How many times have you heard the advice to “not go to bed angry”? The idea behind this advice is to not let relationship conflicts go unsolved. The fear is that couples who stop talking about issues won’t get them resolved. They fear the issues will just keep coming up or getting pushed down until one person just can’t take it anymore.

In some ways, this is good advice. It is a good idea to solve relationship conflicts when they arise and when it is a good time to find a solution. However, there are times when it is better to push the pause button on relationship conflicts than to continue them. Maybe the conversation is getting too heated. Maybe one person has to get back to their job and can’t engage in the conflict anymore.

These are two big ways to tell when it is time to end relationship conflicts. Learn more here: https://thrivefamilyservices.com/dont-go-to-bed-angry-relationship-conflict/

Is there something wrong with us that I can’t say what I need without us fighting?

In short – no! We want you to know how normal and common this is in couples! It is NOT an unfixable problem!

We know that these behaviors are learned from an early age and were designed to protect you. At the same time, attachment styles can be changed! We will help you both learn how insecure attachment responses are causing damage to your relationship and bond, and how to respond instead to bring closeness.

Understanding that your continual arguments have a hidden subtext to them can change your perception of your relationship and allow for more compassion, patience, understanding, intimacy and love.

One of the most successful ways to be able to learn from and change your negative cycle is to look at your own side of it. Get started on this process of looking at your own side of the negative cycle by following these steps.

Identify the Trigger: What was the triggering event that made you first feel like something went wrong? Was it when your partner let go of your hand? Was it when your partner raised their voice? Was it when your partner walked away?

Name Your Physiological Response: Like any external stimuli, the trigger that started the negative cycle in your mind has an impact on your body. Maybe your heart started to race. Maybe your stomach tightened into knots. This is important information to have because it’s the first signal you get from your body that something is wrong.

Label Your Emotions: Believe it or not, just the act of naming your emotions has the power to be able to diffuse their intensity and to help other people more accurately understand how you were impacted.

Notice Your Meaning Making: Meaning-making is the part where you start to connect the dots between the “trigger” and the “emotion.” Not everyone reacts to a certain word choice, facial expression, or behavior the same way you do, and your meaning-making is typically connected to your past.

Connect Your Internal Response to Your Behavior: Realizing what action you use to stay safe when you feel a certain way is crucial in being able to slow down the negative cycle.

Share with Your Partner: Finally, in order to start conquering the negative cycle as a team, you can tell your partner about your trigger, bodily response, emotion, meaning-making, and behavioral reaction.

So often, I hear couples say, “We have the same unproductive fight over and over! Will you just tell us what to do differently so it will stop?”

As much as I wish that there was a magic handbook for how to be better communicators during times of distress, there is no “one size fits all” manual. Instead, getting to know your negative cycle is the best way to be able to change the disconnection you have with your partner.

While most couples seek counseling for repetitive fights over a specific topic, like s*x, child rearing or finances, most couples therapists find that regardless of the subject, the structure of the fights are the same. That’s right, it’s all the same.

As Emotionally Focused Couples therapists, it’s what we call a negative cycle, dance, feedback loop, or pattern. Many times couples will begin to come up with their own name for their negative cycle. Some common names couples use include “The Tornado,” “The Vortex,” “The Runaway Train,” etc.

Depression may be an individual experience, but the impacts of one partner’s depression can have a serious impact on a relationship. The same is also true in reverse! Relationship difficulties often cause, exacerbate, or prolong depression symptoms.

EFT gives couples the tools to see how depression is impacting their negative cycle, and chance to improve depression symptoms, and offers the opportunity to have emotional needs met in a safe space.

Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders there is. Even though one in six American adults will be impacted by depression, it can be difficult to know what to do when you or a partner is depressed.

Depression can have a big impact on every area of life, and relationships are no exception. In fact, when one partner is depressed, it often impacts the negative cycle in the relationship which can lead to couples feeling disconnected.

If you’re watching your partner go through perimenopause, you might feel confused, shut out, and unsure how to show up for the person you love.

Supporting your partner through perimenopause isn’t about having all the answers or making everything better. It’s about showing up with curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to adapt. This transition is temporary, but how you navigate it together can have a lasting impact on your relationship.

Here’s how you can offer your partner support through perimenopause in ways that strengthen your relationship instead of straining it: https://thrivefamilyservices.com/how-to-offer-your-partner-support-through-perimenopause/

10/30/2025

Perimenopause isn’t just about hot flashes and irregular periods. It’s a major hormonal transition that can last for years and affects everything from mood to memory to intimacy.

We have talked so little about menopause as a culture, it’s no wonder partners of perimenopausal women are at a loss for how to be supportive.

Yet, research shows that women going through perimenopause with supportive partners report lower levels of depression and anxiety. Your understanding and presence can actually buffer some of the emotional impact of this transition.

But here’s what many partners don’t realize: your partner might not even recognize what’s happening at first. Symptoms can be confusing and easy to dismiss as stress or aging. When you educate yourself and approach the situation with curiosity instead of judgment, you help normalize an experience that our culture still treats as taboo.
