David Phillips - Energetic Awakenings

David Phillips - Energetic Awakenings Energetic Awakenings helps you achieve personal transformation through body based therapy & energy work.

Main modalities are: Core Energetics, Imago Couples Therapy & Reiki. Personal transformation is a change in the way you feel about yourself and subsequently the world. Hidden beneath the physical surface, are levels of emotions, thought patterns and learned beliefs that help shape your self image. Imbalances and energy blockages on these levels manifest as emotional discomforts and even physical i

llnesses. The most effective way to create transformative change is to uncover root causes and begin the healing process from the deepest emotional level. Conventional therapy and medicine take a different approach to healing. Body based therapy and energy healing offer a holistic healing solution encompassing body, mind and spirit.

Researchers had partners hug for 20 seconds and measured what happened to their hormones.

The short version: couples with more physical affection had measurably higher oxytocin — the bonding, stress-reducing hormone — than couples with less (Light, Grewen & Amico, 2005, Biological Psychology).

We know — it sounds almost too simple. And that's exactly why it's easy to let it slide. Physical affection tends to fade slowly, not all at once, so it rarely feels like "a problem" until you realize it's been months since you really held each other.

This isn't just for couples who are struggling, either — the calming effect of touch shows up regardless of how satisfied you already are in the relationship.

So here's the whole ask: 20 seconds. Today.

If you want help rebuilding habits like this one, that's exactly the kind of work we do in session. Book a consult today: energeticawakenings.com

We tend to think trust breaks in one big moment — the lie, the affair, the betrayal everyone can point to.

But most of the time, trust doesn't shatter. It erodes. Quietly. In moments so small you might not even clock them in the moment.

It's asking "how was your day" and already being checked out before the answer comes. It's mentioning something small that's bothering you and getting brushed off. It's admitting you were wrong about something minor and having it thrown back at you in the next argument. It's needing space after a hard conversation and getting chased or punished for it instead.

None of these feel like a big deal in isolation. But your nervous system doesn't grade on a curve — it's keeping score, and it's what decides whether a relationship feels safe to relax into or safe to brace against.

If you read through this and recognized your relationship in more than one of these, that's worth paying attention to — and it's very repairable.

We help couples rebuild trust in the small, everyday moments, not just after the big blowups. Visit our website if you're ready to start: energeticawakenings.com 💛

Have you ever stayed in a relationship because it felt right — only to realize later it just felt familiar?

Those aren't the same thing, and your nervous system is really good at blurring the line between them.

Familiarity is the relationship where leaving felt scarier than staying. It's bracing for the letdown before it even happens. It's apologizing before you know what you did wrong — just to keep the peace.

Love isn't any of that. Love is calm. Love doesn't ask you to brace for impact. Love doesn't need constant appeasing to stay steady.

If you've spent years mistaking one for the other, it's not because you don't deserve better. It's because your nervous system learned to call the familiar "safe," even when it wasn't.

Swipe through, and be honest with yourself about which slide hit closest to home.

And if you're ready to actually learn the difference — in your own relationship, with real support — that's exactly the work we do in session: energeticawakenings.com

it takes roughly 5 positive moments to undo the damage of one negative one. so "we're happy overall" doesn't cancel out a sharp comment.

the good news: the 5 don't have to be big. a look, a "thank you," a hand on the back — small deposits, made often, are what actually move the number. what doesn't move it is just not fighting. silence isn't positive. it's just neutral.

"you're overreacting." "you always do this." "well, I said I was sorry."

these get said with good intentions, and they still land as dismissal almost every time. support isn't about fixing the feeling fast — it's about staying present with it long enough for the other person to feel less alone in it.

we broke down 7 common phrases that sound supportive but shut people down, and what actually helps instead.

one of the hardest things to untangle in session is the difference between trauma bonding and love — because from the inside, they can feel identical. relief after a blow-up. holding onto the one good week to excuse the bad months. believing no one else could ever understand you the way this person does.

none of that is love. it's your nervous system adapting to survive something, and calling the adaptation "closeness."

real love doesn't ask you to hold your breath in the first place.

researchers can predict divorce with over 90% accuracy — just by watching what happens after a fight, not the fight itself.

the joke. the reach. the "okay, let's back up." whether it gets taken or brushed off. that's the actual predictor.

Conflict rarely announces itself directly.

It's the sigh instead of the answer. The silence instead of the pushback. The "it's fine" that isn't fine at all.

These aren't random — they're protection. A way of guarding something that feels too vulnerable to say out loud.

Noticing the behavior is step one. Getting curious about what's underneath it is what actually moves things forward.

one of the hardest things I do in session is help someone unlearn that intensity means love.

love bombing is grand gestures in week one, being told you're "the one" before they've even met the real you, and affection that burns hot and disappears the second you ask for space. real love is quieter than that — it shows up on the boring days, it survives a boundary, it waits until it actually knows you to choose you.

if you've only ever experienced the first version, it makes sense that the second one might feel underwhelming at first. follow along for more on this, or book a session with our practice if you want help learning the difference.

"if we're in couples therapy, we've already failed." "if we're still fighting, it's not working." "some couples are just too far gone."

i've heard all three walk through my door as reasons not to start. none of them hold up. 70% of couples who actually do the work see real, lasting change — including plenty who were convinced they'd be the exception.

the goal was never zero conflict. it's repairing faster and it costing you less every time.
