Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) are real and deeply misunderstood mental health concerns that can impact both individuals and relationships during pregnancy and postpartum.

🌻 New parenthood is considered to be the most stressful life transition and can exacerbate already existing challenges for couples, which is why a relational approach is essential.

🪴 LMFT and HTV therapist, Michela Stevenson has advanced training and certification in perinatal mental health and supports clients navigating PMADs with compassion, depth, and clinical care.

Because we are socialized within systems like patriarchy that prioritize dominance and control, many of us haven’t been taught the difference between consent and coercion in relationships.

🪴 Consent says, “Your wants and needs matter, and I want to move at a pace that feels right for everybody.”

🌿 Coercion says, “My desire matters more, and I need you to agree because I have control over you.”

Learning what true consent looks and feels like helps us unlearn these patterns and move toward relationships rooted in mutual respect, autonomy, and shared power.

Because it’s just as important for men to be actively dismantling patriarchy as it is for white folks to be dismantling whiteness, and we want to uplift some of the men doing this necessary work.

Building deeper relationships often starts with understanding the patterns that get in the way of connection and communication.

💭 When we can name what is happening, we can start to shift how we show up with the people we care about most.

Accountability is a key component of trust, and a necessary part of the repair process.

🍃 Being accountable shows a willingness to be influenced by the people you love and teaches us that discomfort, embarrassment, guilt, and shame can be moved through.

🪴Reminder that what we are talking about here does not apply to those experiencing abuse.

While conflict is part of all relationships, what we do after the conflict matters just as much.

📓 Use these journaling prompts to reflect on your own emotions and patterns, where your loved one was coming from, and what needs to happen to move towards repair.

Most of us are taught to fight to win, to be right, protect ourselves, or convince the other person to see it our way, but generative conflict offers another way to engage.

🌸 This means checking in with yourself, acknowledging our past, and making space for more than one truth in the conversation.

🌻 The goal of generative conflict is not perfection, but instead learning how to create more safety, repair, and flexibility over time.

Conflict in relationships is not the problem, but how we fight is.

🌿 High conflict is a protective response that pulls us into blame, power struggles, and cycles that leave us feeling stuck or disconnected.

🪴 Generative conflict creates space for deeper understanding and more secure connection over time.

HTV therapists can help families and couples understand what’s happening underneath the surface and build new tools for communication and repair 🧡

There is a better way to fight.

🍃 Generative conflict is when we engage conflict in ways that generate more possibilities, greater connection, and fuller expression, instead of shutting things down.

Follow along as we dig deeper into how conflict can become a pathway to connection instead of disconnection 💛
