I just love seeing happy couples.
I live for the dynamics of q***r relationships, the uniqueness of each individual and the beauty they see in each other.

I choose to work only with these couples because their appreciation for one another and desire for understanding pretty much shines through any issue they may be having, and attended to one another during session happens more often than not.

I love it so much ❤️

Nuance, yes. But also, principals.

It is SO EASY to jump on the bandwagon of bashing someone you don't know. And since we absolutely have a different set of standards for women than men, and for mothers vs non mothers, I don't expect many people to take kindly to this post.

But people, we have GOT to stop making people, ab*se, power exploitation, and greed the things that rule our decision making, both from a prossional and network perspective and from a personal perspective.

ABC, HULU, the LDS Church, and honestly TFPs family have some things to answer for also here.

Saving these for date night? Great! But tonight works too.

Finding time for just the two of you can be a lot these days. Let me help. With these four questions there's not really a good excuse to not have some bonding time this weekend. Tag your partner, or send this to them, or just save this reel for the next time the two of you are together.

These and more are always available on this account so that you never run out of questions to ask one another during date night, downtime, or just trying to spark conversation.

Make sure you are following here for more of these types of resources. ***rtherapist

Almost 30 years together, and we have learned a LOT.

We don't have everything perfect, but the ways that we have worked together and learned some of the hardest lessons of our lives have left us with a supportive and deep connection that neither of us ever expected to have in the beginning.

So today I am sharing some of what we have learned over the years with you. Maybe it resonates and maybe it doesn't, as usual take what helps you and leave what doesn't. Every relationship is different This is just what has been true for us.

Love languages have long been a staple in understanding your partner. Unfortunately, they are actually a bunch of crap.

Put together by a pastor who made a name for himself by bashing people who are gay, and telling countless women if their husbands aren't listening to them it was because they were not motivating the men "with their bodies", love languages have a fairly stories history. And don't have much of a place in modern couples therapy.

Instead of love languages, why don't you try asking your partner these questions:

- When do you feel most seen
- What makes you feel safe
- What actions or words or activities make you feel loved and cared for

And use those to begin to inform how you love your partner well.

So, do you use love languages still? Are you ready to move past them? Drop a comment below and join the conversation

Relationships aren't always easy to navigate, and needing support should not have to feel shameful.

You also shouldn't have to wonder if the therapist you are going to is going to fall into microagressions against you and your partner(s).

If you and your partner are interested in the starting therapy with a therapist who gets it drop me a comment, shoot me a DM, or check out my links to see how we can get started working together.

Spring cleaning is never sexy but it is important, and it is JUST as vital for your relationship. Checking in on what is working and cleaning through what is not helps you to stay connected, feel loved, and be present in your relationship.

Take just one of these slides and put it into practice together now. When you are ready, try another one. Change doesn't have to be big, all at once. In fact that's rarely sustainable when it is. But the small changes that are leaned into over time, consistently, are the ones that help people to reconnect in meaningful and fulfilling ways.

Which I think is what we all want from our relationship, right?

READ THE CAPTION

These are satire. Do not say these to your partner if you intend to stay in a relationship.

If you REALLY think your partner is being unfaithful, the best thing to do is have a conversation with them.

Don't accuse
Don't investigate
Don't try and trap them
Don't catfish them

Just talk to them.

There is an absolutely BONKERS stat that says couples go to therapy 6 YEARS later than they should. I'd also add to that that (most of the time) if you have gotten to the point where you feel these other tactics are necessary, your relationship needs some repair work if you both want to stay in it.

Some of these things annoy other therapists
Some of these things annoy the families of clients. But these are non negotiables for me as a therapist for q***r couples.

What non negotiables have therapists of yours had, or what do you assume to be non negotiables for a therapist?

If these sound like things you want in a therapist, let's talk! Send me a DM or check out my links to see how we can work together!

I know why you still haven't booked a therapy appointment.

You also know why.

But the job of the therapist in the room with you and your partner is NOT to tell you if you are going to "make it" or not.

Your therapist's job is to help you and your partner work through your current relationship stressors, help you find the reasons you keep coming back to the same arguments again and again & resolve the things that can be resolved so the relationship can move forward.

If you are worried about a therapist thinking negatively about you or or partner (or your relationship) let me try to put you at ease.

Yes couples who come in doing these things are typically in a more cooperative and "ready to heal" space, I ALSO see these signs when a relationship is healing and becoming stronger.

So if you aren't sure that you are currently willing to face one another when having the hard conversations, or attending to one another while in therapy, or even if you aren't sure that therapy ISNT you or your partner's last real try to repair the relationship, those aren't reasons to not book the appointment.

🤔 Interested in working with a relationship therapist who is also a real human 💁🏻‍♀️? I have some openings for couples starting immediately. Check out the link in my bio, comment LET'S GO here, or DM me for more details on how to work together.

Not quite ready for 1:1 therapy? There's nothing wrong with that, and I still want you to have tools to help your relationship.
