It’s Not Too Late to Repair

Repeating the same arguments can be exhausting and isolating, even when your love for each other runs deep. Those blame, criticism, and distancing patterns can catch you off guard and make you question the relationship.

Here's the thing: this is a common experience for couples. When our bond feels threatened, our bodies react like we're in danger, and we instinctively try to protect ourselves. These responses become repetitive and unconscious, leading to those same frustrating fights again and again. The toll it takes, both physically and emotionally, can be overwhelming, sometimes causing anxiety, depression, or hopelessness.

I understand how these fights become a never-ending cycle, and I have a roadmap to guide you out of it - it's called Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). With EFT, we'll uncover your repetitive patterns, ease the anger, and create a safe space for you both to express those important, hidden feelings. Understanding why you react the way you do will set you on the path to conquering this cycle together.
