Arrive Psychology

This is worth a read. I still believe antidepressants have a weight of evidence and we shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater, but we can’t do one thing at the expense of these other factors. At Arrive Psychology I offer CBT-i (described in this article) and CBT-E (for disordered eating) in additional to psychotherapy. This additional training has really highlighted how important it can be to get sleep and nutrition right.

Better sleep and exercise habits, to start, but that's not all.

I was reading this article and found myself agreeing with so much of it:

[https://www.huffpost.com/entry/losing-a-fight-for-real-goog_l_6a514d47e4b084b03f7eda6a](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/losing-a-fight-for-real-goog_l_6a514d47e4b084b03f7eda6a)

One of the biggest shifts I see in couples therapy is when arguments stop being about who is right or wrong, who won or lost, and instead become opportunities to better understand each other and strengthen the relationship.

That doesn't mean agreeing on everything. It means working as a team against the problem, rather than against each other.

If arguments in your relationship feel like they're becoming battles instead of conversations, it might be time for a different approach.

Arrive Psychology offers couples counselling in Bundoora and via Telehealth.

From where you are to where you want to be.

Spoiler: It's not about not getting your way or not getting your point across.

Ask your partner tonight what implicit rules you’re both using.

I’ve been pondering implicit rules lately.

The unspoken expectations we create in relationships without ever really talking about them.

Things like:
“you should’ve known”
“you should want to”
“i shouldn’t have to ask”

A lot of conflict ends up being less about the actual issue and more about two people unknowingly playing by different rules.

Have a read and see what you think.

When we think about “rules” in relationships, we often imagine things that are spoken clearly.
