Flag on the play. Interrupting is pass interference. 15 yards back to where the interruption occurred. 🏈

The responsibility of a partner is to offer presence. Fixing, changing, or rescuing your partner puts you in a parenting role over them. Instead of taking on that burden, challenge yourself by asking, “How can I show my partner that I am with them — right here, right now?”

Keep in mind that arguments don’t escalate without both partners mismanaging the conflict. Escalation requires both people to participate in their own way, and resolution requires both people to participate in their own way. Instead of waiting for your partner to go first towards repair, see what can happen if you start to clean up your side of the street regardless of what they do with theirs. Do your part because it’s good for YOU, not just because you want something out of your partner.

Self diagnosis is a vital piece to getting started on teasing out what’s going on; however, without appropriate assessment, it can lead to confirmation bias and treatment that can actually make things worse. Trust your intuition, but always verify.

Having moments of getting defensive in your relationship is normal, but *staying* defensive will certainly chip away at trust.

Here’s the 6-step apology framework used in the video:

• Name what happened — specifically, no softening
• Name how it affected them — verify you got it right
• Name the emotion — even a guess shows you’re paying attention
• Take accountability — no “but,” no excuses
• Say what changes — concrete, not “I’ll try”
• Offer reconnection — the part most people skip

Staying defensive won’t help you repair your ruptures, but showing your partner that you are tuned in and willing to take accountability will.

This is a video on communication structure. It is meant to demonstrate how the desired outcome – to cease yelling – can be framed in many different ways. Based on the context, one of these communication structures may be more appropriate than another. These structures can be applied to any number of behaviors, and this video is not indicative of the legitimacy of the desired outcome or strategy. It’s just a demonstration on communication structures.

Infidelity is a dealbreaker for MANY couples,  but there are folks who want to give recovery from betrayal, their best effort before determining that their relationship is over.

These are qualities that support betrayal work the most:

• Absolutely no more contact with the affair partner
• The secret keeper needs to be remorseful and recognize the impact of their actions
• The discovery partner needs to be willing to set standards for themselves and for the relationship to support rebuilding trust 

An additional bonus that is often worked on in the betrayal process is for the couple to stay in a space of vulnerability without defensiveness, shutting down or yeeting themselves out of their dynamic.

Betrayal — whether sexual, financial, familial, etc. — is a huge attachment trauma that requires at least a full year of dedicated recovery with support. It’s not right for every couple, nor should every couple be expected to try to recover from betrayal, especially if a pattern of betrayal is present in the relationship.

Betrayal can change everything about the way a couple feels and functions together… but so can betrayal work in couple therapy. Is it worth the pain and the grief?
