Doing "the work" in a relationship doesn't mean fixing your partner or managing their emotions. And it definitely doesn't mean losing yourself in the process. ⬇️

We're told relationships take effort. And they do…the kind that starts with your own self-awareness and emotional responsibility.

Real growth in a relationship begins with personal accountability. It looks like regulating your own nervous system, communicating your needs clearly, and taking responsibility for your own happiness and healing.

What it doesn't mean is becoming your partner's therapist. Or suppressing your needs to avoid conflict. Or taking on their unresolved trauma as your project to solve.

When you focus on your own growth instead of trying to change someone else, you stop waiting for permission to feel secure in your own relationship. ❤️

October is National Depression and Health Screening Month—a reminder that addressing depression means looking beyond the individual to the systems that support them.

The chapter “Couple-Based Interventions for the Treatment of Depressive and Anxiety Disorders” in Volume III of the Handbook of Systemic Family Therapy highlights how couples therapy can play a pivotal role in treatment. By addressing relational patterns, therapists can strengthen support systems, improve communication, and promote lasting mental health outcomes for both partners.

📘 Explore Volume III and deepen your understanding of systemic approaches to depression and anxiety: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1119702224?ref_=dbs_m_mng_rwt_calw_thcv_2&storeType=ebooks
