When there is a betrayal that a couple is working through, the person who was betrayed often feels if they stop bringing it up then the other person will think “everything is good”. Meanwhile they’re still hurting and aren’t ready to let it go, leaving them feeling like they’re abandoning their needs or feelings.
Just remember letting go of a past betrayal isn’t abandoning yourself, your letting go of the impact of the pain and allowing yourself to breathe again.

Negative thoughts and feelings WILL COME after a betrayal or in the wake of some wrongdoing. I mean, we’re human, there is just no way around it. What we do after we recognize the thoughts is often what matters most, because it is our day, our week, our month, and OUR WELL BEING that gets impacted. Just remember, you have the agency to make the difference about what happens after the thought.

Thank you for inviting me to guest lecture again on racial trauma. What stood out to me this time was the level of uncertainty the current political and social climate is creating for aspiring clinicians. There is a delicate balance as clinicians between holding our own fears while supporting clients in processing theirs.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 📣📣📣
I am excited to share that on May 14th & 21st I will be teaching a two-part course with Adelphi University examining race in couple’s therapy. I’m both grateful and honored to have been invited to teach this course, as couples work is something I’m passionate about.

Believe it or not, race often goes unaddressed in couple’s therapy. Instead, it quietly shows up in conflict, shapes how safety is experienced in the relationship, and can even impact intimacy between partners. I want to help clinicians recognize when race may influence relationship dynamics.

You can register for my course and other amazing couples therapy seminars being offered at Adelphi University by visiting adelphi.edu.

For all the women 💕

Couples often struggle to understand one another, especially when there are competing needs. Built into every relational want or need is a vulnerability; someone risks being misunderstood, dismissed, or rejected. This is the “quiet rumbling” that goes unnamed that creates much of the conflict in relationships.

When couples begin therapy after a betrayal, the injured partner can easily get swept up in the how, why, and when of what happened. This leads to a natural inclination to recall, remind, and rehash the details of the betrayal. The risk here is that it keeps the couple anchored in the injury.
Real repair starts when focus shifts from event to impact. When the betrayed partner feels there is space to express how the injury affected them, they can start to feel safe again; and the partner who betrayed them can start to better understand impact and together they can start to see possibility for repair.
This process isn’t easy for a couple and begins a sort of dance, one person moving towards revealing their depth of their pain and the other person moving to create capacity to understand it.

Shipping out the puzzles I created felt special 🥰. Every order placed felt like a couple choosing to slow down and prioritize their relationship. Connection happens when we are intentional; Private Parts: An Intimacy Building Activity for Couples can help couples do this “one piece at a time”. Grateful for every order 🙏🏽

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT🎉📣📣

Today is the launch of a couples’ activity I designed and created.
Private Parts: An Intimacy Building Activity for Couples.
Why an activity? After sitting with numerous couples, I found that one of the biggest challenges they reported wasn’t just about creating time and space to connect, but how to connect. Private Parts was designed with that in mind! An activity that would be stimulating, collaborative, fun, evoke curiosity, and intentional dialogue.
Head on over to my website, link in bio, where you can purchase your box today 🧩

Many times, in relationships, whether that be with a partner, friend, coworker, or even a family member, conflict occurs because someone becomes fixated on the other person’s inability to take accountability. This can feel like dismissal of your reality! What you felt, saw, or heard.
The major challenges with accountability start when one person gets hung up on the fact they apologized already or admitted fault; not recognizing that accountability isn’t just about saying you’re sorry or admitting fault. In fact, it’s more about how the other person witnesses you manage your irritation, create space for their perspective, and validate their feelings. Think about whether you have done any of those things the next time it feels like the accountability you’re taking isn’t being recognized.
