You and your partner are staring at a long, bumpy road ahead of you. Once, you were excited to go on this journey together. Now, part of you is terrified of what's to come. You want to make things work, but you're tired and weary of having the same fight over and over. You can't seem to agree on anything. Are we ready for marriage or have similar goals? What's the best way to raise our kids? Enter stress from outside the relationship- pressure from opinionated in-laws, ever-increasing demands from work, kids acting out at school. Just when you need your partner's support the most, you feel like your teammate has left you stranded.

Do you find yourself constantly trying to “get it right,” saying yes when you want to say no, or carrying a deep sense of shame or guilt? You may feel this stress in your body, often feeling tense, unable to relax, or not being able to sleep soundly. You are constantly "in your head" and having difficulties focusing on what is right in front of you. These patterns often start as ways to cope—especially after trauma or difficult life experiences—but over time, they can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who you really are.
