Stop ‘Walking on Eggshells’
You might be at this site because you’re tired of constantly walking on egg shells and trying to anticipate when the next big blowup fight will be. Lately, it’s been getting harder to string together ‘a few good days,’ and the bad days are piling up.
You can only walk on eggshells and give each other the silent treatment for so long. You know your kids are starting to notice that you and your partner aren’t getting along. You worry how much of this they’ll remember, and about the impact on their future relationships. You want to model a healthy and happy relationship to your kids, but you feel so stuck in constant conflict.
You’re in a tough season- young kids, busy schedules, building careers, health routines, family, friendships- it’s a busy life. But, you know- deep down- it’s more than that. You know that the cracks you’re seeing are only made worse by this busy season of life. You know that your relationship is missing some important pieces needed for a happy relationship.
You know that with the right tools, a plan, and some help, this could really work! The things you’ve tried before were too time consuming, were forgotten when things ‘got better,’ or your partner wouldn’t get onboard with.
And you find yourself going to bed upset- yet again- riding that rollercoaster of emotions: the tears, the rage, the hopelessness. You wonder whether tomorrow will be any better and hope you’ll find something that will actually work. Soon.
“Hi, I’m Tina Power…
One of the questions I get asked all the time after I tell people I’m a couples therapist is, “So, why do people really go to couples therapy?”
And I wish I had a more exciting answer for them than…… “COMMUNICATION.”
Yup, the large majority of the clients that reach out to me looking for couples therapy want to work on their communication. They say things like…
“It’s like we’re not even speaking the same language anymore!”
“Any and every conversation we have turns into a fight we’ve had a million times!”
“I feel like I’m saying the same thing over and over and they’re not hearing me - either that, or they just don’t care anymore.”
I believe communication is the bedrock of every relationship. There’s nothing more affirming and validating than when someone puts words to your experience more eloquently than you could yourself. Then again, feeling constantly misunderstood by the person who’s supposed to know you best will make your relationship crumble and make you really start doubting yourself.
I’m honored to help couples learn the communication skills they need to feel truly heard, seen, and loved by their partner. The couples that are brave enough to reach out for help and use the tools are not only changing how they communicate with their partner, but they are showing their children how to communicate- and paving the way for a legacy of healthy relationships.”
