27/11/2025

I'm going to say this forever - humans are wired for connection. We need safe relationships to be at our best as we navigate the ups and downs of life. For many of us, relational challenges have played a key part in our beliefs about ourselves, the world and other people, the way we behave and the depth of connection we are able to achieve.

Part of that is understanding the patterns and survival behaviours that have developed over time and then working to unravel those and build in new beliefs, ways of being, behaviours etc so we can start to create change and open ourselves up to new possibilities and relational experiences.

You deserve safe relationships that support your growth, that you can pour your love and care into and receive the same in return.

Relationships ask us to show up as our real selves - with our hopes, our fears, our history, and our longing to be understood.

Dr. Sue Johnson talks a lot about this idea: loving someone is inherently a risk. Because when you let someone close, you open yourself to the possibility of hurt and the possibility of deep connection. You can’t have one without the other.

When we try to stay “safe” by holding back or shutting down, we don’t avoid the risk; we just lose access to closeness, support, passion, and shared meaning… the very things we’re wanting.

Healthy relationships aren’t about avoiding vulnerability; they’re about learning how to be with each other in it. That’s where connection strengthens and where the nervous system settles - when we know we’re not alone in the hard moments, when we feel safe enough to be ourselves, to open up, to let someone in.

To be fully seen and known - the beautiful parts of us and the parts we want to hide - is what real relationship safety feels like. And I believe that’s absolutely worth the risk, with the right people. What do you think?

Curious about the difference between EMIT and EMDR? 👀

Both are evidence-based eye movement therapies that help process distressing memories, reduce emotional intensity, and create new pathways for healing. But there are key differences in how they work, the eye movements used, and the flexibility of the approach.

Both approaches can be effective - it really comes down to your suitability and readiness for this kind of therapy, which style resonates with you and how comfortable you feel with your therapist.

Your body holds memories your mind didn’t have the capacity to make sense of.

This is implicit memory and shows up as sensations, emotions, or reactions you never consciously chose. Like the quickening in your chest, the fear and anxiety that doesn't make sense for the situation, the tension you can’t quite explain.

All this means is that your body adapted in the best way it knew how at the time.

With EMIT, we gently support the brain in integrating these old, unspoken memories so your body can finally release what it’s been holding and make room for a calmer, safer present.

Your system already knows how to heal, it just needs the right conditions.

SThe push-pull dynamic of an anxious-avoidant partnership can feel impossible to break out of.

Anxious partners need closeness and reassurance from others to feel safe and worthy. They are hyper aware of their partner's demeanour or any subtle change in their mood where they sense a hint of rejection or abandonment - their greatest fears.

Avoidant partners need space to feel safe and struggle with closeness. They rely on logic and reason, and do their best to avoid conflict and emotions (theirs and others) at all costs. Vulnerability can be overwhelming or seen as a weakness. Distance can feel safer.

As you can see, the needs of both partners directly conflict with each other. What you both need pushes the other further into insecurity rather than bringing you together, which only continues the cycle. The good news is, it is possible to move toward secure attachment together.

How do we create change? With the view that it's us against the cycle, not each other. In seeking to understand and challenge the pattern gently and with compassion for each other. To give each other the opportunity to have new experiences so we can learn to trust and provide safety as we both rework the pattern together.

Emotional safety allows us to feel seen, heard, and understood. It’s what makes it possible to open up, be vulnerable, and truly connect with someone.

Without it, our relationships feel more guarded, and trust, intimacy and closeness become a challenge.

Notice where you feel safe in your relationships, and where a little more emotional safety could make a difference.

Need support to create safe, connected relationships? Here's how I can help:
