Support in Relationships
While partners are not objects to be possessed, it is common for individuals to desire a sense of belonging and support from them. It is reassuring to have the confidence that your partner will be there for you during moments when you need emotional expression or someone to confide in. This type of support can contribute significantly to the quality of a relationship.
It is essential to have a solid support system in life, and it is equally important to reciprocate that support. Creating a healthy relationship involves having shared romantic interests, such as going on long walks, enjoying ice cream outings, or simply spending time together by the fire.
A solid support system is crucial for our overall well-being and happiness. It offers us a sense of security, comfort, and motivation in both positive and challenging situations. Reciprocity is an essential element in cultivating a healthy relationship. It involves both partners actively contributing to support each other emotionally, mentally, and physically. This mutual exchange of support is crucial for maintaining a balanced and fulfilling partnership.
A great way to foster mutual support in a romantic relationship is by sharing common interests. By participating in activities that both partners enjoy, the bond between them can be strengthened and deepened. This shared engagement can contribute to a healthier and more fulfilling partnership. Engaging in activities such as long walks enables you and your companion to spend quality time together, fostering a deeper connection. Additionally, enjoying simple pleasures like sharing ice cream or sitting by the fire can create intimate moments of relaxation and strengthen your bond.
Discovering shared interests can have a profound impact on the bond between couples. It not only helps them create cherished memories but also fosters better communication, understanding, and empathy toward each other's needs and desires. These shared experiences contribute significantly to the growth and strength of their relationship in the long run.

David R Wright has been featured on news outlets all across the country and is the clinical director of an outpatient mental health and hypnosis clinic located just south of Detroit, where he helps people daily using the power of hypnosis. Welcome the Motor City Hypnotist, David R.
Speaker 1:Wright. What is going on, my friends? It is David Wright, the Motor City Hypnotist, and we're back with another episode of the Motor City Hypnotist podcast.
Speaker 3:I haven't said this lately.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I was going to do. That's what I know of that. I knew you were going to say that, so I did it Woo-hoo, woo-hoo.
Speaker 1:That is Matt Fox, the other voice you hear. Hello, he is my producer, my recorder, my whatever, whatever, my partner in this podcast. Because I have to say, matt, you add a lot to this, Do I? Yes, absolutely, I could do it with somebody else, but I don't think it would be the same, honestly. So thank you for your input, thank you for being here every Monday night when we record.
Speaker 3:I'm the layman of the duo here.
Speaker 1:Well, no, but that helps to have somebody who is not in the business or is not a therapist to ask questions and have input and things that for me I might miss. Them sing sometimes and for you you could be like, oh, what about this? Well, I get that.
Speaker 3:So it's a great point and I know I've done that in the past and I know some folks that are listening they're like why would? Why would someone even ask that question?
Speaker 1:Well, because some people might have that question. That's the whole point of it. So I appreciate it. We're here in the podcast, your voice, southfield Studios. Yes, we are hanging out on a Monday night doing a podcast, having a drink. You are just saying, yeah, I am. Yeah, matt, matt's got to work later, it's still it's in the PM, it's not it's going to be nine o'clock, matt's Matt's still working, good, good for you. Thank you what I like?

I see people in therapy. I see people. They come in, we chat for 55 minutes and there's a limit to how many hours in a day I can talk to people. There's so many hours in a day, but with this not in my world I get to reach as many people as I want Well, not necessarily as I want as many people as I can. A lot more people can be connected to this rather than seeing me individually. Now, if you do want to see me individually, that's another option as well. But again, leave a review, because that helps us reach more people, which is the kind of the goal of this podcast.
Speaker 1:Let me tell you where you can find me. My website is MotorCityHypnotistScotcom. Check that out.

And, as I said, wherever you're listening, please leave a review. That helps us out. Okay, alrighty.
Speaker 2:That's how women is done.
Speaker 1:Okay, so for all you people, I was going to say women, but it doesn't have to be just women. But the title of this story is Officer Rips Off Vest, sprints Into Water. What's this Baywatch? I know, that's what I was thinking.
Speaker 3:Dude, the slow run, yeah, the slow run.
Speaker 1:Well, it's funny, Matt, because I'm going to show you the picture of this guy here. He is holding the? It's Baywatch yes, it's Baywatch with a cop uniform on.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's Baywatch, just fully clothed.
