✨ Often in our relationships, families, children and even in our therapy we get distracted by behaviors (the symptoms) rather than the cause(s).
Behaviors tend to get the most attention but if we slow down and focus on what needs are not being met we can truly connect and correct the core issue.
For example, with children or in intimate relationships we often focus on a tantrum or argument as bad behavior when it is often deeper than that. Can you slow down and ask yourself in these situations; does my child/partner feel heard, seen, supported, validated, loved, or acknowledged. If not, those are the roots.
Let’s focus on the roots!
