Connett Therapy and Coaching

Hello Friends! I’ve created my Author page and I’m inviting YOU to join me there! It’s a place where: I’ll be highlighting the books I’m working on; the one that’s recently published; we can discuss the writing journey - all the pitfalls and the joys! - and build a supportive community of readers of books that inspire us to live our most authentic, creative and passionate life! That’s the kind of stuff I write about! I’m currently working on the book Relationship Retrieval - Finding the Love You Lost and Keeping it This Time. This will help couples as a complement to therapy or instead of therapy if they want to work on their marriage themselves. And we can discuss other authors and books too and maybe YOUR writing journey!

The time has come! Hydrangeas from Dad: His Text from Beyond that Rescued My Soul: Healing and Thriving After the Loss of a Loved One - The book that has been percolating inside me for 10 years - has been published and can be purchased on Amazon.

My hope was that it would be available by Christmas and here it is.
Christmas is often a difficult time for those grieving the loss of someone they’ve deeply loved. Life without this love can be unimaginable.

I share my story as a path to healing; and to bring an understanding that our relationships continue after physical death because the soul is eternal. Stepping into this truth, learning the ways of soul communication and nourishing your own soul along it’s journey can bring the deepest meaning to your life. The awareness of soul in every day can become a new perspective for living with more passion, creativity and spirit than you’ve ever known.

For those who could receive gentle healing for their own losses and find ideas for nourishing their soul, thank you for supporting my book.

For those who know someone who can benefit from the messages in my book, and share this with others, or gift them a copy, thank you for being a vehicle for others’ healing and thriving in this lifetime.

And, thank you for helping me celebrate this major accomplishment in my life, and fulfilling a promise I made to my Dad 10 years ago!

You don’t want to just survive in your love relationship. What would it take to actually “THRIVE.” Not as enormous an amount of time as you might think. The Gottman Institute recommends a plan that take 6 hrs a week!! That’s it. Message me for details.

Ok, for all of YOU following this page, PLEASE join in the conversation. Don’t be shy! This could be a FUN place to check in weekly and see how your primary relationship is doing.

I posted 4 ways to keep your relationship strong - picture 1.
Then, I posted 5 ways to repair the damage to your relationship after it’s done - 5 positives to repair the damage of 1 negative interaction - picture 2.
Today, here’s 5 ways to Think Before You React - picture 3.

You could save these pictures into a picture folder titled: Connected, Thriving Couples. They can serve as reminders during your busy week of what you can do to thrive, not just survive, and stay connected.

What do you think? Is this helpful?

All couples have conflict. It’s not the conflict itself that produces long term damage. It’s whether you repair afterwards or not.

What’s the hardest thing about repairing?

Many couples have a hard time appologizing. Ditch the stubbornness and swallow your pride. You’ll both benefit in the end. Nobody wins the competition of “Who can hurt the other the most.” Everyone loses out on that one.

Hmmm… how to get some discussion going?

Let’s look at this first item to help couples have a lasting and satisfying marriage/relationship. The Gottman Institute found that it takes 5 positive interactions to follow up 1 negative interaction if the couple was going to still be together and report being happy after 20 years! This ONE statistic alone was 95% predictive of which couples would still be satisfied in their marriages after 20 years!! WOW! That’s not to be taken lightly!

Are you doing that in your marriage or committed relationship? Most couples aren’t when I meet them. Here’s some suggestions of 5 ways to make repairs after a negative interaction takes place.

How hard is it to do this? Why? What reminders can you give yourself to start building up more positives in your relationships? What the Gottman’s call your emotional bank account.

Let’s get some conversation started to inspire each other !