Speaker 1:So those of you listening to audio, you have to jump over to my Facebook page and see this video. I'm showing a picture of the officer holding a flotation device, just like they do in Baywatch. Yeah, that's exactly what they use. A Florida officer is receiving accolades for his swift response in rescuing two distressed swimmers caught in a rip current on a Tuesday afternoon. Okay, brooke Qualls, a witness to the incident. Wait my hand is up.
Speaker 3:Yes, the last name of Brooke is Qualls Qualls. Oh, qualls, as you said, qualls, that she's swimming, so I'm trying to figure this out.
Speaker 1:Yes, brooke Qualls, a witness to the incident, expressed her amazement at Officer Dylan Kaufman's action, stating seeing him go out there and how quick and efficient it was was just amazing. Seeing that.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:Qualls had just finished her shift at Tortuga's in Flagler Beach when she observed Officer Kaufman spring into action. I literally watched him sprint out of his police car, ripped off his vest and dove into the water and saved not one but two people who were extremely so far back in the water, stuck in nasty rip currents, she said in a Facebook post Wow.
Speaker 3:So he only had one flotation device. What did he use as the other flotation device?
Speaker 1:That I don't know. Well, there are two people right and there was only one of him. One one, one of him and one flotation device. Okay, okay, yes, sean McSweeney, another witness in the vicinity. He's left these names equally moved by the officers. Heroic actions, actually, I know some McSweeney's. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:We've had we've had.
Speaker 1:Shout out to the McSweeney's because I have friends that they're their name and I appreciate that and their son, his name's, sean.
Speaker 3:I appreciate all of that. But we've already said quals, yeah, I heard tortuga, yeah, tortuga. And McSweeney and McSweeney, yeah.
Speaker 1:Sean McSweeney, another witness in the vicinity, was equally moved by the officers heroic actions. I'd never seen anything like it. It was shocking, yet heartwarming, to witness a first responder react so swiftly, and it was truly remarkable. The Flagler Beach Police Department shared quals photos of their rescue to their Facebook page and thanked Kauffman for going the extra mile.
Speaker 3:It's like mighty miles man.
Speaker 1:Here I come to save the day oh.
Speaker 2:Good for you, one of the best SNL.
Speaker 1:Yeah, absolutely. Protecting and serving comes in many different ways, and thanks to Brooke quals for capturing this photo of officer Dylan Kauffman From the Flagler Beach Police Department in action as he responded yesterday to two swimmers caught in a dangerous riptide. Thank you to officer Kauffman's efforts, the two swimmers were successfully returned to shore uninjured. Kudos Dylan, on going above and beyond to make our city safe. The department wrote Mm-hmm, so this, this guy's in his police car, sees two swimmers in trouble, mm-hmm, in these riptides, jumps out of his car, runs across, rips a vest off, well, runs across the beach.
Speaker 1:It's his Kevlar, yeah yeah, it's his police vest, yeah sink like a well but but again, he was smart enough to know that even well okay, I'm not gonna say anything, but go on. But I mean like he, like there was no Dylan, no hesitation, he knew exactly what to do get those vests off, get in the water, save those people curious how long the beach was.
Speaker 3:How long was, yeah, I yeah, that's what that'd be great.
Speaker 1:I wish he had video to see how far he had to run and how fast he was actually. Yeah, because there is another picture that this is the only picture I printed. Uh-huh, there's another picture of him jumping out of his police car. Okay, yeah, but it doesn't. Oh, here it is. It's superimposed on this picture right here. We'll take a look at that man.
Speaker 3:All right, let me see. Okay, so there is. Wow, he actually jumped over, jumped over the roof of the police car and he actually had the flotation device.
Speaker 1:Yes, in his hands in the car.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so he okay, so that's his beat. Well, because it's flagler beach.
Speaker 1:He's probably used to being sure around swimmers.
Speaker 3:Okay, but just still, that's like Baywatch.
Speaker 1:It is, it's like police Baywatch. Baywatch 9-1-1.
Speaker 3:Laguna Beach that escalated quickly.
Speaker 2:I mean, that really got out of hand fast.
