It hurts every day- despite you doing the best you can to distract yourself, the minute you stop pre-occupying yourself with distractions, you connect immediately with that emotional pain inside and the emptiness and alienation. The emotional pain comes from disconnection. You don’t feel your partner is responsive and present with you. You don’t feel wanted and needed or important. When you try to address this, it doesn't go anywhere, or you end up having a fight, which makes you feel even more devastated and distant from each other. You work so hard and give so much, you are still feeling not good enough and get no acknowledgement.
How much more can you tolerate feeling unwanted, uncared for, or unloved? There is never enough safety in this relationship for the both of you to put your guard down or stop defending yourself. There is a time and place for difficult conversations with professional guidance and protection. You want to feel you deserve to be loved and responded to.
It’s time to acknowledge that the pain of disconnection is unbearable. It’s time to acknowledge that your relationship needs help. Every day you are not facing your fear or ambivalence to seek help, it’s one more day you let your relationship wither away, under-estimating the risks of negligence. Let's talk and understand how change is possible.

Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help these couples identify when they're triggered, how to interact with their partner to co-create a maladaptive cycle, and access deeper emotions hidden beneath frustration and defensiveness so they can break unhealthy patterns in their relationships.
