As we SWING into the new year, I thought I’d take the time to introduce myself to my new followers and update everyone on why my page has been so slow lately!

I’m Yasman 👋🏻, licensed marriage and family therapist and owner of Better Connenction Couples Therapy! Despite my practice’s name, my clients aren’t just couples. I see individuals and different family dynamics as well!

I normally use my Instagram to share nuggets of wisdom and answer questions on my story. The past 10 months or so, I slowed down because my family grew by 2 little feet 👶🏻! I’m currently on maternity leave (as all of my current clients know) and I’m planning on returning in March.

In the meantime, I’m going to try to pick up where I left off on here and post more frequently. As always, if you have any questions or would like to secure your appointment in March, my email is in my bio!

Happy New Year and see y’all in 2022! ✨💖

Does conflict resolution feel more like tug of war or teamwork in your relationship?
Chances are if you’re pushing and pulling, most of the time, you never reach a resolution. Instead, exhaustion sets in until the next round over who knows what.
I know it sounds counterintuitive, but fighting with your partner really does require teamwork and it puts your relationship to the test.
Rather than pushing and pulling, teamwork means that by listening and validating, you’re helping your partner help you. If they feel heard and understood, they’re in a better position to do the same for you.
Of course, this takes lots of practice but here are a few tips to keep in mind:
•Try not to have these conversations when you’re in a heightened emotional state
•Focus on helping your partner understand you. If they struggle, rephrase and try again
•Use non-judgemental, non-critical language
•When your partner is finished speaking, tell them what you heard them say. This helps you improve your listening skills and lets them know you heard them correctly

🖤Valentine’s Day reminds us that love is a verb, that we should express it, and celebrate it.
🤍When individuals struggle with self-esteem and boundaries, we work on putting self-love into action.
🖤When couples lose their way and have a hard time connecting the way they used to, we put love into action.
🤍This Valentine’s Day, flowers and candy aside, make a commitment to put love into practice in different areas of your life, all year round.

(According to Dr. Gottman’s research)
Therapy, especially couples therapy has been stigmatized as something you do if you’re in major trouble‼️.
A lot of couples wait to seek help because they believe they can handle it on their own💪🏽, or the next time it will be different✨; but, by the time they realize they’ve been in a recurring cycle for years🌀, there’s a lot of unpacking to do in the therapy room🧳.
The challenging part is that the longer the couple waits, the longer it takes to heal and work through things like resentment and betrayal🩹. I like to remind my couples to think of therapy as an annual physical. Even if things are great, it doesn’t hurt to come in for a check-up. 🩺👩‍❤️‍👨

Hi! 👋🏻
Every therapist’s style is so different and I’ve mentioned before that sometimes it takes a couple tries to find the right match.
Here’s what you can expect of me as we walk the therapeutic journey together:
1. I emphasize comfort, especially now with virtual therapy sessions. I encourage you to be in your comfiest clothes curled up with your pet. I don’t expect you to say things perfectly, go on and curse if you need to. Your job is to feel 100% comfortable to be 100% you for that hour and know that you are 100% accepted.
2. I encourage laughter and playfulness. Therapy can be fun and enjoyable!
3. I see therapy as a collaborative process. You are the expert of your life. I’m here to provide a safe space to help you see, think, or behave in a way that will support your end goal.
4. You will always be heard.
5. You will always be seen.
6. You will always be validated.