Speaker 1:That's great, anyway. Four, I want to make sure I get his name right, shawn. No, shawn was the was the witness Shawn. Mcsweeney was the witness.
Speaker 3:Officer.
Speaker 1:His name. I said it twice.
Speaker 3:It's there, you just got.
Speaker 1:Dylan Kaufman. Thank you, dylan Dylan Kaufman. Well, look at this picture. Look at this dude. He's. He's. He's in this police uniform, soaking wet, coming out of the water. You see these two people behind him. I'm sure those were the people. Well, maybe not one man might have been right. Look at him. He's all tatted up on his arm. Yeah, looks like he's walking off a movie set with an explosion in the background.
Speaker 3:I caught some killer waves.
Speaker 1:Dude so. I see this guy's got a gotee and a beard like a book beard gotee going. I hate this guy's like like kick ass man.
Speaker 3:I like that. He's a Dylan.
Speaker 1:Kaufman, I got saved a couple people who winner of the week.
Speaker 2:That's how we did is done.
Speaker 1:Yes, it is so back to it Dude, awesome waves.
Speaker 3:Have you ever wanted or have you ever learned how to surf you?
Speaker 1:know never. I'm never done surfing. I've never been a water sports fan.
Speaker 3:Okay, so if I was to ever Want to learn how to serve, and I want to mm-hmm, I need officer Kaufman on that beach with me, absolutely as a just in case, with his flotation device, his vest ripped off. Oh, now you're going. You went too far. I want to see him out there with the Kevlar. No, you want him with a shirt off. No, I want the Kevlar vest on, because those are shark infested waters.
Speaker 1:You want him with a shirt off, like his pants you don't know, you don't know me, you don't know me. All right, folks, we're talking about support in relationships.
Speaker 3:That's the support I want. That is the support I want to you.
Speaker 1:Matt, I want you to be rescued by some hot police guy. So so we're talking about support in relationships. I'm supporting Matt right now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3:Is that where you're at right now? Yeah, kind of yeah.
Speaker 1:So so here's the thing Partners while while partners are not supposed to be objects, it's common for them to have a sense of belonging and a sense of support from their partners. Sure, you know, it's kind of it's reassuring to have somebody there to kind of, you know, support you in decisions or situations you're going through, or just sometimes where you might need an emotional support from someone If you're going through something difficult, somebody you can confide in and trust, and that really I can't imagine a relationship without that, that's almost that.
Speaker 3:That's like rule number one.
Speaker 1:I mean you would think and definitely having the support contributes so much to a relationship. It's I can't even overstate that. So when we talk about support systems a lot, when we talk about, when we talk to clients and therapy, like what kind of support system do you have? And I'll tell you I just talked to somebody a few weeks back I'm like what kind of support system do you have? And I'm like, oh my, you know I have a couple of good friends and you know my dad's really supportive and is that the type of support you?
Speaker 1:really have. I have a cousin who's supportive of me and I said to the guy what about your wife? And he just looked at me who he's like? Oh yeah, her Like. It was a second thought. So, but but think about that. Is it because if you can't name your partner is number one support? That's a problem.
Speaker 3:Is. I'm curious if he just kind of expected her to support him with that.
Speaker 1:You know I don't know, because that that that's kind of what I was trying to get at, because I you know, I'm like your partner wouldn't be your biggest support Right.
Speaker 3:Your biggest cheerleader. You know that wouldn't that, wouldn't raise some right flags, oh great Odin's Raven with a big light bulb off the top of his head.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, so we talk about support systems and anonymously and every if you're with somebody, if you're in, if you're in a relationship with a partner, that person should be your number one, without a doubt. That person should be your number one because I and here's the other thing I've seen a lot. Okay, I'm dealing with couples and I'll say who, like a name, somebody or closest to, and a lot of time a guy will say on my mom.
Speaker 3:You know there's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1:There's not in context. In context, right, right. But when the mom's number one and the partner's number two, yeah, right, that that that's a problem, that that that could be, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:My, my sister and I we have a running joke where she considers me precious when talking to my mother about me.
Speaker 1:My precious precious.
Speaker 3:You're precious. She's down in Alabama, so I'm so. I'm always like you're the, you're the one ring mat no no. I tell you. But when I talk to her I'm like God bless, bless your heart.
