Three Things to Do if You Experience Flooding in Your Relationship
Picture this: you and your partner are in a disagreement, and your partner says or does something that suddenly cascades you into a different space. Rather than feeling minor frustration or annoyance, your emotions suddenly turn a sharp corner. It's like these emotions are pushing you into a deep dark hole and whatever your partner is saying, you can't hear anymore. It's likely that you (and maybe your partner) are feeling flooded.
Five Ways to Protect Your Marriage During the Postpartum Period
Studies show that the first 3 years after babies were born, a whopping 2/3rd of parents experienced a significant drop in their relationship quality. Being with the baby was so sweet but being together as partners turned bitter causing a significant increase in conflict in your realtionship.
How can we do “small things often” to build our relationship?
Think of coming home from work after an awful day. Maybe you had a customer who was challenging, or a business meeting that may not have ended well. Maybe your car battery ran out and you had to travel longer in the rain, or your child was unwell all night and you haven’t slept a wink. What small things do you think would bring a smile to your face or a sigh of relief after facing such challenges?
What Can I Expect from Couples Counselling?

As life-altering as experiencing trauma in your relationships is, it should not prevent you from experiencing intimacy and romance in the future. Learn about the various ways relationship trauma manifests itself and how to deal with it in an informed manner.
Connect with your spouse in the busyness of Fall
One suggestion is to be intentional in planning time together with your partner. This doesn’t have to be daily, and it doesn’t mean taking hours out of your weekly schedule. Planning small pockets of time to sit together, talk (not about work, kids, pets, or schedules) is deeply important. Spending even ten minutes daily sitting quietly together, can be significant. You might want to create a boundary that you only want to know about your partner. Sitting with, listening, touching, and empathizing with your partner (and them with you)…these are almost like micro-moments. Their effect is powerful, however.
