Your mental health is more important than
your job, your weight, your grades, your family’s expectations—or anyone else’s approval 💙
From an attachment lens, tending to your nervous system isn’t selfish—it’s protective.
You matter, even when you rest 🌿

As Dr. Sue Johnson reminds us, soul mates aren’t something you find—they’re something you create 🤍
Lasting love isn’t about perfect compatibility or effortless connection.
It’s about turning toward each other, responding when it matters, and building emotional safety over time. 🌿

From an EFT perspective, secure love is formed through responsiveness and repair—not destiny.
Soul mates are built in moments of vulnerability, trust, and choice 💙

Uncertainty is difficult, it’s uncomfortable, but so is growth. Take days or moments that feel off or uncertain as an indication of development, of discovery. Take all the time you need to figure it out.

“Is your partner needy—or are you just not meeting their needs?” 🤔💙
In EFT, there’s no blame—just attachment.
What feels like “neediness” is often a signal of unmet attachment needs: safety, validation, closeness, and responsiveness. 🌿
When couples respond with curiosity instead of criticism, intimacy grows, nervous systems regulate, and love deepens 💙

Everybody is talking about boundaries lately in the therapy. People love setting boundaries and holding boundaries and making sure other people respect our boundaries. But here is the real relationship hack: people sometimes forget that having good boundaries means respecting other people’s boundaries as well. If someone chooses to live a different way or believes different things, that’s ok. Boundaries are about respect for yourself and respect for others.

He won Olympic bronze, then used his post-race interview to confess to cheating on his girlfriend. Why would someone risk everything in such a public way? From a couples therapist attachment perspective, the answer may be less about scandal and more about panic.

An Olympic athlete just confessed to cheating on his girlfriend — on live TV, right after winning bronze. Most people saw drama. As a couples therapist, I saw something entirely different. When Sturla Holm Lægreid fought back tears and called it his "biggest mistake," he wasn't just apologizing ....

As Sue Johnson teaches, communication skills don’t work when a person is emotionally activated. 🧠💥
When the nervous system is in fight, flight, or freeze, the brain can’t access logic, language, or listening skills.

From an EFT perspective, couples don’t struggle because they lack skills—they struggle because attachment safety feels threatened. 💙
Regulation comes first. Safety comes first.
Once partners feel emotionally safe and seen, communication naturally improves. 🌿

Weaponizing vulnerable sharing is like sending a bomb! It says, "I'm hurt and I want you to hurt."

Sharing how something feels in the moment is brave and to have that openness requires trust and compassion. You don't want to ruin that by using someone's words against them.
