Having a partner that is accessible means that they are available and can be reached when you need them. When something is upsetting or exciting, you want to be able to tell your partner about it! In a similar way, when you have a question about something that gets your head spinning, you want to know that you can reach your partner to provide an answer to it.⠀
⠀
This doesn’t just refer to partners being physically accessible either. Perhaps your partner is in the same room as you, but doesn’t feel the opportunity to access you.

• Can your partner make sense of your emotions?
• Are you expressing yourself to your partner in ways that don’t blame them?
• Can you reconnect with your partner once the spinning stops and determine what’s going on inside of you?

If the answer is no, your partner’s presence won’t do any good. Neither of you will feel accessible to the other.

Are you there for me? This is a question that every couple in the world asks each other.

If the answer to this question is yes, the relationship thrives, provides long-lasting love and fosters emotional responsiveness. If the answer to the question is no, both partners feel isolated from one another, leading to frustration and loneliness. These challenges are ones we overcome in Couples Counseling using research-based Emotionally Focused Therapy.

Here’s what I tell every couple I work with: It’s very common for couples to never reach this repair moment on their own. It’s not that they aren’t capable. It’s that the cycle is so convincing—it makes each partner look like the problem instead of revealing the pattern underneath.

When you’re both already feeling like failing parents, it’s nearly impossible to see each other clearly.

This is where therapy helps. Emotionally Focused Therapy externalizes the cycle as the enemy, slows everything down, and helps partners see the good intentions on both sides. An EFT therapist creates the safe container where both partners can explore their fears, practice vulnerability, and rebuild their connection.

In EFT, we recognize that couples often fall into predictable patterns when they’re stressed. The two most common roles are the Pursuer and the Withdrawer.

Withdrawers try to keep the peace by avoiding conflict, going quiet, getting logical, or shifting attention elsewhere. Underneath the withdrawing behavior is a deep fear: “I’m going to get it wrong, disappoint my partner, and make things worse for our child.”

In EFT, we recognize that couples often fall into predictable patterns when they’re stressed. The two most common roles are the Pursuer and the Withdrawer.

Pursuers reach for emotional closeness by demanding, pushing, complaining, or criticizing when things feel off. Underneath the pursuing behavior is a deep fear: “I’m failing our child, and I’m completely alone in this.”

Every parent gets knocked off balance by their child’s struggles. Every couple has moments where they’re having completely different emotional experiences of the same situation. The pattern you’re stuck in isn’t permanent.

These are some things you can do right now to improve your parenting cycle. Learn more here: https://thrivefamilyservices.com/couples-argue-about-kids/

When couples learn to recognize the chain reaction—child behavior to parental fear to losing A.R.E. to couple conflict—everything starts to shift.

You begin to recognize when you’re knocked off balance more quickly, which means you can return to being Accessible, Responsive, and Engaged faster. You can hold each other’s parenting fears instead of fighting about whose approach is right. You can say to each other: “I see you’re triggered. I’m here. Let’s figure this out together.”

A secure bond between partners becomes the foundation for being A.R.E. parents. Your children see repair, resilience, and emotional safety modeled for them. They feel the difference when their parents are on the same team.

Because here’s the truth: Your child doesn’t need perfect parents. They need connected parents who can repair. They need parents who can stay A.R.E. even when things are hard—and you can’t do that alone when you’re terrified.

When a child’s behavior or struggle surfaces, it doesn’t just create a logistical problem to solve. It triggers our deepest parenting fears:

• Am I failing my child?
• What if I’m damaging them?
• What if they never learn this?
• What if other people judge me?
• What if something is really wrong?

Here’s what’s crucial to understand: These fears are completely normal. Every parent experiences them.

The problem isn’t the fear itself—it’s what happens next when we try to parent from that triggered place.

That argument didn’t actually start with a disagreement about parenting. It started the moment your child’s behavior triggered something deep inside you.

The cycle looks something like this:

➡️ Child behavior triggers parental fear
➡️ This disrupts your ability to parent effectively
➡️ Which then activates the negative cycle between you and your partner

Understanding this sequence changes everything.

Every parent gets knocked off balance by their child’s struggles. Every couple has moments where they’re having completely different emotional experiences of the same situation. The pattern you’re stuck in isn’t permanent.

Our couples therapists at Thrive recommend the book Love Sense by Dr. Sue Johnson as a resource for couples looking to improve their relationships.

For those partners who are skeptical of couples counseling and tend to take the logical, more rational approach to relationship issues, this is the book for you!

Written by the founder of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, which we do here at Thrive, it explains this most effective, evidence-based approach to couples counseling.

Using science and research, the somewhat mystical concept of adult love is explored and explained. This book makes the sometimes-foreign world of emotions a little more accessible if you are someone who prefers logic and facts.

This thorough explanation of attachment, bonds and the process of love can help even the most rational, engineering-minded person step a little closer to the benefits of creating emotional vulnerability with your partner.

This book is sure to help you and your partner sharpen your “love sense” to improve your relationship.

Our review: Readability: 3/5 | Helpfulness: 4/5
