One thing that we forget in the throes of emotional disconnection is to nurture the feeling that your partner and you are a team.

This feeling of being one with each other starts eroding the longer you stay stuck in relationship conflict, distance, or misunderstandings.

It makes sense, when you are emotionally overwhelmed, when old attachments patterns get activated or communication feels tense, that it’s hard to feel like you’re on the same side.

Here’s the thing - we are human, and our humanness comes with flaws. Our human experience is also shaped by our past relationships and how we felt cared for and safe in those. This is absolutely going to play a role in how you show up in your current relationship.

When you and your partner are able to understand why you react in a certain way, what your pain points and triggers are, and most importantly, what you most NEED to feel emotionally safe, your relationship will start shifting into connection and repair again.

If there’s one thing you can start doing today, is to remind yourselves, as often as you can: 

“We are a team, 
we choose each other, 
you are my safe space.”

When you and your partner see each other’s fears and needs bit by bit, with clarity and compassion, your relationship becomes the a safe heaven again.

This is the work we do at The Sensitive Couples Club — creating the emotional safety that allows your relationship to thrive.

If you want more grounded support for your relationship, FOLLOW along — this space is here to help you reconnect with care.

November is looking like:

• My schedule is a mix of chaos and joy with family and therapy sessions but truthfully, I feel like I’m always running around. Took a moment to enjoy this beautiful artwork in our therapy waiting room.
• Monthly coffee with the Aussie psychologist If you haven’t tried their Chai cheesecake, you need to set a coffee date soon ☕️
• Breaks in between sessions in the office kitchen
• Spent time with .mavric.photography this week taking new 📸 for my website (last update was 8 years ago!)

How was your week? ✨

The wisdom that comes with knowing relationships comes far more from lived experiences than from all the theory and case studies I’ve read.

These reflections have grounded themselves through a life lived, and through the countless moments of holding space for couples in my therapy room.

My biggest learning? The couples who move past the season of hurt, are the ones willing to sift through the heaviness, the darkness, and the pain, to find the pieces that still hold them together.

Having self-awareness and recognizing the part you play in a conflict does not mean you are responsible for fixing the entire dynamic on your own.

You can understand your patterns, take responsibility for your impact, and still acknowledge that your partner also brings their own history, emotions, and behaviors to the relationship.

Repair is shared work.
Emotional safety is something you build together.

November calls for softness and reconnection.
Bringing that softness into your relationship?
It’s one step at a time:
A smile
A hug
A moment of appreciation
Nothing earth-shattering —and yet everything that makes a true difference.

SAVE as a gentle reminder to nurture your relationship.
SHARE so others can be reminded as well.
COMMENT - I’d love hearing about your relationship journey.

When I went through my own separation, I kept returning to one question:
What is the purpose of this chapter?

That question taught me more about emotional connection than any book ever could.
It reminded me that disconnection in relationships doesn’t mean love is gone;
it often means fear has taken its place.

In EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), we work to uncover the emotions beneath those fears. The ones that say, “I need to know you’re here with me,” or “I need to feel safe again.”

Empathy is what bridges that gap.
It’s not about fixing your partner or the moment; it’s about understanding what’s alive underneath their emotional reaction, their anger and their hurt to be able to connect with their most vulnerable part.

If you’re in a hard season, slow down and ask yourself
• What might my partner be feeling underneath this?
• What might my partner need to feel safe with me again?

and then, ASK THEM.

That’s how repair begins —> one empathic moment at a time.

SAVE this post for when you need a reminder that challenging moments have a purpose, and that the key to moving forward lies in both of you showing up with vulnerability and empathy in your relationship.

SAVE these to use as conversation starters with your partner once a week for the next 9 weeks (bonus #10 for multicultural couples).

When I think about my own relationship, the moments that I cherish the most are those conversations where I keep learning about my partner’s internal world. It’s really exciting to know that after years together we can still learn from each other.

These questions are meant to help you build emotional intimacy by diving deeper.
Remember to:

•Be curious and be gentle with each other.

•Approach this with an intention to listen and learn.

•Finish each conversation with an appreciation for each other’s effort to open up and trust.

Make this a ritual for the next 9 weeks to nurture your emotional connection, Use these questions to open up conversations of love in a safe way.
