Good food for thought. And if you have... you can always acknowledge that and even apologize. It may not fix everything, but it's still a worthy action.

Surviving this crisis will take a shift in mindset, and that’s tougher than we think - especially when we’re afraid.

Fear and anxiety can drive us to become very self-focused. This global pandemic is a real case of “getting sick together” or “staying well together.”

Our choices affect everyone around us. There is no such thing as “individual risk” or “individual wellness.”

This is the ultimate reminder that we are inextricably connected to each other. Turning away from collective action right now - as tempting as it is - will only generate more pain.

Owning and embracing our global interconnectedness (from a safe distance) and thinking about others as we make choices is, ironically, our only path to safety for ourselves and the people we love.

We can all get really sh*tty really fast when we’re afraid. I get it. I’m using deep breaths along with my personal mantra: ” Try to be scared without being scary.” Feel free to borrow both - they can help.

It’s also really normal for everyone to be on our nerves: The people who aren’t following the rules, the 10-second hand washers, etc. I get that too. TRUST ME.

But, like it or not, we just can’t give up on people. We’re all we have.

Stay awkward, brave, and kind. Love each other. Spread calm.

xo,
BB

Hello everyone! My practice is transitioning to online-only after this month. We are moving out of state, however I will maintain my Florida license and be focusing on my family for the time being with limited appointments available online. If you know any Florida residents interested in online counseling, please feel free to send them my way. Thank you for all of your support over the years. It's been a wonderful experience working with the local Jupiter community.

After a time, some couples start to wonder, "Are we even compatible anymore?" Funny thing is, compatibility doesn't come down to common interests, beliefs, or goals. It boils down to emotional intelligence and the dedication we give to treating each other with appreciation, love, respect, and validation for what we need. If you'd like to find out more about your relationship compatibility, contact me to set up a session together.

To get things back on track in your relationship, skip the grand gesture and just start small. Respond to their bids for connection. Take that walk. Hold hands. Cuddle on the beach. Turning toward your partner's needs rebuilds the trust essential to repair.

Making time for connection with your family is crucial to spreading and feeling the love you need. Did you know that kids also have preferred love languages? Check out the quiz at 5lovelanguages.com and have everyone complete it and then talk about it as a fun, engaging, and meaningful family activity.

Go ahead and use those rose-colored glasses. Yep. I said it. Research shows that viewing your relationship and looking for the positives results in happier couples than wondering and dwelling on what could be better. Sure you'll still go through tough times, but focusing on the good stuff will help you get through those with greater success.

Most couples wait until things are really bad before they go see someone about their relationship. If you're going to finally bite the bullet and go to a couple's therapist, do your research. Find someone trained and licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist. What methods do they use? Are they just winging it or have they spent extra time getting even more educated and growing their couples counseling skillset? I've trained in all 3 levels of the Gottman Method, a research-based approach to helping couples improve and mend their relationships, as well as completed additional training in Emotion Focused Therapy, beyond my dual degree and licensure in Marriage and Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling. What this means is that I've got what I need to help you through the toughest stuff, and isn't that what you're going to want if you're really going to dive in here? Come see me and feel confident in your choice.

If one partner has a success, take the time to celebrate it together. Let's say one of you accomplished a task that has long been hanging over their head. Think of what they need in that moment. Don't just say, "Cool." and then go back to playing Super Mario Brothers. Get up, give them a hug, and look them in the eyes as you say, "Amazing babe! I know how long you've wanted to get that done!" Happy couples make time to show each other that your success is my success.

There's one easy way to keep passion alive in your relationship. Kiss. Kiss often. Kiss long. Kiss regularly. Make it a part of your daily rituals of connection. It's a small way to show that you find each other important and that you choose to love each other again and again.