Speaker 1:So we talk about support systems and really your partner needs to be your number one and in creating a healthy relationship is a lot of things. It's communication, it's it's it's fulfillment and support. This is what we're talking about today Supporting your partner, whether they have dreams or aspirations, or or or they're they're going through difficulties.
Speaker 3:As a partner, it is your responsibility to support your partner, not just that you know they're going to make a choice and you can support them, and if you help them to make a decision that will benefit their themselves. You know that that's even more telling than a relationship, if they they share something with you. I think this might be a good idea for you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because of X, y and Z.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 3:And that's that's the support that people look for right.
Speaker 1:Or should have. Well, and a lot of times people will be hesitant to make change, and here's, here's a big thing I deal with. A lot is people would be like, oh yeah, that that'd be a good thing. But I'm just comfortable where I'm at and I'm like, well, if it's better for you, what's holding you back? Sure, and your partner should be there to say, hey, this, this, this, you can do this, I believe in you, I have faith in you, you can do this. And that's that's that support that you need in a relationship. So so, when I talk about support and relationships, it has to go both ways to reciprocity, has to be there, supporting each other. As far as, again, emotional difficulties or decisions in life, major decisions especially, not just picking out new cupboards and new floors right, although that that's part of that's
Speaker 1:connecting with your partner in being being a part of the process, but this mutual exchange of support. It's really crucial to have a good, solid relationship. So there are a lot of ways to to kind of cultivate support. Not only that, it's, it's because here's the thing there there can be support out of obligation. How?
Speaker 1:I'm helping understand that so that statement, okay, I'll. I'll just put myself in a situation, just just for the sake of example. I'm married, I'm supportive of my wife because I have to be. That's obligation. Okay, not because I'm like puppy dogs Not not necessarily just puppy dogs, but but it's just expected. Oh, I'm, I have to support her because I'm her husband. Now that that that's just a made-up thing.
Speaker 1:That's not really feel but I'm saying I want to support my partner. That's the whole point. I want to support her with with things that would be good for her, or decisions she might have a difficult time with, or things that she might not be confident with. Okay, my, I want to support her because I want to see her succeed. So let me ask you the question.
Speaker 3:Mm-hmm. You've done this already. You've always supported your bride and everything you know. But what if that's the what if you're with the type of person that you support them and they start something Mm-hmm, and you support them, but they never finish.
Speaker 1:Well then, that's a conversation, because In a situation like that, if I'm supporting somebody and they start something they don't finish, I'm saying well, what, what held you back on that? Is there something? It is something you really want. Still, is this something I can help you achieve? Is this, is this a personal block as far as your own confidence, or your own, you know? Maybe just low self-esteem? Okay?
Speaker 3:Yeah, and you know I've, I'll put myself into the into a scenario where you know, there have been many experiences that that have happened, where you support, you support, you support. But that the individual, they start something and they're gung-ho from the very beginning, but then it just peters off and it goes away, right, right, but you, you still want to support them and you ask those questions what's holding you back? And they just really don't have a well, and sometimes they don't.
Speaker 1:Sometimes and I'm going to bring up an example Because this is very common I and I'm not pointing anyone out it's it's a lot of these, these, these sales for these sales at home type jobs, okay, um, I don't know Um it could.
Speaker 3:It could be. You know meals? It could be meals.
Speaker 1:It could be Supplements, it could be whatever, and a lot of these people get gung-ho. Amway is the big example of oh yeah, I can, I can think of your mother sells amway. So so I gotta tell you something. I I hope my roommate's listening my roommate's name was Dave. Also, his name was Dave Palmer. Okay, he was my roommate in college, my sophomore, not to call him out.
Speaker 3:But no, no, no.
Speaker 1:It's not calling him out because he because, uh. So so we used to rag on him all the time because his parents sold amway. So all of his bathroom products and all the stuff he had in our room Was amway. Was was amway products. The man went and I'm like he used to go in and like but we used to say what is this? Toothpaste, glister, I'm using glister toothpaste. His parents sold amway. No, no, I. And.
Speaker 3:I'm not criticizing it through college, I'm just kidding. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1:There's a lot of things that a lot of people are successful at, but maybe it's not for you and that's fine, and maybe you think that's something that's for you and yes and and say that that you know Somebody's partner.
