unknowable to us.

      Exactly. It's hard to find an authentic person. They're usually a conglomeration of expectations and (unfortunately) religious brainwashing. One of my priorities is to find someone raised without a religious background like me, because whether they turn atheist or not, there's just too much baggage that comes with indoctrination.

    Points: Insight, mutuality and emotion regulation.
    Insight - Awareness, understanding and learning. Knowing what's right for you.
    Mutuality - Knowing both people have needs and both needs matter, and working to meet those needs.
    Emotion Regulation - Regulating your feelings in response to things that happen in the relationship. Tolerate uncomfortable feelings and not lash out.
    Good talk. A lot of people need to see this. Wish I saw this 20 years ago. Now I feel totally emotionally incompetent and feel like it's just too much of a hassle to try to connect with people.

    On the bad side: fighting too much, not being able to go to your partner for support, contempt, hostility, violence.
    The problem: Do you know what to do on a day to day basis to create that healthy relationship?
    1. Know what you need and want from a partner and a relationship
    2. Choose the right partner
    3. Having a good set of skills

      I don't think the romantic type of love is special. And I am started to think that the romantic type of love isn't real. I mean about more than half of romantic couples either break up with each other or divorce each other, while most platonic best friends remain friends until death.
      I think that having a platonic best friend is a lot better than having a romantic partner or spouse is. Having someone who's like a sibling to you is a lot better than having a romantic partner or spouse. Also, you are more likely to be much more closer to someone who's like a brother or sister to you than you would be with a romantic partner or spouse.
      People tend to fight with their partner or spouse a lot more than they do with a platonic best friend, and you never fight with your best friend the way you fight with your partner or spouse. Partners and spouses are just temporary. If you break up or divorce them, it's hard to go back to them. With your platonic best friend, you're going to make things work, because they are your best friend, they are your go to partner. It's always easier to make amends with them than it is with a romantic partner or spouse.
      Most people consider their platonic best friend to be their soulmate rather than their romantic partner or spouse.

It's important for you to find a partner who is securely attached so they don't push your buttons and can support you when your "attachment hunger" comes up.

I’m damaged and it’s not that there is hope for healing but it’s that much more difficult to navigate with another human being. We’re also so afraid of getting hurt again we can’t even get our relationships off the ground because out trust muscle is so damaged. Better to get healed some where like Celebrate Recovery. It might take years but you’ll get there eventually.

      @johnnyray9107 5 лет назад +215

      I think the first step is just becoming aware that these are things to be worked on. For each of these three things, a majority of learning them comes through recognizing when they are applicable, thinking about them, and communicating with a partner.
      For insight, consider what you need in a relationship. (E.g. do you want more of an open relationship or do you want something private? Do you want someone who has a set career path/life-plan or someone who has no particular plans? Does this person need similar political beliefs as I do?) This is something one would spend a lot of time thinking about.
      For mutuality, one can practice with a partner by communicating their needs. Consider "does my partner really know how I feel about _____?" Communicating seems easy at first because you're always talking to your partner, but consider when don't you tell you partner things and why. I've seen it happen often that people dont communicate their needs directly.
      Emotion regulation is another one that requires a lot of thought. How do you feel about things and how do you respond to them? If you find yourself unhappy, consider "why?" Is it because of your partner that you feel that way?
      Personally, there were many times when I would become extremely moody and need constant reassurrance my partner still liked me. I didnt distrust her, I just couldnt convince myself. Lo and behold after going out for almost 4 years I discovered I become extremely moody when I'm hungry. (Its insight that helped me see that.) When I feel that she doesnt like me or that I need to worry she'll up and leave, I need to practice emotion regulation. Before I prod her for reassurrance, I take a breather and get a snack. I feel so much better ever single time. Mutuality allowed me to communicate this to her and organize that we constantly have snacks around in case one of us feels moody.

    From what I've seen, you have to practice healthy relationships with others, (family, friends, coworkers, etc) Bc if you don't you're just gonna carry your bad relationship habits into your romance, no matter how much you "love" the person. For example, If you are impatient with your siblings Or if you regularly tell White lies to your parents/ boss you're gonna do it to your S/O as well. Because those are the relationship habits that you've formed.

    I'm an early childhood educator and almost all of these things sounds like our social emotional goals. (Balancing our own needs with others, emoutional regulation, solving social problems, ect.) We are getting children that more and more often have experienced trauma and struggle with these skills. I think the solution is embedding them into our curriculum for early childhood and elementary school as well as beyond.

    You have to master three things in order to have healthy romantic relationship: insight (common sense), mutuality (think not only about yourself, but also about your partner and his/her needs) and emotion regulation (emotional intelligence).

  • @seignee
    @seignee 2 года назад +7

    Insight : Knowing who you are and who your partner is.
    Mutuality : Finding a comprimise, taking you and your partner's needs and communicating that with each other.
    Emotion Regulation : Regulating your own stress, anger and emotions so it doesn't negatively impact your relationship.

    Once a relationship is scarred, having meaning conversations without argument seems just impossible. We tried a different approach, tried "Lovify" a couple questions game.
    In this game you have to guess what your partner likes or expects. Helped us understand each other better. Stay strong couples :)

    Going thru some of the things that she said, its not too late to change and if you both truly love one another then you can overcome anything. There is no manual on this and there is no perfect relationship. Expect errors and mistakes and own up to them but at the same time try not to beat down on yourself.

    I agree with the message, but really think, that she got casuality backwards. I mean, she told about romantically competent people being more rational and mentally healthy. In my opinion, its the other way around - mentally healthy people are more romantically competent. I think her theory could use neuroscientific approach.

    • @MM-Iconoclast

      Similar - I got 'people who do things well, do things well'. Or 'people who are emotionally healthy are emotionally healthy' - or mix and match. A bit of a tautology. But the basic point - that there are fundamental and simple skills to be taught - is a good one. And useful.

    Totally! This type of education should start at young age. It is such an interesting world, the world of relationships with all the feelings and emotions. This reminded me of a quote: ''The more we accept our humanness and our feelings for what they actually are, rather than what we wish they were, the more we digest them and grow as a human being'' - Andrew Kenneth Fretwell. From his book Emotional Alchemy the Love and Freedom Hidden within Painful Feelings.

    I really wish that I was taught about this as I was entering my teens. I started off in an abusive relationship and all the people around me saw, but did nothing, said nothing, and as a 28 year old, I'm just barely breaking that cycle. It destroyed my life and my health- just like she said, not just mental health, but I have had chronic illness ever since I remember. It can destroy your finances, your ability to make friends, your ability to do well in school and go to college. And people don't teach it.
