Are you feeling misunderstood in your relationship? Stuck in recurring conflicts that never seem to fully resolve?

Attachment is a fundamental and deep need for us as humans. When we're struggling in our most important relationships and our attachment needs aren't being met, it can feel devastating. Some relationships may only experience occasional moments of disconnection, while others face it almost daily. These moments of disconnect trigger our instincts to protect ourselves, often leading to defensiveness, criticism, blaming, shutting down, and other reactions that create distance instead of connection.

What helps couples heal?

There is so much hope for a stronger, more fulfilling relationship! Couples can learn to express their emotions and needs in a more open, connected way, allowing them to move beyond self-protective patterns that only drive them further apart. By fostering better communication and understanding, it's possible to create a deeper sense of security and attachment. And often, healing the relationship also leads to personal growth for each individual.
