Do you find yourself stuck in an unhappy marriage or relationship?
Has communication been hard or nonexistent?
Do you feel like the connection with your partner has been lost?
Life has gotten so busy and overwhelming that the relationship got pushed to being the last thing on ‘the list.’
Communication is suffering
There is no time to spend together; everything else takes priority.
You feel like you’re at the end of your rope and have started to feel like divorce might be the only option.
There is trauma in the relationship, such as infidelity, and you worry that there’s no way to find your way back.
One (or both) of you has individual trauma that’s affecting how you relate to people in your life now.
Relationships have the capacity to be rebuilt and restored - and also - sometimes we need to do the work to release them in a healthy way when they’ve hit their expiration date.
Do any of these sound like you?
You’re just starting out in your relationship or marriage and trying to figure out ways to build a solid foundation of communication and connection.
You’re building your family and you’re in those early years of babies and kids, the to-do list is long but connection is short, and you’re fighting over who does more. It leaves no time for your relationship to have intimacy and connection.
Your children are grown and each of you have managed your role throughout the relationship. Yet suddenly, you find yourself looking at the other person, asking How did we get here? And what do we do now?’
You’ve had too much hurt that neither of you feel can be healed, but you know that you have to interact and work together to continue parenting a family. You realize the relationship has hit its expiration date and you have to release it, but you don’t know how. How do you engage in a new waythat's as healthy as possible, while actually moving forward?
Maybe this is your second chapter. And, this time you want to do it differently. You want to learn the skills and the tools to have a connected, loving, intimate relationship. You’ve done your individual work and you’ve now met someone that you’d like to start a new life with, and learn healthy tools so you can have the relationship you’ve always wanted.
Relationships are messy.
Two people come together with their own histories, their own stories, and their own stuff, and they try to merge with another human. Sometimes it goes really well forever and ever, and people get their own personal version of ‘happily ever after.’ That’s the exception though, and not the rule - even though that’s what we all want.
It’s so normal to have challenges in relationships, that could range from a tiny speed-bump that’s easily overcome, to sinkholes that couples get trapped in. These sinkholes could be things like trauma bonds, interactions that follow patterns of unhealthy behavior, and being left feeling alone, unheard, and isolated, where it seems like nothing could actually be different.
It’s time to stop doing the same dance.
