ICYMI, fellow couples therapist Ginelle Guckenburg and I went live on Instagram yesterday to offer a bit of hope to folks experiencing relational distress during these chaotic times 💕

Here are some of the topics we covered:
✨why it’s important to validate the experiences you’re having right now and to recognize that fearful parts within can cause protective strategies and conflict in our relationships
✨ how both IFIO (Intimacy from the Inside Out, or the parts work approach to couples work) and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) can work together to help you lean into the safety of your relationships when the world around you feels unsafe
✨ a guided experiential exercise to connect with parts who have wisdom to share around what’s going on inside of you during these moments of relational distress
✨ how you can courageously begin speaking on behalf of your own parts in order to connect more deeply with your partner and tend to your vulnerabilities together

Here are some resources to continue your exploration:

P.S.
We mentioned this disclaimer in the live, but it bears repeating: social media can never replace deeper therapeutic work. Our hope is that understanding these principles supports you in your own personal work with a therapist or trusted individual who can provide the unique guidance and support you need ❤️
