"We have to take responsibility and clean up our side of the street. If we want our partner to change/meet our needs/understand us, we need to be willing to be brave and go first.”
– Margaux Flood, LCSW
Something’s gotta give.
“And to think I used to hang out with this person for fun”, you grumble, slamming plates into the sink after yet another weeknight dinner turned MMA-style emotional throwdown.
Either you’re at each other’s throats constantly or the silence is deafening – at this point, you don’t know which is worse.
You feel misunderstood and underappreciated, and the emotional distance between you is like a canyon.
You miss the days when you could just laugh together and enjoy each other’s company.
You’re drained from giving it your all but getting nowhere.
Let’s start with the bad news: The honeymoon’s over.
The good news? The best days of your relationship are still ahead.
Remember when you first met, and everything felt shiny and perfect?
Now, you've seen each other's raw, unfiltered selves. And the very things that initially drew you to each other might now be driving you crazy.
We attract opposites for a reason—it helps us grow. But it can also lead to power struggles where each person is convinced their way of looking at the world is "right."
The magic happens when you tear down your defenses and let the other in completely. By truly understanding and honoring each other’s differences, you can both show up as your real selves and feel accepted for it.
It’s not about going back to the beginning; it’s about moving forward and becoming even stronger as a couple.
When you face the hard stuff together, you build a connection that’s real and unbreakable.
This is where the real magic starts.
Imagine rediscovering each other, not as you once were, but as the fully realized people you are now.
You can become that joyously connected couple again, this time grounded in true understanding and acceptance.
This isn’t just about returning to ‘good’; it’s about reinventing it as something even greater.
Before you know it, you’ll go from being the cringey couple bickering in Target to the even cringier couple giggling and holding hands in the canned goods aisle.
I can help you get there.
