Presence > performance

Being a forever learner means having a TEALLY tight relationship with failure… 😅

I love seeing couples reach the spaces they long for in their relationship. It’s such a privilege to be a couple therapist and to sit with folks in the most beautiful and vulnerable spaces in their lives.

I’m a trauma-based couple therapist, and I’m a huge supporter of having hard conversations if it means that both partners are feeling more secure in their relationship. Here are 10 questions that are difficult but necessary to ask an intimate partnership:

1. What are things that I do or don’t do that surface fear for you?

2. When do you feel the most distant from me?

3. When I try to show you support and comfort, what do I do that works, and what do I do that doesn’t work?

4. How do I reenact some of the things that you experienced growing up?

5. What traits of which of your parents do I sometimes mirror?

6. How do you respond to my presence, especially when you’re scared?

7. What do I need to adjust to make sure that you are feeling supported in these moments?

8. What are some areas that I am missing the mark right now, and how can I do better?

9. When you’re feeling hurt, what are some of the painful conclusions that you come to about our relationship?

10. What are moments that you feel? You cannot completely rely on me?

These questions are not meant to instigate blame or criticism. They are meant to provide you with information on how you might shift or adjust to be a better partner. Use them with care.

Intimate partnership is one of the most primed environments for unhealed wounds to surface, which is completely expected and normal. We get hurt in relationship and we heal in relationship, which means that some of our deepest wounding does not even become visible until there is enough of a bond for it to emerge. The nervous system is always looking for an opportunity to heal, and intimacy is one of the most powerful invitations it has to try.

When people arrive at that threshold, they often begin to reenact their oldest trauma patterns without any awareness that they are doing it. We recruit our partners into the roles of the people who hurt us first, we hand them a script they never agreed to read, and we restage the scenes we never got to finish in the hope that this time they will end differently. Most of us do this for years. We reenact, and reenact, and reenact, and when we grow exhausted enough we replace the actor without ever changing the play, and we carry it into the next relationship and sometimes into the next generation.

But there is another option. Intimate partnership also carries within it the genuine possibility of resolution — of finally seeing the scene through to a different ending, of learning something new inside of a relationship instead of confirming everything the old ones taught. Of feeling safe, possibly for the first time, inside of a bond with another person. Trauma does not have the final say in what your relationship gets to be. It is possible to have secure relationship even if both partners have a lot of trauma.

Seven years of practicing therapy and the most powerful thing in my toolkit is “go with that.” 🤣

Don’t even get me started on learning somatic approaches after being a talk therapist for the better part of ten years… 🤦‍♀️

One of the most well intentioned and least recognized forms of emotional unavailability looks like constantly trying to make your partner feel better. The impulse comes from a genuinely good place — you love them, you do not want them to suffer, and being present for their pain without trying to change it is one of the hardest things a person can learn to do in relationship. But when comforting becomes compulsive, when you cannot tolerate your partner’s discomfort long enough to actually sit in it with them, what you are communicating underneath all of that good intention is that what they are feeling is not okay, that it needs to be different, and that you need it to be different in order to feel okay yourself. That is not availability. Genuine emotional availability means creating enough space for your partner’s full experience to exist without immediately moving to correct it, trusting them to be capable of handling what they feel, and offering your presence as a witness rather than a rescue. The most loving thing you can offer someone in their discomfort is the experience of not being alone in it, which is an entirely different thing than being lifted out of it before they are ready to go.

Therapy is vulnerable. Trauma therapy even more so. Couple therapy adds yet another layer of complexity. But trauma therapy with couples?? Oofda.

I don’t take couple who come in to heal their relationship from trauma for granted. I deeply respect the commitment to this work, and I consider it a privilege to sit with the folks who trust me with their care.

I celebrate the progress my folks see. What a privilege it is to be a trauma-based couple therapist.

🫧Serendipity Psychotherapy is FIVE YEARS OLD today!🫧

I’ve been feeling fairly emotional and reflective over the last few days leading up to this celebration. I’m mostly astounded at how much support I have received from teachers, supervisors, colleagues, partners, friends, and other professionals over the last five years. It has truly taken a massive team of people to envision, create, and sustain this practice, and I get to watch the day-to-day impact unfold in front of me every day.

I am so grateful for the support and encouragement that I’ve received over the years. I am also incredibly grateful to the folks that I sit with every day. Your bravery and courage is convicting, and your perseverance keeps me doing my own work too. Your healing journeys inspire mine, and guess what? We are healing together, just with a bit of professional separation. What a privilege it is to be humans together in the therapy room. Thank you for your trust — I do not take it lightly, and I strive to do my very best every day to honor your commitment to trauma recovery and secure functioning relationship.

These five years have come with a lot of growth, pain, experience, struggle, and lessons learned. I look back at the kid who was forced into starting her own practice fresh out of grad school due to exploitative practices in this field, and I absolutely affirm that this was the right choice for her. Here’s to the next five years: more growth, connection, healing, community, opportunity, and expansion in n the horizon!
