Relationships don’t struggle because partners don’t love each other.
They struggle when protective patterns replace connection.

In couples therapy we work to understand those patterns — so communication, intimacy, and trust can be restored

• Not about the topic on the surface
• Conflict = nervous system threat response
• One feels criticized → defends or shuts down
• Other feels dismissed → pursues or escalates
• Both react to danger not each other

Underneath most fights
• Am I safe with you
• Do I matter
• Will you turn toward me

Therapy slows the moment
So partners respond to vulnerability not defense
