SKILLED RELATIONSHIP
HELP FOR COUPLES
We need to feel connected
We are born to bond. This is the way our brains are wired. We don't grow out of our need for this bonding, it lasts from the cradle to the grave.
Secure bonds happen in our relationships when there is emotional openness and responsiveness. They make us more resilient, less depressed and anxious and even more physically healthy!
If we don't, we send distorted emotional signals
Disconnection is an attachment threat which feels like life or death due to how we're wired. our fight / flight/ freeze system kicks in, and when kicks in we behave in ways that lead to more disconnection.
We get caught in a negative cycle
The cycle is the enemy, not our partner. All couples get caught in this cycle from time to time. The key is working out that you're in the cycle quickly and knowing how to get out of it
