The Power of Repair in Relationships

It’s not about being perfect - it’s about knowing how to repair when things go wrong. One of the core traits of secure attachment is the ability to navigate conflict with honesty, empathy, and a willingness to reconnect. Whether it’s saying “I was hurt” or “I want to make this right,” the process of repair builds lasting trust.

Secure attachment isn’t about avoiding rupture - it’s about knowing how to return to connection.

Your Thoughts Can Shape Your Reality - Let’s Try Reframing

Ever notice how one bad moment can snowball into “Everything is terrible”? Your brain isn’t broken - it may be running on an old script. Cognitive reframing helps you rewrite the narrative and get back in the driver’s seat.

💡 Here’s a basic breakdown:
🔹 Catch the thought – “I’ll never figure this out.”
🔹 Challenge it – “Is that 100% true? What evidence do I have?”
🔹 Reframe it – “This is tough, but I’m learning. I’ve figured out hard things before.”

Your mind will begin to believe what you tell it over and over again. Reframing isn’t just positive thinking - it’s a practical, evidence-based skill that builds emotional resilience.