Speaker 1:Oh, I want to sell amway. I'm just using that as an example. I'm not bashing amways a whole. Oh yeah, but um, I'll be like, okay, if that's something you want to do, go ahead. Mm-hmm, you know, at some point if it was, if it was costing the the family financially, you might want to have a conversation.
Speaker 3:That's why I wanted to get to. Yes was the, because part of a relationship is the support and you have to provide that support. But at some point you have to cut the shoe strings off because it is costing the household Right to not ever get ahead.
Speaker 1:Yes, Because you know, I know. I agree with that, and this goes back and we're talking about a lot of areas that overlap as far as Relationship, okay, okay. So so being supportive is not just being accepting, it's supportive as being conscious and realistic also Okay, and maybe your partner needs to hear that at some point to say, you know what, financially, this is not something that's the best thing for us, so what?
Speaker 3:do you want to do Then?
Speaker 1:you don't support me. Well, yeah, but that's a conversation that has to be had, right? So I'm going to give you some specific things in a moment as far as what you can do or some specific areas on how you can be more supportive. Okay, so Tony Robbins has a great thing out.
Speaker 1:The Ra Ra guy yeah, the Ra Ra guy and he has this kind of I don't know if it's a lesson or some, but I was reading some of this stuff and he has this thing he says in relationships, polarity plays a significant role in creating a strong connection and fostering romantic sparks. It involves finding the right balance between masculine and feminine energy Okay, so follow me here which leads to dynamic push and pull. So there are times when you're not going to agree. There are times when there is this push and pull. It's a relationship to a big war. But that's yes, it's a good, great, good, great great Odin's.
Speaker 3:That flag is, matt. You nailed it right there Absolutely. The flag keeps crossing over each one.
Speaker 1:I like this in the background. What the fuck is it with you? So he states that it's finding a right balance between masculine and feminine energy which leads to dynamic push and pull Like you said, tug of war. This interplay of energies enhances the depth of connection in a genuine relationship. Love it, which, again, reading this, I'm like wow, this is fantastic.
Speaker 1:Understanding how to be a supportive partner when expressing more masculine energy can sometimes be challenging. This is because masculine energies typically prioritize finding solutions to problems. Love it. Feminine partners may also need to embrace their femininity and assert themselves to advocate for their partner more frequently. So here's the thing, and I'm gonna break this down simplistically on what Tony Robbins just said Men are fixers, women are feelers. That's a general statement, but that's what I see in therapy every day. Okay, when women come to men, men wanna fix it. When men come to women, women wanna feel it. Yeah, and again, this is a generalization. I know what I'm saying is does not apply in every circumstance, but the majority of situations. This is how it works, and if each party realizes that, say okay. So if and I'm not talking about men, women, I'm saying if the feminine side approaches the masculine side and says I'm feeling this, this and this. I don't need a solution, I just need you to listen.
Speaker 3:You know what you just described. Yeah, I'm gonna get a little geeky with you on this one. Please do. You just described a Sith Lord and a Jedi. Yes, that's exactly what you just did, because Sith Sith deals in absolutes.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 3:How can I fix it?
Speaker 2:Where the Jedi?
Speaker 3:how are you feeling about that?
Speaker 2:I'm listening to you no more.
Speaker 1:That's exactly what you just said but that's the whole thing and there's that tug and war between masculine and feminine. Now, it doesn't matter your gender, I'm just saying that that's the feelings, the way you process things. So men are typically fixers in general. Masculine are typically fixers. Feminine are typically feelers. So if you can identify that when you're interacting with your partner you kind of know where they're coming from, because, okay, masculine typically in conflict need to feel more. Feminine needs to fix more.
Speaker 3:Right Problem solving and a relationship Well that's no, but I use the term problem solving Because if there's something going on and you've got to figure out how to make X, y and Z and I keep saying that X, y and Z happen. You need to problem solve together Absolutely how to get to the end line. And that's another great thing about a strong relationship is you problem solve together and if the partner comes up with a solution, you support that solution 100%.
Speaker 1:Absolutely, because it resolves the issue.
Speaker 3:It does. You don't try to come back and try to do something to sabotage.
