What to do when you're triggered Even the best of us get triggered. The first step is noticing that your triggered which for some can be the hardest part. Noticing that you're less open, contracted, or you’ve suddenly had a change of mood /emotion to the person or situation you’ve been interacting with.

Change Starts with You Is any of this you? Stuck, overthinking, sad, bored and not living to your potential. You want to be more emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually connected to yourself. You want to trust yourself more and your intuition. You know you're intuitive when you let go of your to-do list and you are being happy, but this is fleeting and short-lived. Fears of hurting your long-term partner by being honest. You want more me time, time to pursue your own hobbies and interests. Women, time to journal, meditate and discover yourself again. Tired of the heavy energy, heavy weight … Read More

All couples must have this for a healthy future

By |2022-03-03T17:17:24+10:00March 7th, 2022|General|

All Couples must have this for a Healthy Future All couples have disagreements, misunderstandings, and arguments. The quality of your relationship is in how well you resolve, let go and get back into living in the present moment. A couple’s ability to repair their conflict is so important, not in their ability to avoid it. Avoiding it is very unhealthy as problems build, patterns are formed, resentment builds, and a fracture occurs in a relationship. In time, this affects the level of love and intimacy, and damage can be irreparable. Successful conflict resolution sets aside the regrettable incident when its worked through and … Read More

  The Number 1 difference between Men and Women There is one thing men love to do, it’s to fix things. If there’s a problem, he has a solution. If you have a problem, he wants to fix it. In fact, “just listening” and not doing anything, makes a man feel mighty uncomfortable. Women if you’re feeling sad or you're emotional, your man will feel like it’s his problem and must fix it. He will feel very uncomfortable with your unhappiness. Know that him wanting to fix it, isn’t that he doesn’t understand (or isn’t trying to), it’s that he wants to do … Read More

  Let's discuss ways to create a connection with your partner. It’s extremely sad when couples stop trying and stop making their relationship a priority. They get inside their heads and hold onto resentment and worry about the future. What’s needed is to live in the present and to have a healthy dialogue regularly of what’s happening right here and now. Your intimate relationship is precious and taking responsibility for your part in it to be your best version in this partnership is crucial. We have a habit of projecting our own needs onto our partners and believe they are going to … Read More

Stop trying so hard to make your partner happy “I just want to make my partner happy” is a very common comment I hear in working in therapy with couples. Is it your responsibility to make your partner happy? What happens when you do everything you can, and your partner is still not happy? For example, make them dinner, earn a great income, be attentive and caring, mow the yard, take your partner on a holiday, do all the washing, plan the budget, stop drinking alcohol, stop taking drugs, play more with the children, ask less for sex and more and more … Read More

Top 5 Tips for women to be interested in sex again I’ve discovered over the years of working with couples that women are often the first to pull away from intimacy and ultimately the sexual relationship. The unravelling often begins when children come into the picture. A lot of changes in your intimate relationship and the pressure that this puts on you both and your sexual relationship is enormous. Did you know that sex encourages intimacy? Orgasms release oxytocin which is a feel-good bonding hormone. Sex helps you feel closer to your partner. You must check in with each other and understand … Read More
