The wisdom that comes with knowing relationships comes far more from lived experiences than from all the theory and case studies I’ve read.

These reflections have grounded themselves through a life lived, and through the countless moments of holding space for couples in my therapy room.

My biggest learning? The couples who move past the season of hurt, are the ones willing to sift through the heaviness, the darkness, and the pain, to find the pieces that still hold them together.

Having self-awareness and recognizing the part you play in a conflict does not mean you are responsible for fixing the entire dynamic on your own.

You can understand your patterns, take responsibility for your impact, and still acknowledge that your partner also brings their own history, emotions, and behaviors to the relationship.

Repair is shared work.
Emotional safety is something you build together.

November calls for softness and reconnection.
Bringing that softness into your relationship?
It’s one step at a time:
A smile
A hug
A moment of appreciation
Nothing earth-shattering —and yet everything that makes a true difference.

SAVE as a gentle reminder to nurture your relationship.
SHARE so others can be reminded as well.
COMMENT - I’d love hearing about your relationship journey.

When I went through my own separation, I kept returning to one question:
What is the purpose of this chapter?

That question taught me more about emotional connection than any book ever could.
It reminded me that disconnection in relationships doesn’t mean love is gone;
it often means fear has taken its place.

In EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), we work to uncover the emotions beneath those fears. The ones that say, “I need to know you’re here with me,” or “I need to feel safe again.”

Empathy is what bridges that gap.
It’s not about fixing your partner or the moment; it’s about understanding what’s alive underneath their emotional reaction, their anger and their hurt to be able to connect with their most vulnerable part.

If you’re in a hard season, slow down and ask yourself
• What might my partner be feeling underneath this?
• What might my partner need to feel safe with me again?

and then, ASK THEM.

That’s how repair begins —> one empathic moment at a time.

SAVE this post for when you need a reminder that challenging moments have a purpose, and that the key to moving forward lies in both of you showing up with vulnerability and empathy in your relationship.

SAVE these to use as conversation starters with your partner once a week for the next 9 weeks (bonus #10 for multicultural couples).

When I think about my own relationship, the moments that I cherish the most are those conversations where I keep learning about my partner’s internal world. It’s really exciting to know that after years together we can still learn from each other.

These questions are meant to help you build emotional intimacy by diving deeper.
Remember to:

•Be curious and be gentle with each other.

•Approach this with an intention to listen and learn.

•Finish each conversation with an appreciation for each other’s effort to open up and trust.

Make this a ritual for the next 9 weeks to nurture your emotional connection, Use these questions to open up conversations of love in a safe way.

Communication hack for couples:

Focus on what’s really important —> your emotional world

It’s incredibly easy to get caught up in the content of your communication:
What happened? vs HOW DID IT MADE YOU FEEL?

This is the place where couples get stuck in misunderstanding and distress.

Start using this skill in your relationship: whenever your partner shares something with you, ask them:

“Are you trying to share your feelings with me right now?”

It’ll give you both time to pause and process, and redirect you conversations.
