3 Tips to Avoid Being Blindsided In A Relationship

Getting blindsided in any kind of relationship is horrible, whether it's a dating relationship, well into a marriage, a friendship, or A working relationship. It never feels good to feel blindsided.
In actuality, we oftentimes get in our own way in being able to see who people really are.
Sometimes it's hard to know how to make decisions about the people we meet - friendships, dating relationships - and we don't know how to keep ourselves safe. We don't know how to identify a healthy relationship. 
 I'm Jodi Carlton, and I'm an adult neurodiversity expert, but I also specialize in working with people to recognize when they're in abusive relationships.
I'm going to give you three tips to help you keep yourself safe and avoid getting blindsided.

The Parent-Child Dynamic

When neurodiverse partners have different thresholds for household tasks and even relationship involvement, it is common for a "parent-child" dynamic to emerge. One partner takes on an authoritative role that issues directives, and the other becomes more child-like waiting on tasks to be assigned (and sometimes resisting to follow through).
 
This type of dynamic does NOT work in any relationship. In this BONUS clip, I discuss why, and how to address it in your relationship.
