Are you and your partner struggling to communicate effectively when there is an issue, and you end up lashing out or withdrawing? Often time, when a partner has an unexpected reaction to a request or a comment, this will trigger feelings of being a burden, unloved, not good enough, or that you’re too much. I imagine when you feel this as a result of your partner's response, you respond by either pursuing your partner for answers to why they behaved that way or you withdraw from them. This is a typical cycle in relationships and can lead to feelings of loneliness, depression, anxiety, and distrust and can lead to unwanted behaviors.
I will help you understand what triggers this cycle. From this, you will have an understanding of your partner's wants, needs, and emotions and have the skills to de-escalate your own emotions when triggered. This new awareness of each other's experience will help you develop better conflict resolution, strengthen your bond, and improve your relationship.
I offer individual or couples counseling to those who feel insecure in their relationship. I offer virtual and in-person in Denver, Colorado and surrounding areas (Wheatridge, Lakewood, Golden, Littleton). For a free consult, please email me through this platform or reach me through my website: www.mindbodysoulmates.com. I look forward to working with you.
