Low moods can be contagious and it is easy to get pulled into discussions with our partners when they are in a low mood.
Angus and I have both spent countless hours discussing things from a low mood state of mind and expending tons of emotional energy never getting anywhere and often getting deeper into upset only to find after we both have settled that there isn't even an issue or if there was one it was easy to solve when we both returned to a good state of mind.
We have got better now at not engaging in low mood conversations while still being compassionate with the other's low mood. We hope this vlog helps you to avoid the downward spiral of low mood talks in your relationships.

Angus & Rohini Ross are “The Rewilders.” Listen to their podcast Rewilding Love. They believe too many good relationships fall apart because couples give up thinking their relationship problems can’t be solved. Many couples don’t know how to navigate low moods, conflict, and emotional reactivity. In this season of the Rewilding Love Podcast, Rohini and Angus help a couple on the brink of divorce due to conflict. Angus and Rohini love working with couples and helping them to reduce conflict and discord in their relationships by pointing them to their innate wisdom and wellbeing. They work with couples who are struggling and couples who would like to deepen the love and intimacy they already have. They co-facilitate a private couples' intensives retreat program that rewilds relationships back to their natural state of love.
