Budding Community Alert!

Through guided processing and sound baths, participants will be invited to slow down, release tension in the mind and body, and reconnect with themselves in community with others who understand the weight of seasonal transitions and the pull towards isolation.

🎶 WHY A SOUND-BASED SUPPORT GROUP?
Community is medicine.
And sound is too.

These two together creates a restorative space for those who quietly need community and rest the most and seek it the least.

🌺 GROUP DETAILS:
- Weekly sessions: Sundays starting Oct 18 - Dec 20 (no session on 11/29)
- Cost: Pay what you can between $15 (reduced rate) and $30 (support rate: pay-it-forward option for a reduce rate spot to help support access for another participant)
- Group size per session: 6
- Duration: 1.5 hours

Fix the Problem, Not Your Partner

When you focus on the issue instead of blaming your partner, you start to experience less ruptures in your connection.

🤔 Why This Matters
- People are not broken: The challenging behavior or external situation is what needs attention, not the person you love.
- Slow down defensiveness: Blaming can make anyone feel attacked, which causes fighting back, shutting down, or engaging other types of defense mechanisms.
- Builds teamwork: Treating the issue as an external obstacle places you and your partner on one side, and the problem on the other.

👥 How to Do It
1. Sit beside each other: Move the 'teamwork' concept into action. This can shift the energy from one of facing an opponent to having each other's support.
2. Be a good listener: Seek to understand the root feelings of your partner before jumping to a conclusion, offering your thoughts, or trying to fix it.
3. Identify the patterns: Ask yourself, what part of this dynamic happens again and again? What role do I play in keeping it going? This helps expand your perspective instead of focusing on your partner's perceived flaws.

What do you notice if you allow yourself to feel into that last question?

For many of us, the answer isn’t actually logical but lived in. Experienced.

Somewhere along the way, you learned...directly or indirectly...that love, care, attention, or tenderness came with conditions.

Be good. Easy. Successful. Less. Small. More. Better.

Anything, other than what you were in that moment.

Those conditions don’t just stay in childhood. They follow into your relationships, how you receive care. It follows into what you believe you're allowed to need.

It creates questions like, “Am I too much?” or “Have I done enough?”

Now, imagine yourself as that baby. Just existing. Were you worthy then?

And if something in you says yes… what happened in between?

Notice what comes up. The thoughts, emotions, sensations, even resistance. You don’t have to fix it.

But you can begin to question the idea that your worth was ever something you had to earn.

“Why aren't we having s*x?” can feel like a loaded question but for many couples, it's also an unclear one.

Sometimes there's confusion and a sense of being in the dark.
Other times, there's an answer but it lives just beneath the surface, shaped by fear, shame, past experiences, or the words we haven't found yet.

And in that space, stories start to form. About ourselves, our partners, and what it all means.

But before we follow those stories all the way down…
I often invite people to pause somewhere simpler and more honest:

When you hear that question, what happens in your body?

Is there a pull? A flinch? A quiet knowing? A defensive part?
Is there something that says, “I think I know…” or “I don't want to look at that”?

Whatever the response, consider it a doorway.

Because s*xual disconnection isn't just about frequency or effort but desire styles, safety, communication, culture, meaning-making, and the parts of us that are trying to protect something important.

What shows up for you when you start from a place of curiosity?

If you've been looking for a therapist who offers an affirming space where all parts of you are welcome, we'd love for you to meet Eric Jones, LMSW (he/they).

Eric works with LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples, using Parts Work to help clients better understand themselves, heal old wounds, and move toward greater self-compassion and authenticity.

Healing doesn't require leaving parts of yourself behind. It begins by getting to know them.

07/16/2026

Something we've been hearing more in therapy, and seeing reflected in conversations online, is this realization: "I don't think my partner even likes me."

Many women are asking some version of the same question: Does the person I'm building a life with actually enjoy me? Or do they mostly enjoy what I do for them?

It's surfacing alongside conversations about emotional labor, domestic labor, and the ways many cisgender heteros*xual relationships have socialized men to seek partners for care, comfort, and s*x but not always for friendship, curiosity, or genuine companionship.

What does it mean if someone loves you, but rarely seems to like you?

Maybe this feeling has always been there, but you didn't have language for it. Or it grew so gradually that you adapted to it. Maybe you've spent years explaining it away because "isn't this what long-term relationships become?"

If this reflection resonates, ask yourself:

- When do I feel genuinely enjoyed by my partner?
- Can I be fully myself around them, or am I mostly performing a role?
- If nothing changed, would this relationship feel nourishing a year from now?
- If nothing changed, would I want to be in this relationship?

You deserve more than loyalty, shared responsibilities, or simply making the relationship work. You deserve to feel delighted in. To be known, enjoyed, and chosen, not just for what you contribute, but for who you are. That's not an unrealistic expectation. It's a meaningful part of secure, connected love.

And if you've been wondering whether this is "just how relationships are," consider letting that question lead you somewhere instead of silencing it. The answers may be uncomfortable, but they can also be clarifying.

Our brains are really good at making up stories.

Sometimes those stories protect us.
Sometimes...they create problems that weren't there to begin with.

I've seen it happen so many times in relationships.

"They haven't texted back."
➡️ They must be mad.

"They seem off."
➡️ I did something wrong.

"They need space."
➡️ They're pulling away.

By the time we actually talk to our partner, we've already had a whole argument in our head.

The goal isn't just to stop having these thoughts but to notice when you're responding to the story instead of what's actually happening.

A simple question can change the whole conversation:
"Is this something I know...or something I'm assuming?"

Taking just a moment for a pause can make room for curiosity instead of conflict.
